A Family’s Hopeful Visit
One bright afternoon, a cheerful family with young children arrived at the shelter, eager and hopeful about adopting Rufus. The moment the kids spotted the playful pit bull, their excitement filled the room with laughter and happy squeals. Rufus responded instantly, wagging his tail and soaking up the attention as little hands patted his head. Karen watched quietly from the sidelines, her heart lifting at the sight but also bracing herself, knowing all too well how these joyful moments often ended when it came time to leave.
