Heartbroken dog is scared when he’s led out of kennel – But then he seems where he’s going

Very often, we speak of the profound impact adoption has on the life of the animals whose neglectful owners leave at shelters. However, our words are pale in comparison to witnessing first hand the joy these creatures feel the moment they get adopted.

Going from a tiny kennel to a comfy home surrounded by people who care is priceless. Luckily, those animals who are adopted are given the chance to experience this sort of unbridled happiness. 

When Maveric, a gorgeous German Shepherd, was left behind by his family, he ended up at the Cаrsоn Animаl Shеltеr in Gаrdеn, Cаlifоrniа. The poor soul was so confused that he never looked a single person in the eye. Instead, he spent his days staring at the floor of his kennel. Devastated and heartbroken, Maveric couldn’t realize what was going on. From having a loving home, he was now surrounded by people whom he had never seen before.

One day, a family visited the shelter. Upon hearing Maveric’s story, they decided to give him a home again.

However, when the time came for him to leave the shelter, this sweet dog was trembling with fear. He was uncertain where he was going. He probably thought he was in trouble and was untrustworthy.

However, as he received many pets on the head and a new leash, he somehow knew he was wrong.

Once at the parking lot, he realized those people were there to rescue him and give him a new life. In the moments that followed, Maveric sat at the back seat of the truck. All of a sudden, his fear faded away. He felt safe once again.

Maverick never knew what future held for him until finally the day of his adoption came.
