He Was So Shocked About Leaving The Shelter That He Couldn’t Move. But Keep Watching…
In the United States, approximately 3.9 million dogs and 3.4 million cats live in animal shelters. Only about 2.7 of them get adopted – a year. That same number is euthanized – each year. When a dog gets adopted, it is a BIG deal, especially for that dog. Many shelters will call the last walk the dog makes out of the shelter their Freedom Walk, an appropriate name!
In this video, we see Austin taking his Freedom Walk. It is heart wrenching, I found myself cheering the dog on, telling him he will be happier in his new home! You got this Austin, good boy! After a little hug, and some gently coaxing, he made it!
There are too many dogs and cats in shelters. If you can, adopt one (or two!), record their Freedom Walk and share it! It will make everyone feel good.Now, where are the kleenex?
