UPDATE: Shelter dog whose heartbreaking photos compared how happy he was and then his sad face adopted after 469 days

Admin

What could be more heartbreaking than watching a dog’s bubbly personality change to a sullen looking sad face after having spent 469 days in an animal shelter without any adoption offers? Well, we wanted to provide an ear to ear smile update of Siberian husky, Ace, and his extended stay at the Sonoma County Animal Shelter.

It had been in September when Ace gained national attention after a TikTok video went viral. Ace had been an active and very cheerful pooch when he entered the shelter. Sadly, more than 430 days in the shelter, that precious look of excitement and hope finding someone to love him and fill his days with adventures and his nights with love, seemed to have disappeared. Fortunately, Ace had lots of awesome volunteers and staff at the shelter to keep his spirits up until his dream came true.

Check out his TikTok video which garnered more than 1.5 million views.

Ace is still here! He is beyond ready to find his person. Ave loves swimming, talking, and treats. He is super smart and very Husky. He is a total goober that is a huge sweetheart. Ib: @AnimalHouseShelterHuntley #shelterdog #husky #huskytok #shelter #animals #dogs #adopt #rescuedog #animalshelter

Our collective hearts broke watching the video. Ace entered the shelter on May 26, 2022 looking adorably energetic and happy, but by day 431 he looked so sad. And even though it is indeed very sad watching this young, beautiful dog change from happy to sad, it is the sad videos which seem to fire up more attention.

With the video getting really popular, we had a lot of interest coming in for ace, which made me really happy because it means, he’s getting seen and he’s that much more likely to get adopted.

We are so happy for this sweet boy and grateful to his new family for adopting from us. Ace even has a new Husky sibling!
