Ritter, a 4-year-old American Bulldog, found himself at the Humane Society for Hamilton County in Indiana after his family faced some tough circumstances. With their home gone and no other choice, they made the difficult decision to surrender Ritter.
In a recent post shared by the animal shelter, Ritter is depicted as being devastated by the recent turn of events. He longs for his family and struggles to understand why he is stuck in this cold shelter. Sorrow and despair have consumed him, causing him to hang his head in sadness and avoid making eye contact. This situation is reminiscent of Stormy the Pit Bull, who was abandoned by her family to accommodate their growing family. Like Ritter, Stormy also faced depression and was at risk of being euthanized at the shelter.
In Ritter’s situation, a photo posted by the shelter quickly gained popularity, reaching over 3000 shares. This led to a wonderful opportunity for Ritter, as a kind family stepped up to adopt him!
His new family is dedicated to healing his heart with affection and attention, ensuring he feels secure and valued once again. Stay strong, Ritter, things will get better!
