Animal shelters are meant to serve as a temporary refuge for homeless pets, but in practice, they often become permanent homes for these lost souls.
Seminole County Animal Services in Florida, both a dog pound and a shelter, wanted to commemorate one of their pets’ one-year anniversary at the shelter by posting a sad timelapse video where it shows Sophie persistently waiting for her new family to arrive.
Thanks to the video’s virality, a bunch of people came to the shelter to inquire about Sophie, and she was finally adopted.

Sophie, a sweet seven-year-old dog, had spent a long and lonely year at the shelter, patiently waiting for her forever home. Despite her best efforts to capture the attention of passersby, she was consistently overlooked.
Since it was Sophie’s one-year anniversary, the shelter staff decided to document a timelapse video of her daily routine in hopes that this would help her get adopted

As her one-year anniversary at the shelter approached, the staff posted a heart-wrenching time-lapse video to their Facebook page of Sophie eagerly anticipating the arrival of potential adopters in the corridor.

The scheme worked. The virality of Sophie’s video also led to quite a few other dogs finding homes as well. Any kind of publicity that highlights the plight of homeless animals means fewer homeless animals overall, so we are all for it. Have you visited your local animal shelter lately?
