Every dog and cat deserves a loving family and a chance at life. There are millions of dogs and cats in shelters waiting for someone to come in and choose them. However, some are on a time clock which is known as ‘death row’ at shelters. Each of those pets has a certain date that they need to be adopted or the shelter will .e.uthanize them.
Meet Mocha, a one-year-old Pitbull mix, who was .dumped at Rowan County Animal Shelter in Salisbury, North Carolina. She was sᴜʀʀᴇɴᴅᴇʀᴇᴅ with another dog by her ʜᴇᴀʀᴛʟᴇss owner, through no fault of her own. The shelter set a date of November 1 for Mocha and if she were not adopted by then she would be ᴇᴜ.ᴛʜᴀɴɪᴢᴇᴅ.
“You know, every day we deal with .cruelty done by humans. This sweet girl broke my heart. Owner surrender at that. She is a skeleton, covered in f.leas, she shakes constantly and doesn’t even want to get up to walk. Talk about a broken soul. Some days I hate humans so much. Hang in there Mocha baby. She’s seen so much evil in just her 1 year of life,” wrote Albina.
Right after she left the shelter, she managed to run away. But thankfully Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Control found her just a few hours later and she is now back at her foster home, safe and out of danger. Although she is still very timid, being out of the shelter will hopefully help her warm up to people and flourish. She had a ʜᴏʀʀɪʙʟᴇ first year of life, but she will soon learn that not all humans are bad.
One of the shelter’s volunteers, Albina Albiie Chanel, wanted to show Mocha that not all humans are bad. She was heartbroken at the state Mocha was in and wanted to give her a fighting chance at finding a family.
“You know, every day we ᴅᴇ.ᴀʟ with ᴄ.ʀᴜᴇ.ʟty and ᴇ.ᴠ.ɪʟ done by humans. This sweet girl broke my heart. Talk about a broken soul. Some days I hate humans so much. Hang in there Mocha baby. She’s seen so much evil in just her 1 year of life,” wrote Albina.
