Senior Dog Is Saved From Euthanasia After Returning To The Shelter She Was Adopted From 12 Years Earlier

I believe that most people dream of owning a dog while growing up because dogs play a significant role in the media we consume as children. Many of us long for the unconditional love and companionship that only an animal can provide, and dogs excel at showing their love for their humans.

The saddest aspect of it all is that we eventually have to say goodbye to our furry friends. If you asked a dog owner for one wish, they would likely choose for dogs never to grow old so they would never have to say goodbye.

Unfortunately, there are still people who decide that their dog's time has run out long before it actually has. They offer various excuses for their decision, such as claiming that the dog is misbehaving or that they are becoming too difficult to manage as they age.

These excuses are plentiful, but those who truly love their dogs are unwilling to accept any of these half-hearted reasons for deciding to put down their beloved furry companions.

The story we have for you today is about Netty, who was returned to the same shelter from which she was adopted, but this time, they requested that the dog be euthanized.

The veterinarians at the shelter recognized that there was still life in Netty, and they decided to put her up for adoption so she could find a new home to spend her remaining days with a family that truly deserves her.

Scroll down to see the full story of Netty and discover whether she found a new chance at a loving family.

Netty is a 15-year-old mixed pit bull who was brought back to the shelter she was adopted from, but this time with a different intention.

This is both a heartbreaking and heartwarming story in one. It's hard to imagine that someone would so heartlessly abandon their dog after 12 long years of unconditional love that the dog provided to her family.

Don't give up on your dog just because it's getting older; it's the least they deserve during their final days on this planet. Remember that.
