All Kelly, a sweet pup, ever wanted was love, but she faced rejection instead.
Her previous owner, a cruel breeder, used her for profit and abandoned her when she was no longer useful. Sad and hungry, Kelly wandered the streets seeking compassion and love, hoping someone would help her despite her past mistreatment.
Kelly Arrives at the Shelter
The Humane Society of Broward County in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, rescued Kelly. They were heartbroken to see how malnourished and neglected she was. At the shelter, Kelly charmed everyone with her adorable personality, enjoying the affection she received.
“Kelly is an absolute love bug and enjoys being with people and getting affection. She is goofy and likes to play with chew toys and go for walks,” said Susan Leonti, a digital marketing specialist at the Humane Society of Broward County, to Newsweek.
The shelter staff wanted to find Kelly a home quickly. They shared a video of Kelly’s story on social media, showing a hopeful pup standing in her kennel, wagging her tail.
A couple, looking to adopt their first dog, saw the video and fell in love with Kelly. The next day, they went to the shelter, eager to take her home.
The Short-Lived Happiness
The shelter staff were overjoyed, believing Kelly had found her happiness. On adoption day, Kelly was ecstatic, beaming as she said goodbye to her shelter friends. Her new parents were determined to make her happy.
However, shortly after taking Kelly home, they discovered one of them was allergic to dogs. Sadly, they had no choice but to return Kelly to the shelter.
Kelly experienced a glimpse of happiness, only to have it taken away. Back in the kennel, she was heartbroken.
“Since being returned, Kelly has had such a sad and worried look on her face. When we walk by her kennel, she cries out to us and has a look of desperation in her eyes. It is simply heartbreaking to see,” added Leonti.
Despite loving her shelter friends, Kelly needs her own humans. She dreams of experiencing true love for the first time in her life. Hopefully, Kelly’s dream will soon come true, as she deserves to find parents who will dote on her and make her happy.
