Animals need love, food, and shelter, just like we humans do. One dog thought she’d found all of those things and more when she went home with her family. However, it didn’t turn out to be true.

This family abandoned their dog, Syndey, when she was just three months old.

Sydney went from a loving home to a cold kennel at Carson Animal Shelter in California. She didn’t understand what she did wrong, and she started crying when she realized she’d lost her home.

The worst part of this heartbreaking story is that the family had no specific reason for giving the dog up. They simply didn’t want her anymore.

Some people have no sense of responsibility toward others.

Since the family didn’t bother to look for an adoptive home for Sydney, she currently resides at a kill shelter. She faces a harsh fate – unless she can find a loving family to adopt her.

Sydney is a sweet dog; she is well-mannered and has a good temperament. No one can figure out how these people could give her away.

Sadly, this kind of thing happens all too often. According to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA, “Approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year.” That number is astounding.

There is hope, however. ASPCA reports that about 3.2 million of these pets are adopted each year. The warm hearts of loving pet owners save almost half of the pets who are placed into these shelters.

These numbers prove that when it comes to helping homeless animals, every act of kindness counts.

Thankfully, there’s a happy ending to Sydney’s story.

About a week after arriving at the shelter, Syndey was adopted. A rescue group called Saving Carson Shelter Dogs shared a video of Sydney, which helped draw attention to her plight.

This rescue group does incredible work finding homes for many of the at-risk dogs at this shelter. Thankfully, they were able to find the perfect place for Syndey.

While it’s heartbreaking that Sydney lost her first home, we’re so thankful that she found a new forever home. If you’d like to learn more about Saving Carson Shelter Dogs, check out their Facebook page.
