  Video Shows Puppy When He First Arrived At Shelter — And 432 Days Later [Y]ou could tell how sad he was." Spinach came to Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) as a puppy with a ruptured eye, and if they hadn’t taken him, he would have been put down. Once his eye was removed, the sweet puppy felt so much better, and his new friends hoped he would be adopted very soon.

By  Alana Francis-Crow Published on Oct 10, 2024 at 2:38 PM Krystal Capone and Zachary Hughes were on vacation in Bryson City, North Carolina, when they saw a dog sitting on the side of the road. At first, they assumed he belonged to someone in the neighborhood. Krystal Capone Photography But the next day, they saw him again — miles away from where they’d seen him the day before, all the way down a steep mountain. Thinking he’d somehow escaped from his home, they brought him back to the area they’d originally seen him in. But no one claimed him as their own. So they took him back to their Airbnb and tried to figure out what to do. “He just seemed exhausted,” Capone told The Dodo. “I loved him instantly.” They posted him on local lost dog pages, and several people messaged them saying his previous family had abandoned him just because he c...
