Major’s family was expected to arrive and pick him up, but they never showed, according to a Facebook post shared by the Humane Society for Hamilton County.
Since then, Major had been filled with stress after spending time in his kennel and his evenings were never silent as he sat in his room crying “endlessly,” the post continued.
The post showing a sorrowful Major garnered more than 260,000 views. The hope was for staff to help find him a loving family, preferably without cats.
Major’s tears have ceased, and the pup has finally found that loving family.
