Sade roamed the streets, facing the harsh realities of hunger and loneliness, but she clung to the hope of finding happiness. Fortunately, some Good Samaritans discovered her and were charmed by her cheerful spirit. However, since they traveled frequently, they brought Sade to The Humane Society of Broward County in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she began her new life, hopeful for a second chance at happiness and eager to share her love with her future humans.
The Pup’s Quest For A Home

The shelter staff cared for Sade, showering her with love and encouragement as she awaited a loving family. Sadly, despite her wonderful nature, months went by without any adoption interest. Whenever new adopters visited the shelter, Sade stood by her kennel door, looking at them with hopeful eyes, wishing to be noticed while many puppies garnered attention. This made Sade feel invisible, isolated in her kennel.

Her shelter friends shared a video of Sade watching other dogs leave with their excited new families, leaving her disheartened. She often hung her head low on the floor, wondering how long she would have to wait for her moment in the spotlight.

The shelter was heartbroken as beautiful Sade continued to be overlooked through no fault of her own. They recognized that she would make a fantastic companion, with her love for walks and cuddles. All Sade truly needed was a chance. “Beautiful girl Sade is still waiting for a forever home 🙏 Sadly, this is the reality for many adult dogs 😔 While puppies get adopted quickly, our wonderful adult dogs can wait months to find a family,” shared the Humane Society of Broward County on social media.
Happiness At Last

Then, the shelter dog captured the hearts of many online. Just a few days after the video was shared, Sade found her happily ever after. An incredible family, who met her while volunteering at the shelter, completely fell in love with her.

The joyful dog couldn’t stop smiling when her new family took her to her forever home, where Sade finally began to live the life she deserved. She will never feel unloved or invisible again.

While Sade found her happiness, many wonderful shelter dogs continue to be overlooked in favor of younger pups. I hope that Sade’s inspiring story encourages others to give all shelter dogs, regardless of their age, breed, or size, the chance they deserve.
