Each year, 7.6 million animals enter animal shelters throughout the United States each year, and about 2.7 million of those animals end up being euthanized if they aren’t lucky enough to find a loving family to adopt them and give them a forever home.
When the sweet pit bull mix named March was picked up as a stray and brought to the ACCT Philly dog shelter in Philadelphia, everyone was sure he’d find a perfect family to shower him in love. Soon enough, a family showed interest, and March was about to be free from the cold, lonely kennel.
But just as March was set to be released to his new home, the adoption fell through and he had to be returned to the scary city shelter. March was crushed by the news and became so depressed that he would stare at the wall all day, which only hurt his chance of finding another family.
Luckily, after March’s heartbreaking photo went viral, a rescue organization stepped up to get him out of the shelter, keep him from being euthanized, and to finally help give him the life he deserves with a family who can love him.
