Smiley pup rescued from ‘bad situation’ has been in need of a home — for four years
A very patient and good dog has been waiting for, what seems like, forever for a family to take notice of her genuine happiness and smile and take her home in Maryland.
Angel, a pitt bull mix, was saved from a horrible life and found warmth and love at the SPCA of Anne Arundel County in Annapolis. But while she’s as joyful as she could possibly be, it’s time she finds a good home, the shelter said.
“Angel has officially been waiting for her forever home for 4 years. Yes, you read that right…4 years,” the shelter said in a Dec. 4 Facebook post.
“This almost 7-year-old girl was taken from a bad situation but NEVER lets that get her down. She has earned her spot as a staff and volunteer favorite but somehow has still been waiting a long time for her forever people to come find her.”
Angel has a lot of favorites, including running and hiking and, of course, treats, her pet profile says.
“She won’t turn her nose up to any treat!” her profile says.
Unfortunately, the shelter believes it’s taken her this long to find a home because she needs to be the only pet in a household with no children.
But the long wait hasn’t dimmed Angel’s light.
“Angel has a personality as big as her smile. She’s very smart and sassy in her own little ways. For example, on her walks she will lay down if she isn’t feeling a long walk that day and happily roll around in the grass instead or just paw at you for a treat,” the shelter said in the social media post.
“Most days though, she’s an excellent walking, running and hiking partner and really enjoys her time outside. Angel is SO sweet and loving and has been described as an ‘old soul.’”
