Senior Dog Is Saved From Euthanasia After Returning To The Shelter She Was Adopted From 12 Years Earlier
Netty’s story starts with a heartbreakingly familiar kind of betrayal, one that many dog lovers dread. After 12 years with the same family, the senior mixed pit bull was brought back to the shelter where she had originally been adopted, and this time her owners wanted her euthanized.
The Pennsylvania SPCA stepped in, saw that Netty still had plenty of life left, and shared her story in hopes of finding her another home. What happened next turned a grim ending into something much kinder, and it all came down to one person seeing her for what she was.
Netty’s second chance came fast, and her new life is exactly the kind of update people want from a shelter story.
Netty is a 15-year-old mixed pit bull who was brought back to the shelter she was adopted from, but this time with a different intention.
The owners didn't want to hear about any medications or treatments available for their dog.
The Pennsylvania SPCA shared Netty's story on their social media accounts in an attempt to find her a new home.
Not the way to spend her final days.
They did their best to find a new home for Netty.
That post changed everything for Netty.
Amy Kidd saw the post and knew that Netty was the perfect dog for her and her family.
Netty was super excited to meet her new family and didn't hide her enthusiasm.
Thanks to Amy, Netty is living her best life right now.

Not everything is disposable.
Love this story!
She saved the dog instead of giving up on her.
No signs of love after a decade.
Much respect for Amy, the rescuer.
We're all thankful! <3
Giving her what she needed.
Doing the right thing.
Aren't we all??
Man's best friend.
Handle it!
Adopt, don't shop.
This is both a heartbreaking and heartwarming story in one. It's hard to imagine that someone would so heartlessly abandon their dog after 12 long years of unconditional love that the dog provided to her family.
Don't give up on your dog just because it's getting older; it's the least they deserve during their final days on this planet. Remember that.
