As the Indy Mega Adoption Event drew to a close on Sunday evening, one dog, left sitting in his cage, appeared to know that he did not find a home. As the event closed up, a photo was taken of the pit bull sitting inside of his cage…head low, body still, tail down.
Dogs know
Make no mistake, dogs are aware of much more than people give them credit for. This lone dog (Ali) certainly seems to be aware that he did not find a home. He appears to be heartbroken that all of the dogs around him left with new families, while he sits alone, still homeless.
He needs a home
The Indy Mega Adoption Event was a huge success – over 600 cats and dogs found new homes. But Ali went back to the shelter and he continues to wait for his special day to come. You can help Ali find a home by networking his adoption information on your social media outlets (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest).

Someone please give this beautiful dog a chance you will not regret it feel so sorry for him prayers he finds a loving home soon
Has this poor baby found a home?
Tragically, no. I will keep sending donations, no matter how long it takes, until he is adopted. I cannot believe this beautiful dog STILL has not found a loving caring home! Please keep spreading the word. Thank you.
Keep sharing, there has to be a person out there for this boy!
I can’t believe no one adopted him! Such a handsome boy. Won’t someone give Ali the love he deserves?
Shared with prayers & love.
Ali has all good comments and will make some family a wonderful pet. Look beyond his size and meet him. Take him for a walk,sit with him and talk to him. Show him the love you would any other potential adopting dog. He looks so dejected and am sure he felt that way when he saw the other animals get out of their cages and go away with other people and he sat in his cage. See beyond his size and even foster him to help him find his forever home. There is someone out there for him. Just keep networking and having meet and greets.
I was so Choked Up when I saw this particular Post yesterday I simply couldn’t even respond … having had dogs all of my life, I can verify that these magnificent Companion Animal’s are so Much More Intellectual than ANYONE GIVES THEM CREDIT FOR.. ALLI indeed had and STILL HAS A COMPLETELY BROKEN HEART over the FACT NOBODY wanted him… and I know that if any of Those of Us that are regular posters here would go and get him ourselves if WE were anywhere close. Myself live over two thousand miles from there.. Hopefully the Individual’s that had such a success with over 600 animals finding a home WILL NOT GIVE up on ALI..
I agree. Tears here too. So hoping he gets a lovely home very soon xx
This is heartbreaking :(((
I agree. I am in Northern California (way too far) & I have tears in my eyes for this precious treasure…….
I just want to snuggle him & reassure him the world is OK…..
I wish I could adopt them all, but our house is not a kennel…..
Absolutely will network and pray HARD!
Where is he at? Is he still available? I live in Michigan but would be willing to come and get him. He needs a good home and that I could give him.
You are awesome Gail! He’s at the City of Columbus Animal Care Services in Indiana. (812) 376-2505
Please update us on this sweet pup. ????????
Yes yes is there any update???
YES !!! THANK YOU GAIL!!!! The power of the internet 🙂 Much love to you.
Dear Gail
City of Columbus Animal Services in Indiana.
Also, donations may be available to help. Please let me know if you need more info. You are TRULY an angel! Please keep us posted on this site. Thank you again and again.
You are awesome this post brought tears to my eyes I’m in California but keep us posted on what happens. And if you were able to adopt this good dog and brighten up his world.
Yes, please keep us posted on this beautiful pup!
I’m in NC and would take him in a heartbeat. ????
He’s still available. Call them. Keep us posted.
Did Ali get a forever home? I’m in Arizona. This breaks my heart.
Stupid POS low life I just want to sedate this scumbag and cut off his head. Sick disturb fucked up idiot is all I can say and hope someone tortures the scum. Lives of puppies were destroyed, therefore his life needs to be destroyed.
Who are you talking about? The article is about Ali. Where does it say in the article that he was abused?
Couldn’t someone have taken him and the others? That is awful. Sharing this guy.
Of course someone could have taken them but they didn’t. That’s why they need our help. Resharing.
PLEASE HELP HIM FIND A NEW HOME!!!!
What happened to the person that said she was going to adopt him? Just talk?
Did Ali find a home? This is so sad. Please update.
Does anyone know what happened to Ali?
I’ve been wondering too. Still haunting me. Anyone have an update?
Aloha, Carol
The entire cost for adopting Ali is $100.
Let me know if that is affordable for you. Otherwise, there may be help through donations. Please keep us posted.
So what is happening with Ali? Seems to have been forgotten? Not by me and not by many many others I bet!
I would take this dog! So cute. How much is it to get it?
Aloha, Carol
Thankfully, Ali is still available for adoption. Please click on the Petfinder link–they will get back to you very quickly. Through that process they will let you know the cost.
Please keep us posted.
Does anyone have this info? Please help Carol. Time may be limited!
Everyone, thankfully, Ali is still available for adoption!
Ali is available for adoption for $100. Hope Carol is able to adopt. She will keep us posted.
Is there an update on Ali?
Have fam who put in an application also!
What’s the latest?
I am so grateful and excited for Ali! Please keep us posted!
