A dog might suffer greatly from spending a prolonged amount of time in a shelter. After months of rejection, many shelters witness dogs who were once joyful and full of hope lose their spirits.\n

Major, an Indiana shelter dog, is one example of this; he has been crying nonstop for more than 260 days after his former owners rejected him. However, his pals at the shelter continue to hope that he will find the ideal family someday. Major, a four-year-old mixed terrier and pitbull, is under the care of Hamilton County Humane Society in Indiana.

Since then, Major has been staying in the shelter. The Humane Society claims that Major was initially in a good mood despite his devastating rejection and that he was a \u201csweet and sensitive\u201d dog who loved to play and his Jolly Ball. Major is described as a \u201ctrue companion with a big heart.\u201d He was referred to by the staff as a gorgeous boy and given the nicknames \u201cMajor hunk\u201d and \u201cMajor heartthrob.\u201d Unfortunately, not everyone was impressed by Major\u2019s positive traits; as the months passed, adopters continued to pass Major by.\n

The staff at the shelter reports that Major\u2019s positive attitude has worsened due to his repeated rejection. According to the humane society, \u201chis spunky personality is dimming\u201d on Facebook. \u201cThis once-jovial boy who loved balls now sits in his room and sobs nonstop.\u201d

He is now in the visiting room at the shelter instead of the kennels, which they claim are stressing him out. However, they are aware that finding Major a permanent home as quickly as possible is the only viable option. Major would thrive in a household without little children or felines.\n

It is recommended to have a meet and greet with him since he gets along well with other dogs but is not always aware of his own power. Major may not fit well with every household, but there must be someone out there who would be the ideal home for this kind and energetic dog. Major\u2019s adoption website says, \u201cIf you\u2019re ready to welcome a loving, strong, and playful friend into your life, this is the one for you.\u201d\n

Major has been in the shelter for a long time, and it\u2019s awful to see him so depressed and lost. We really hope he gets a new home soon! To help us spread the word about this gorgeous puppy, please share this article! \u2764\ufe0f\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
