After 3 Years With Zero Interest, Shelter Forced To Consider Euthanizing Dog

Fairfield, CT – A dog is facing a premature end to his life through no fault of his own. And for that matter, through no fault of the organization tasked with caring for him for the past three years. Three years of absolutely NOBODY showing interest in giving the dog a home.

On Thursday morning, BARC CT posted a photo of the dog named Leo, writing:

After three excruciating years of begging and pleading this dog has remained homeless, without a family. We have tried everything. We spared no effort, cost, or amount of time. But after three years, Leo has become so depressed living this way that we’ve been advised it might be best to put him at rest. Yes, that means euthanasia.

Explaining why euthanasia is even being considered:

Living a life locked up in a cage without proper love or care or stability is the opposite of rescue. Living that way for over 36 long, lonely months and 27,000 hours of near solitary confinement is simply cruel. Could you live this way? More importantly, could you, in good conscience, sit by and watch someone suffer in this way?

Adding:

The truth is, there is no end is sight for the suffering for Leo because not a single soul in the last three years has wanted to adopt this dog. Why? Hes got the trifecta: He’s got all black fur. He’s a Pitty. He loves his humans but is terrified of other dogs because he was attacked by accident at a young age. As a result, he cannot be with other dogs.

The rescue agency said:

-Leo is about 5 years old
-Healthy
-Fixed and all that stuff, of course
-Sweet (oh, so sweet and affectionately)
-Great with kids (we only permit older kids tho per standard policy)
– He’s professionally trained by one of the top trainers in the county and comes with lifetime training with that trainer.

The group writes:

If you have no other pets in your home, experience with large breed, or experience with balanced training or eager to learn and you can be remain committed to saving this poor dogs life, please apply today. BARC-CT.org/adoption. There is no time left. We will not allow him to suffer as is.