So,What happened to.Ali?
I think we’re all hoping and praying for some good news.
Waiting,wishing, praying and hoping for a happy update!
Any update on this sweet boy???
Has this dog been adopted yet? My brother may be willing to take her.
Michelle, I am very worried about Ali. It would be amazing if your brother could adopt. If this is possible, let me know how I can help. Thank you very much.
Please please someone adopt this beautiful dog! My understanding is that there have been applications, but nobody follows through with the adoption! I know some of us would be willing to donate to help this sweet angel! She has been through one disappointment after another!
I just checked on this link, as of yesterday 07/20/18 he was still available. He is beautiful but I am far away and have other dogs and cats and free ranging chickens or I would get him in a minute. here is the link. https://www.petfinder.com/dog/ali-40813177/in/columbus/city-of-columbus-animal-care-services-in64/
Thank you very much for the link–I am praying HARD for Ali!
Ali is sill facing one heartbreak after another. I am sure the shelter would sincerely appreciate donations for his care while we hope and pray for a super fast adoption.
Continuing heartbreaks for Ali as people commit to adopt him and then don’t follow through!
Still more heartbreaks for Ali. People commit to adopting him and then don’t follow through.
Update on Ali
I just spoke to Animal Care Services in Columbus, IN and Ali is STILL without a home! Fortunately, the people there deeply care about animals, but Ali is still very sad and seriously needs a loving, caring home. Please help Ali.
Ali…you are such a beautiful baby with kind eyes. I pray you find a loving home very soon. I would take a road trip from VA to come and get you but it says you prefer to be the only pet (we have two pit mixes and two Rotties already.) I shared your story on FB and will keep checking on you for a happy ending update.
Thank you so very much, Lisa. I check on Ali every day. I can’t help but wonder if Ali could adapt to a home with other dogs. In any event, he is not benefiting from all the heartbreaks at the shelter (even though they are doing the best they can for him).
Still there
I know he is still there. I will continue donating monthly to his care FOREVER if that’s what it takes.
But, of course, my hopes and prayers are that he will find the loving home he so deeply and richly deserves.
Don’t think my recent comment posted. I am donating monthly to Ali’s care and will continue indefinitely until Ali receives the loving caring home he deserves!
I wish I can help him…. I will keep continue sharing of his plight until he got adopted happily. :\
Thank you, TK, a thousand times over!
I don’t think my last comment got posted. Yes–the tragedy continues. STILL–nobody has adopted this dear beautiful dog!
I will gladly continue to pay for his care until he finds the loving caring home he so deeply deserves!
I think part of it is because he needs to be only one pet in a house? Also maybe new set of his pictures in petfinder will help? I will continue to check about his news regularly and keep on sharing about him as well.
Aloha, TK and everyone trying to help Ali. I really appreciate your help. Whatever the circumstances, it is still taking way too long for him to find a loving home. I hope and pray he will be okay. My thoughts are that he probably will be okay as long as there are donations for his care. I will donate forever, if necessary.
Cannot believe–STILL–this handsome sweetheart does not have a home! But I will never lose patience and will never stop supporting him!
I don’t think my last comment posted. Unbelievably, Ali STILL does not have a home! I will remain patient and will donate to his care indefinitely!
I posted another link on Facebook. Can everyone do that again and try to get this handsome boy some love !!!
Thank you, El and everyone. With your help Ali is destined to find a great home!
Please don’t forget about Ali. He is still at the shelter. Thank you.
Its difficult to forget about Ali. I just posted about him last week. So sweet…I’d love to take him but read he is not good with other dogs…
I will keep posting weekly. I hope it helps. 🙂
I am still pinning about him weekly whenever I have a chance. How is he doing there, I hope he is not stress?
Thank you, Cassandra and everyone! I will gladly continue donating to his care, but he “desperately” needs someone who is able to give him a loving caring home!
Aloha, TK
Since I am out of state I can only check on him by email or phone. He seems as good as any dog can be at a shelter, but he deserves so much more love and happiness. Only a loving caring home can give him that.
Thank you for all your help. I will never give up on him either.
Someone needs come meet their new best friend, Ali, and take him to his furever home today!!
Reposted him again for more exposure! Don’t forget about this beautiful pup! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/ali-40813177/in/columbus/city-of-columbus-animal-care-services-in64/
Thank you very much, Cassandra! We will never forget Ali!
I will never forget–I will keep donating to Ali’s care until he is in his deeply loving forever home!
My last post seems to have disappeared! Please don’t forget about Ali! Thank you.
It’s November now. Any news?
Aloha, TK! I just found out Ali is adopted! Hope and pray he “stays” adopted! This is my “ultimate” Christmas present! I will keep you posted if anything changes. Thank you and everyone else, including Pet Rescue Report, so very much for caring! Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all!
That’s fabulous!!
I’m so glad to hear the wonderful news!
Thank you Jan and everyone who shared Ali! Happy Thanksgiving!
Aloha, Cassandra, and thanks again and again to all! Happy Thanksgiving!
