Well, life is full of disappointments and we all know that. But, do animals have to go through the same pain of feeling abandoned?
It was Vicente, 3 months old pup’s adaptation day. He was supposed be taken home by new owners from the shelter. But, showing the reality of humans, the new owners never showed up, making Vicente waiting, wearing a tuxedo to welcome the new family.
Diana, a volunteer from the shelter explained, “We rescued Vicente, his siblings, and his mom in Zipaquirá, a town near Bogotá. He’s 3 months old. We have an adoption process with a form and the guy who wanted to adopt him applied and passed all of our requirements. He even went to our shelter and picked Vicente out of his brothers and sisters. He supposedly would pick up Vicente for adoption on the 9th to take him home. So we did what we usually do for adoptions—we gave him a bath and prepared him for his adoption day (with the tiny smoking jacket as they need to be perfect for their special day), but the guy never arrived. He stood him up and then called to cancel the adoption,”

Rescátame Foundation rescued Vicente and kept him until he finds a real, loving home. After the shelter sharing Vicente’s story, people all over the world sent him love and care and many volunteered to adopt him.

The shelter made sure Vicente not to be left out again. “Vicente’s alleged adopter never came for him. When he was ready for a home, bañadito, he canceled his adoption. Then we are asked why we are so rigid with the process, for that reason! Because we don’t want to have the slightest doubt that our furry ones will be in excellent hands for the rest of their lives. If you want to adopt, remember that it is a commitment forever—animals are not things you can have when you feel like having a dog.”

Finally he found a loving home
After finding for a better home, the shelter could find a home again for Vicente. So they released an official statement about the adaptation of Vicente. “Thanks to all interested people—we never thought that your story would get that far. We want to tell you that Vicente has already been adopted by a beautiful family. We still have over 40 furry friends at the foundation waiting for a home. You can write to us via our intern, who will share their adoption forms with requirements.”
Love is everything. Vicente is with his new family happily
