Those who work at the shelter have seen many animals with different stories when the owners bring them to the shelter.
Of course, not everything the owners say is true. The truth is that many animals will end up in shelters where they spend their days until the right family for them comes along.
Gumby, a beautiful and loving dog, was taken to a Charleston, South Carolina, shelter during the Fall of 2014. The moment they saw him, the shelter staff knew it would be a long until Gumpy found his forever home because he was playful and lovable. Well, they were right.
Just a few days at the place, someone asked to adopt him. However, they took him back just three days later.
This happened twice and it caused Gumy to return to the shelter on his own.
This was sort of a mystery for those working at the shelter, but they soon realized there was a reason why Gumpy didn’t want to leave the shelter. He believed it was his home and he felt even though he was needed there.
And that was true. Whenever a new dog walked through the shelter doors, Gumpy was there to greet them with tremendous empathy, and he would do everything he could to make the newly arrived dogs feel more at home, as they quite often arrived distressed.
Gumpy has become a very important animal for the shelter and for the community. He even took part in a photo shoot with a firefighter to raise money for charity.
We all need someone as lovely and as fascinating as Gumpy in our lives.
