A senior dog, being held at an animal shelter in North Carolina, has a sad story that will break your heart. The elderly Mastiff was surrendered to the Wayne County Animal Adoption and Education Center in Goldsboro by her owner – also surrendered was this senior dog’s life-long canine companion.
Someone touched by the dog’s sad plight has created a Facebook post to help find someone to help – the post reads:
Such a sad story, this female senior mastiff is in a kill shelter in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Her male lifelong partner was adopted so she sits alone to die. Both were brought in and surrendered by the owner. Here I am again asking for help but I just saw these two today and just had to get their pictures to send out .”
Fortunately, in the happiest of updates – not long after the compassionate post on behalf of this senior dog was made, a heartwarming update came along. This senior dog has found a new home!

Did you ever hear about the man who set a record that nobody else wants to break? Read more about this freak incident here.
So happy she was adopted, but, I read on the facebook thread that the owner brought in 2 more dogs. Wtf?!
It’s good to hear that the senior dog has found a home. BUT, these 2 dogs will never feel completely attached to another human. They will always long for each other. Why do people do these things????
I have adopted almost all of my dogs as adults, including my mastiffs, and several as seniors. It might take a little while, but they do form new bonds. It is too bad the pair was seperated but better to be apart than to be put to sleep.
Adopted. Freedom photos on fb link.
Such a beautiful story all crybabies need a forever home
Perhaps( I am hearing impaired) someone can call the shelter and ask them to hook up the 2 new owners, so that these doggies can get together occasionally?
