Animal shelters across the United States are full of dogs and other animals that want to be taken in forever homes where they will feel loved and comfortable.
Unfortunately, some dogs are overlooked and are the last to be adopted, especially seniors. If you wonder how they end up, most of them are usually euthanized. Most people think that senior dogs can’t be active because of their age. Instead, they want a younger pet but with a fully-formed personality that will fit their lifestyle.
Meet Bear, the 16-year-old senior dog, who suffers from several health problems and has a matted fur. He looked like he hadn’t eaten in days or even weeks. All of this together stood on the way of his adoption. Nobody was interested to adopt the poor creature that resembled a skeleton.
