It’s wonderful that more people are adopting dogs from shelters rather than purchasing them from pet stores. Animal shelters in the country are already congested, and there are millions of rescue canines searching for a permanent home. Unfortunately, not all canines have the same opportunities as others.
Many people prefer adopting an energetic and healthy puppy. Due to this, there are currently a great number of stray dogs at animal shelters. Typically, these are canines with specific requirements or geriatric dogs.
Tofu is one of the dogs that lived in a shelter and was already 14 years old and had multiple health issues. He is also blind and is missing a leg because it had to be amputated because of cancer. Tofu was rescued from an abusive family and has been at an animal shelter for the past decade.
Many employees and volunteers at the animal shelter believed that Tofu would spend the remainder of his new life at the shelter. However, they also realized that Tofu needed a loving permanent home more than any other dog. Due to his age and impairments, he was essentially unwanted by everyone.
Nevertheless, love arrives when you least anticipate it.
A woman named Danila arrived at the shelter, and she fell in love with Tofu. She did not care that Tofu was blind, missing a leg, or was elderly. Danila simply knew that Tofu needed a loving family, and she believed that her family would provide that for him.
It turned out that Danila has always desired to adopt a disabled dog. When she met Tofu, she realized that he was the ideal dog to adopt. Even though Danila already had five dogs in her home, she and her husband chose to adopt Tofu.
Danila had to wait a month for Tofu to be adoptable. He still required surgery to recover, as well as time to recuperate.
Tofu eventually moved to his new permanent home. He quickly adapted, and all of Danila’s other dogs accepted him as a member of the pack.
Tofu proved to be such a lovely and affectionate dog that Danila could not believe he had been treated so cruelly in the past. Tofu was finally able to experience what it really is like to be a true family member because of Danila.
