Heartbreaking photo shows shelter pit bull “losing hope” after adoptions fall through — still looking for a home

All shelter dogs dream of finding a home of their own, but some dogs get passed over time and time again, and begin to lose hope that they’ll ever get adopted.

That’s what one heartbreaking viral photo showed, as a 3-year-old shelter dog looks devastated after not getting adopted again. But despite everything, there is still hope for this lonely dog…

Rocky, a 3-year-old pit bull, has been in the care of Lollypop Farm, Humane Society of Greater Rochester since October 2022, when his family was evicted from their home and could no longer care for him, according to Newsweek.

Since then, Rocky has been adopted out twice only to be returned to the shelter, along with a few two-week adoption trial periods. Despite these glimmers of hope, Rocky has always ended up back where he started.

“He was most recently returned this past September and has had no luck since. He’s a great dog, but he would thrive in a certain type of home that may be more difficult to find,” communications specialist Lindsay Brewer told Newsweek, explaining that Rocky would do best as the only dog in an adults-only home.

After more than a year of rejection and false starts, Rocky is starting to take things to heart, as evidenced by a heartbreaking photo the shelter posted a few weeks ago.

Rocky sits in his kennel, all alone, hanging his head down as if devastated after another day of being passed over.

MY DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW DIED 2 YEARS AGO — THEN, ONE DAY, MY GRANDKIDS SHOUTED, “GRANDMA, LOOK, THAT’S OUR MOM AND DAD!” Recently, my two grandkids and I went to the beach to have fun, as usual. “GRANDMA, LOOK, THAT’S OUR MOM AND DAD!” my grandsons shouted, pointing toward a young couple sitting at a café nearby. My daughter and son-in-law had died two years ago. When I looked at the couple, I nearly fainted, for I immediately recognized my daughter. The man looked different but still bore a striking resemblance to Anthony. I took my grandchildren by the hand and handed them over to my friend Ella, who was sunbathing nearby. I asked her to watch them for an hour, and she agreed. “Don’t go anywhere; you can sunbathe here,” I told my grandchildren. Then, I immediately went back to our previous spot and started to spy on the couple. Soon, they stood up and left. I followed them to see where they lived, as it didn’t feel appropriate to approach them just yet. Meanwhile, my daughter and son-in-law walked to a small cottage covered in grapevines and disappeared behind the fence. Without a second thought, I called the police. Then, I rang the doorbell. ⬇️Continue below
