Elderly Dog Wasn’t Being Rescued For One Reason As Adopters Passed Him By

1 month ago 19

Eeyore, a senior dog from Los Angeles, California, had already survived heartbreak before he found himself overlooked by adopters for a sad reason. His scars and asthma left many people passing him by, seeing him as “damaged goods” instead of recognizing the loving companion he truly is.

Originally saved from a euthanasia shelter by Philozoia, an animal welfare organization, Eeyore showed everyone he met that he had nothing but love to give. The team described him as crate and house trained, kid-friendly, and full of affection. Eeyore loves attention, naps, and carries his stuffed toy everywhere he goes.

Despite his sweet nature, Eeyore remained without a home for a long time. Potential adopters seemed to look past him simply because of his appearance and health conditions. Hope arrived when a young woman named Harshey decided to foster him, touched by his story and determined to give him a chance.

Harshey shared a moving video of Eeyore on TikTok, revealing the scars behind his ears and on his back. Although he had endured suffering, he never lost his gentle spirit. When she reached out to pet him, he flinched, revealing the depth of his past trauma.

In the video, Harshey said she fears no one will ever come for Eeyore, a thought that captured the hearts of viewers across the internet. Thousands were moved by his story, flooding the comments with messages of love, encouragement, and hope for his future.

While some viewers asked why Harshey could not adopt him herself, she explained that by continuing to foster, she can help save more dogs at risk of euthanasia. Her hope is that Eeyore’s story inspires others to look beyond appearances and welcome dogs like him into loving homes.

Eeyore’s resilience reminds us that every dog deserves a second chance. His scars may tell a painful story, but his heart remains full of love. Thanks to compassionate rescuers and fosters like Harshey, Eeyore has a future filled with hope.

Now all he needs is a family who sees him for the brave, kind soul he truly is.

@njyslve Fostering is always hard, but this one is going to hit different. A senior dog with severe scarring and asthma is seen as damaged goods for most adopters. But Eeyore has been nothing but brave and kind since I picked him up tonight. Please consider Eeyore. He is available through Philozoia rescue in SoCal. #adoptdontshop
