A lovable old pit bull named Capone saw everyone around him get a forever home. Instead of being taken out of his kennel and placed somewhere where he would feel safe and loved, he was ignored or put back in his kennel after a brief encounter. All his shelter friends were adopted and left the shelter one by one. Until Capone was the only one.
,,He lost a lot of weight because he no longer had the appetite he had at home.” says Quinn. It was very difficult to get him to eat. We had to coax him with treats and different types of wet food every day. Everyone could see that Capone had lost not only his appetite, but also a part of who he was.
,,The Capone we met in 2017 and the Capone we met in 2018 were two different dogs.” Quinn said. ,,After he was abandoned the second time, he seemed to choose his friends as if he was really betrayed. He became very attached to us, the shelter staff.” Quinn added. Because Capone was having problems with the other dog in his future home, shelter staff wanted to place him in a home where he would be the only dog. The project turned out to be more difficult than expected.
