“Pietro is a charming, cheerful guy who loves people.”

Commenting on the challenges confronted in terms of discovering properties for grownup rescue dogs, Kruyt mentioned there’s a frequent false impression that shelter dogs have points.
“Adult dogs often face challenges in finding adoptive homes, while puppies are typically adopted more easily. Unfortunately, there is a common misconception that adult dogs at shelters have issues. In reality, many of these dogs are incredible and have simply been let down by people.”
Over the previous yr, the month-to-month adoption charge at Tears Animal Rescue has averaged 31.
“Adoptive families complete the rescue process and not only find their furry friend, but in doing so, create space to give another vulnerable pet a second chance at a happier life.”
There are at the moment 91 grownup dogs and 35 puppies up for adoption. For extra info on the “fabulous five” contact Tears.
