A two-month-old puppy named Okra had been adopted, and away he went to his new home; or at least that is what everyone assumed would happen, but a puppy’s life doesn’t always turn out as planned. Volunteers and staff at the Heartland Humane Society in Corvallis, Oregon, were heartbroken when the butt-wiggling, adorable puppy was returned to the shelter.
The previous adopters had been looking for a service dog, and it was to be their first dog; their trainer told them that Okra was too shy.
So there this cutie was – back in his shelter enclosure not understanding at all what just happened. Check out his brief video after having been returned to the shelter:
So sad didn’t even give him a chance prayers he finds the best loving home.
I don’t understand how anyone can build a puppy’s hopes, make him believe he has a home and a family, then return them to the shelter
TikTok comments
So in the end however, Okra did find a home, and likely the awesome TikTok video helping the puppy’s plight to go viral made the difference. We are proud to add that (as of 16 hours ago), Okra was adopted.
