Today is a hard day. 💔
This sweet boy showed up at Okihi about a month and a half ago, and I’ve spent that time earning his trust, getting to know him, calling rescues, reaching out to people and sharing his story in hopes of finding him somewhere safe to land.
Unfortunately, we’ve run out of options.
Okihi works with children, interns and the public, and I simply can’t have a loose dog on the property. We are also at our capacity with animals and cannot responsibly take on another one.
And this one hurts, because he is SUCH a good dog.
He is incredibly smart and picks up commands almost immediately. He’s devoted, wants to stay right beside you, and has been wonderful walking with me around the property. He’s young, beautiful, energetic and would make an incredible companion for someone who loves the outdoors, has some space, or just wants a loyal adventure buddy.
Today I have to surrender him to the SPCA on Fruitvale. A kill shelter and it doesn’t feel good.
I really wanted to be the person who could give him his happy ending, but sometimes helping an animal also means admitting when you can’t be that person.
So I’m asking for one last thing: please share him today. ❤️
Maybe his person is one share away from seeing him.
He deserves the chance to be someone’s very best dog.
