When a dog named Baby was dropped off , it was clear that the pittie was confused. Found wandering the streets of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the year-old pup was suddenly in a new environment, surrounded by strange people — and she didn’t like it.
She longed to find a safe place or go back to. And that’s when P.J. Regan, the shelter’s medical manager, snapped a photo.
“You could tell she was definitely nervous in the new environment and new surroundings,” Ashley Wolo, Griffin Pond Animal Shelter’s executive director, told The Dodo. “That picture of her looking out the window of the door kind of looks as if she was waiting for her owner to come through. It was heartbreaking, to say the least.”
At the shelter, Baby was vetted, dewormed and treated for fleas and ticks. And though she was feeling better, the stress of the kennel was causing her to shut down emotionally.
