From time to time, a homeless dog’s plight resonates with enough people that their story reaches viral status. Such is the case for a dog who spent so much time at a Texas animal shelter that she lost hope of ever having a family of her own.
The dog, a seven-year-old pup named Leela, was in the care of the Pflugerville Animal Shelter – and though staff and volunteers loved her, she had lost her sparkle.
Fast forward to Thursday – Leela’s viral story finally reached the person who was moved to make Leela their own. In a jubilant Facebook post, the shelter wrote:
Today our longest in shelter stay, Leela, was ADOPTED!!!!
The shelter thanked the individuals who took the time to share Leela’s story:
Thanks to everyone’s shares and positive thoughts, she is now in her forever home!
Have no doubt – networking does save lives (and rejuvenate lost spirits!). Your efforts do matter. Congratulations on your new home Leela!
