Meet Jake, an adorable Collie who is only 16 years old. Unfortunately, his previous owners left him at a shelter due to a lack of time for him. It’s a heartbreaking story that can make anyone feel sad. After all, being a.b.a.n.d.o.n.e.d by one’s family after 16 long years is like being treated as an insignificant object. HSCC’s director, Victoria Carmean, witnessed the poor furry creature’s condition firsthand. She mentioned how confused and scared Jake looked while surveying his new surroundings after being left behind.
Carmen shared a heartwarming story about a 16-year-old Collie who was surrendered to their care because his owners no longer had time for him. Despite being a loyal companion, protector, and confidant for most of his life, the poor dog was discarded without a second thought. Carmen and her team did their best to provide Jake with a comfortable and peaceful stay, but they knew that he needed a new home where he could spend his golden years surrounded by other senior dogs like him. After two hours of searching, they finally found Almost Home Dog Rescue of Ohio, who promised to take good care of Jake through their senior dogs program. The rescue team showed Jake so much love and affection, giving him the hope and comfort he needed to heal from his painful past.
In a Facebook post, Carmean passionately expressed why her job means the world to her, which resonated with many people as it was shared over 21,000 times. She emphasized that working at this particular job is not for everyone as it involves dealing with cruelty and irresponsibility towards animals, but for those who work there, they do it to be the voice of those without one. Every day, they make a difference by helping one cute and fuzzy face at a time. They cherish every soft kitty pat and puppy kiss they receive and feel blessed when they can find these animals a new home where they can live in peace.
