A rescue dog is now said to spend his days staring at a blank wall after his would-be adoptees pulled out at the last minute. | |
Living in animal rescue shelter ACCT in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, since he was brought in as a stray, the 58lb dog was finally due to be rescued. | |
But, at the last minute, his new family pulled out of the deal and March was taken back to the shelter. | |
Since then, March has spent his days facing the grey wall in his kennel, and interest in him has sharply declined. | |
He is now said to be getting sick with sadness. | |
Fox News reporter Dawn Timmeney posted on Facebook: “This boy thought he was about to embark on a better life, only to be returned to the scary Philadelphia city shelter. | |
“Sadly, he has barely gotten any notice, and he is getting depressed and sick now. | “Sadly, he has barely gotten any notice, and he is getting depressed and sick now. |
