Rescuing Bones was just the beginning of his journey.
With a name reflecting his frail state, he had been found wandering in Texas, desperately waiting for help.
Once at Where The Love Is Rescue in Hamden, Connecticut, he quickly caught the attention of staff and visitors alike with his unique spirit.
Although gaining weight took time and care, Bones finally became strong enough to travel after some healing efforts.
Finding him a safe and loving forever home turned out to be more challenging than anticipated for the shelter team.
A large male Pitbull mix named Bones waited patiently at the rescue for his forever home.
Despite being loving, playful, and kind, many overlooked him due to his size.
The shelter staff recognized that life in a caring home would be far better than the confines of their facility.
They worked tirelessly to help Bones find a family who would appreciate his warm personality.
Volunteers adored him for being friendly and affectionate with everyone he met; he craved closeness and showered people with big kisses.
His favorite toy was a heavy-duty black rubber bone that always accompanied him during playtime.
However, Bones struggled to find the right family though he has a kind donor covering his adoption fee.
Many people visited the rescue but couldn’t see how special he was.
My Forever Home
After nearly three years of waiting, Bones finally found a loving home.
The shelter worked tirelessly to help him connect with potential families.
Day trips provided him with opportunities to socialize, while shopping for toys added fun to his routine.
The shelter celebrated the wonderful news on Facebook, sharing that Adell and his son had adopted Bones earlier this month.
Bones has found joy in his new home, feeling content and at peace.
A heartfelt farewell to the wonderful volunteers marked a significant moment in his life; he stood by the window, beaming with gratitude for their unwavering support during tough times.
Patience proved rewarding as Bones became a shining example of hope and resilience.
Every step along the way tells a tale of determination that ultimately led to this happy ending.
