All sanctum kids just want someone to take them home, but for some of them, it’s a life or death situation. Some harbors have euthanasia lists where unwanted children are put to death.

But after he eventually convinced someone to love him, one poor dog’s life was saved just in time.

Madeline Garvis is a levy for the BARC sanctuary, which is based in Houston. Recently, she came across an 11-year-old dog named Bear who she described as “one of the saddest kids I’d ever seen.”

The Dodo claims that Bear arrived at BARC in June after being arranged as a hasty. No bone

was considering endorsing him, and he seemed to have no remaining stopgap.

On TikTok, Madeline posted, “He wouldn’t actually lift his head until I went into his kennel.

no bone since

Bear ended up on the sanctum’s euthanasia list because no one seemed to be interested in endorsing him, and Bear appeared to have given up as well. He was just about to be put to sleep.

However, Madeline decided to give the dejected old dog some time outside the kennel after noticing his commodity. She wrote, “I chose to see if he was different outdoors.

In the end, he was. Bear appeared a completely different dog after being initially startled, waving his tail and putting his tongue out. Madeline positioned the dog outside, noting that it could shake, “liked affection,” and “loved being outside.”

Madeline told The Dodo, “Not a bad word to say about Bear. He was quiet, behaved well when being leashed, walked with a leash that was practically falling off of him, knew how to sit and shake, and was heartworm-free.

Madeline took part in Bear’s narrative to commemorate the importance of supporting vulnerable children and volunteering. Without her compassion, not a bone

would have been aware of what a nice dog Bear was.

We’ve had very little opportunity to interact with the children and observe how they behave in public, which is noticeably different, as supported by Bear, Madeline remarked.

Thanks to that inspiring transformation outside, the story has a happy ending. Bear established his first home one hour before he was scheduled to be put to sleep.

Madeline told The Dodo, “He was one of 28 lives who were put to sleep that day. It’s wonderful that a dog like him made the euth list. He truly has the ideal personality; he is so relaxed and kind.
