Many dogs face a challenging period when they find themselves confined within the walls of a shelter.
While some shelter pups maintain their hope of locating loving homes, others experience stress, leading to health decline.
Brooklyn, a sweet dog, endured one of the hardest phases of her life after her owner surrendered her to a shelter and relocated out of state.
The pup felt lost and heartbroken, pondering why she suddenly lost the only home she had ever known.
The Pup’s Shelter Life
Brooklyn was taken to the Manhattan facility of Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC).
She struggled to adapt to shelter life, missing her owner and longing for familiar faces around her.
The poor dog was under considerable stress, resulting in health issues.
“Brooklyn exhibited stress in the shelter and developed allergic dermatitis, causing her to lose patches of fur,” said Katy Hansen, the marketing and communications director at ACC, in an interview with Newsweek.
To help ease her anxiety in the overpopulated shelter, her caretakers moved Brooklyn to the manager’s office.
Fortunately, Dr. Jay Kuhlman, a board member at ACC, provided Brooklyn with specialized care for her dermatitis. Finally, the pup began her healing journey.
Brooklyn captured the hearts of those at the shelter, who cheered for her recovery and happiness.
Love Helps Her Heal
The ACC Foster Team successfully placed her in a nurturing foster home where she could recuperate and feel at ease.
Her foster family devoted themselves to her well-being, showering Brooklyn with affection and uplifting affirmations.
Away from the loud shelter environment, the pup began her recovery. Feeling safe and cherished, Brooklyn started to show her wonderful personality.
She became the sweetest girl with an endearing smile.
Thanks to her loving foster family, she was able to move past her former life and eagerly look forward to a bright future.
Brooklyn was now on the lookout for her forever home.
Savoring All Her Mom’s Love
A lovely woman named Sayra spotted the charming Brooklyn, and the pup immediately won her heart. She applied to adopt her.
When the shelter staff learned that the delightful pup would be leaving, they could barely contain their joy.
They were thrilled that their beautiful girl had finally found her place in the world.
Brooklyn’s eyes sparkled with happiness and pride upon meeting her forever mom.
The pooch exchanged sweet goodbyes with her friends as she stepped out of the shelter with her new human.
Her joyful expression was a testament to her happiness. She was eager to embark on a new life filled with the joy she had longed for while in the shelter.
The shelter shared a video highlighting Brooklyn on their TikTok account, which included updates from her mother’s perspective.
“It’s hard to believe we have only been together for two weeks. She has slept soundly every night since day one,” said Sayra, Brooklyn’s new mom.
The pup transitioned into her new forever home in Brooklyn, adopting the name Yeobo, a Korean term of endearment.
The lovely canine and her mom developed a strong bond, relishing their time together.
Yeobo, once filled with anxiety and sadness from her shelter experience, has blossomed into a confident pup whose smile shines brighter than ever.
She and her forever mom cherish each other, feeling incredibly grateful that they found one another.
