I'm pretty sure something similar to this has happened a few times at Toronto Animal Services.
"The story of the film is an exaggerated account of how I eventually found my rescue dog Noah, but it still reflects a bit of the reality I faced when I was looking to adopt a shelter dog," said Quinto.
Rest of Quinto's quote here.
This was cute! It reminded me of when I was waiting for my pup! I would go and sit at the dog park and dream! My husband said it was creepy!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm crying, remembering my sweet dog.
ReplyDeleteAha! I wasn't the only one watching wistfully at the dog park....I went through a very similar experience (less dramatized) with the multiple adoption application process.
ReplyDeleteThe shelter I went to did allow visits with the dogs, it helped to keep them socialized, and they tried to determine who the best applicant was. After 4 separate attempts I ended up going to a very reputable breeder (basically if you lived in the country, you got to adopt). I did end up volunteering at the same shelter later, so that at least in future when I adopt my next dog I will be at the top of the list.
Sweet film. I love that he didn't give up on loving a dog and chose another.
ReplyDeleteLoved it and shared!
ReplyDeleteGreat video. And nice to read that both of the Rizzos were also adopted in real life.
