The common desire of all homeless dogs is to be reunited with their owners and to love them above all else. The loving embrace of their parents becomes their home. These adorable creatures deserve to find happiness and leave their dangerous lives on the streets.

The next story is about his one of the many stray dogs, Representative, who constantly wanders the city, hoping to find someone who will truly love and care for him. Her search for love and kindness led her to Off the Grid Animal Shelter, a nonprofit animal shelter in Texas. The dog was sad and scared, but he mustered up the courage to walk through the sanctuary’s doors.

As soon as the dogs at the sanctuary saw him, they started barking. When sanctuary founder Bionca Smith looked out her window, she saw a dog she had never seen before. He waited at the door hoping someone would help him.

Smith quickly approached him. The first thing she noticed was the sad look on his face. Since Mr. Smith is a large dog, he was a little wary at first and didn’t know how to react.

“I could tell he was looking for help, but his face was a little intimidating to me for a brief moment. I could’ve been afraid he’d bite me. He could’ve been afraid I’d hurt him, but because of the connection that comes with being at the right place at the right time … when you know, you know,” Smith wrote on Instagram.

Smith felt in her heart that she could trust this pup, and she started talking to him in a gentle voice, trying to encourage him to approach her. The canine, later named Deputy, felt an instant connection to Smith and he walked over to her with his tail wagging.

Her heart melted when the pooch held out his paw, asking for help. She took his paw and stroked it tenderly, feeling honored that he trusted her. The doggo knew that he had come to the right place. 

With his endearing gesture and the sad look in his eyes, Deputy stole Smith’s heart. She welcomed him to the sanctuary and showed him around.

Since Deputy was a stray, he needed to start his quarantine before being introduced to the other dogs. However, there was a special pup who just couldn’t wait to meet him and say “Hi”.

“Kumo is our guardian dog. [He’s] the alpha of our pack and the friendliest [dog] ever. Before Deputy can enter, they must meet before quarantine,” Smith wrote in the Instagram video.

As soon as Kumo saw Deputy approaching, he extended his paw through the fence. He wanted to let Deputy know that he was welcome to the sanctuary.

Feeling Safe And Loved At The Sanctuary

After completing his quarantine, Deputy was introduced to the other residents who were happy to meet him. The pup instantly fit in with them.

Deputy feels free and he loves sprinting with his new doggy friends. The affectionate canine loves his rescuer. He enjoys snuggling with her and giving her sweet hugs.

He looks like a different canine. There is not a trace of sadness on his beautiful face. His eyes now sparkle with joy. The safety and love he received at the Texas sanctuary made him happy and confident.

I have no doubt that Deputy would soon find a loving home and wonderful pawrents who would love him just like he deserves.
