Snaggle-Toothed Pooch Can’t Find A Home – Shelter Team Invents Crafty Plan To Get Him Adopted

When Dots the dog first arrived at the shelter, he was a mere puppy. Just 6 months old.

Volunteers at the SPCA of Brevard in Titusville, Florida figured someone would be along soon to adopt the adorable snaggle-toothed pooch.

After all, he was just a fantastic companion; he was friendly, active, and loyal.

But for some reason, potential adopters kept passing him by … was it the snaggle-tooth look that kept turning people off?

Well, whatever the reason, Dots just couldn’t find his forever home.

In fact, he waited for 3 long years, which officially made Dots the shelter’s longest resident. And that isn’t a title any animal wants to have!

So finally, a few SPCA workers decided they had to give Dots a boost.

The first step was to make him one of their “office dogs” so he could get a break from the kennel. That might cheer him up a little, at least.

The next step was genius; it was basically an adoption marketing plan, designed specifically to get Dots adopted!

They started posting like crazy on Facebook: they put up adorable pics of Dots over and over again, hoping someone out there would notice, and fall in love…

And it didn’t take long for that to happen!

When a woman named Kristy stumbled on to the pics, she quickly forwarded them to her friend Liz Shidler, who was actively looking to become a doggie foster mom.

And though Liz wasn’t 100% on permanent adoption, she took one look at Dot’s pics and immediately wanted to learn more about the homeless pup.

Liz watched some videos starring Dot, and visited the SPCA Facebook page as well. She couldn’t get enough of the shelter’s “oldest” resident!

And finally, she decided that Dots was just perfect for her. As she told iHeartDogs:

“We didn’t even second guess it … we contacted the Brevard SPCA to meet him ASAP. Due to our work schedules I had to go alone to meet him.

The next thing I knew I was leaving there with the newest member of our family!”

Finally, at long last, Dots’ long wait was over! He’d waited over 850 days in the shelter and for the longest time, it seemed like he was destined to be alone…

But thanks to some creative folks at the SPCA and Liz Shidler, Dots doesn’t ever have to be alone again! 😀
