It’s every shelter dog’s dream to find their very own forever home, but it can take some longer than others: some dogs, for no fault of their own, spend months or even years waiting in shelters.
Like Mitch, a senior treeing walker coonhound who spent 7 years waiting for a home, becoming his shelter’s longest resident.
But now after years of waiting, this sweet senior dog has finally found a family.
Mitch arrived at the Cashiers-Highland Humane Society in 2016, brought in as a stray, and though the shelter described him as a “friendly, low-maintenance boy who loves naps,” he was always passed over by adopters.
After six years with no success, the shelter posted a video of Mitch on TikTok, hoping that someone would finally give this now-senior dog the home he deserves.
“Mitch is our longest term resident, and we’re all hoping this sweet boy finds a warm safe home to spend his senior years in,” the humane society wrote.
