Anyone who looks at an animal in a shelter can clearly just see how sad they are. Their eyes tell it all. They’re scared. They’re nervous. They’ve given up any and all hope they had. We hate seeing them like that, which is why we encourage everyone to adopt, don’t shop.
The truth is that we don’t truly know the extent of how these animals feel in shelters. TikTok user @humanebroward, an animal shelter in Florida, highlights the toll being in a shelter takes on these animals. You’ll need a tissue for this clip because it will break you into pieces.
@humanebroward Shelter life is hard 😔 And it’s showing on 2-year-old Jalen. This gorgeous girl was found as a stray and then left in the back of our property. We have all fallen for her spunky personality, but the weeks are taking their toll on her and she has developed an eye infection 💔 Our veterinary staff is treating her with antibiotics and her eye should heal completely, but what she really needs is a new life away from all the stress 🙏 #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #dog #dogsoftiktok #shelterdog #adoptme ♬ original sound – Humane Society Broward County
Ugh, they need to add a warning for this video. We weren’t expecting our hearts to be torn out completely. The caption isn’t wrong – shelter life is hard. And we will never know how hard it truly is. This is just one example of how being in a shelter completely changes an animal. They lose their personalities and all their hope.
@theyhate_jaliyah12 commented, “All dogs need love.” Retweet! They deserve all the love, all the cuddles, and all the treats in the entire world. We hope more and more people will start to adopt and that owners take care of their babies so shelters have fewer residents.
Another TikTok user, @sosa45000, wrote, “I will pray right now for a loving home for this beautiful dog.” As will we! We’re praying for a loving home for all the animals living in shelters right now. If you’re interested in adopting the sweet, fur baby angel from the video, or another animal, please visit the Humane Society of Broward County website for more information.
