THE TRAGEDY OF BEING PERFECT: There is something we need to talk about when it comes to dogs in rescue.

Sometimes, the hardest dogs to get adopted are the ones with no tragic story to tell.

Make no mistake, their story may very well be tragic. But when a dog is found as a stray and brought to a shelter, we often have no history. We don’t know where they came from, what their life was like, or what circumstances led them to a shelter.

And sometimes, that lack of a story is exactly what stands between them and a home.

Meet Reggie.

A 7-year-old Shepherd mix who somehow found himself as a stray at a local shelter. He knows his commands. He understands boundaries. He knows how to behave in a home. He is respectful, gentle, incredibly well-mannered and, quite frankly, just about as close to a perfect dog as you could ask for. His adoption bio can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1DDuNpuHVa/?mibextid=wwXIfr

So how does a dog like Reggie end up homeless?

We don’t know.

And perhaps that’s part of the problem. We don’t have a heartbreaking backstory to share. We can’t tell you that he was abandoned after years of neglect, that he was surrendered because of a devastating family crisis, or that he has overcome some unimaginable hardship.

All we can tell you is who he is today.

And apparently, that isn’t enough.

Reggie hasn’t received a SINGLE adoption application.

Think about that for a moment. A beautifully behaved, loving, gentle dog who is already past the puppy stage, who knows how to be a wonderful companion, and who is waiting for someone to give him a chance.

No applications. No one asking to meet him. No one hoping to make him part of their family.

Is it because he’s 7? Is it because he doesn’t have a tragic story? We can’t say for certain. But we do know that dogs like Reggie are sitting in rescue, waiting for someone to look beyond their age and the unknown chapters of their past.

We may never know what happened to Reggie before he came into our care. But we know what he deserves now. A family. A comfortable bed. A person to love and a place where he will never have to wonder where he belongs again.

He doesn’t need a tragic story to deserve a happy ending. He just needs someone to see him.

Please don’t let Reggie be overlooked simply because we can’t tell you how his story began. We would really love to be able to tell you how it ends. Please share Reggie. His happily ever after is still waiting to be written.
