Nobody understood why Benji kept getting returned to the shelter after being adopted. It had been 11 times by now and all his owners just kept giving obviously fake and weak excuses. Only when the new trainee decided to take Benji home with her did they find out what was actually wrong with Benji.
And nobody at the shelter could have predicted this…
Stacy was still shaken from the experience as she was driving back to the shelter. Benji was in the backseat sleeping. Stacy felt horrible as she had been so sure she could help this poor dog but now he had to be returned to the shelter for a 12th time. But at least they now knew why…
Stacy had called ahead and there were 3 other employees waiting for her and Benji to arrive. They were obviously disappointed that the adoption had not worked out, but they were also extremely curious as to the reason for it as now they would finally get an honest answer.
11 times Benji had been returned to the shelter always with an excuse, buty they knew that Stacy would tell them the truth. But they would find out that they were not ready for the truth…
So why was Benjij returned to the Shelter 11 times? What was wrong with this poor dog and could they fix it?
By this point Benji had been at the animal shelter for 1,5 years. He was barely a puppy anymore but he still very much looked like one and everybody who came to the shetler to pick immediately fell in love with him and wanted to take him home. So why was poor Benji still here?
The truth is that from those 1,5 years, Benji actually didn’t actually spend that much time in shelter. If he was present there it would be at most 2 weeks before he was adopted by somebody. But the thing is that he just kept getting returned by the people who adopted him.
This already started when he was brought into the shelter the first time as only a 3 week old puppy. His first owners had a dog who gave birth to 5 healthy puppies. But they inexplicably decided to keep four of them and only Benji was handed over to the shelter without a word of explanation…
