Surrendered Dog Struggling To Adjust To Noisy Shelter Life Hopes For New Home Soon
Andrea Powell
Shelter life is hard on dogs with the unfamiliar smells, people, loud noises, and a lot of alone time. Staff and volunteers do their best to shower the animals with love and attention, but it doesn't compare to a loving home of their own.
Mack, a five-year-old pit bull, was surrendered to Humane Society of Broward County by his family when they moved away and couldn't take him with. Confused and heartbroken, he now spends his days waiting for someone to rescue him from this strange place.
The shelter posted his story on TikTok to help him find a new family. In the words of Mack, "Everyone is nice here, but I’ll be honest, the other barking dogs are loud and I’m having a hard time adjusting here. My name is Mack and I’m 5-years-old and 70 pounds. The volunteers take me for walks, and I definitely enjoy that! I’m potty-trained and will bark to let you know I have to go out."
@humanebroward Oh Mack ❤️ My family moved and could not take me along so now here I sit all alone. Everyone is nice here, but I’ll be honest, the other barking dogs are loud and I’m having a hard time adjusting here. My name is Mack and I’m 5-years-old and 70 pounds. The volunteers take me for walks, and I definitely enjoy that! I’m potty-trained and will bark to let you know I have to go out. Playing with toys is one of my favorite things, so I hope you’ll get me a good supply. While I’m good with kids, older ones might be best, I don’t want to accidently knock any little ones over. I know a few basic commands and need lots of exercise. If you have a dog at home, a meet and greet is recommended to make sure we like each other.
