    Please Share Dumplin' — He Still Hasn't Had a Single Inquiry

    FacebookWhatsApp

    We genuinely don't understand how Dumplin' became the longest-waiting resident at the shelter. And now that he's safe with The Comeback Pack, we understand it even less — because somehow, this incredible boy still hasn't had a single inquiry.

    Dumplin' is the kind of dog people say they're looking for: sweet, smart, house trained, great with other dogs, good with kids, and he even lives with cats. He's blossomed into the happiest, silliest boy since leaving the shelter.

    He spent far too long waiting behind kennel bars. Now he's safe and loved in a foster home — but he's still waiting for someone to finally choose him.

    Maybe Dumplin' isn't the dog who immediately jumps off the screen. Maybe being a big black dog means people scroll past him a little too quickly. But spend five minutes with him and you'll understand why we love him so much. He deserves more than being safe — he deserves to belong.

    Can't adopt him yourself? Please share his story. His person might simply not have seen him yet.

    The Comeback Pack is located in Murrieta, CA. Apply to adopt Dumplin' at thecomebackpack.org.
