Saving stray dogs is a very noble cause. But even if they are better off staying in a shelter, it is not the end for them. Many of them have not yet found permanent housing, and it is not always easy for shelter staff to find them families.
In some cases, people are left alone for more than six months due to their age or race. The reason could be anything.
This story tells about an adorable dog who couldn’t find a forever home and spent a long time in a shelter.

One thing many people tend to overlook when thinking about shelters is the effort of the people who work there.
They try to feed and care for each dog. Finding them permanent homes is another matter.
This may seem like an easy task, but it’s really up to your dog. It’s been a really tough time for our dog, Yas Queen.
She spent time in the shelter for weeks, then months, and the shelter staff were not sure if she would find a home.
They were getting a bit discouraged, but they kept trying nevertheless. As of today, she has been in the shelter for over 200 days.
But, what is causing this? Is she aggressive or moody? Does she not like humans? The answer to all three of those is that she is the most well-behaved dog who likes being around people.
A Sad Backstory
Regardless, she is still struggling. But, how did she get in this situation? Well, the story is a bit depressing.
When her previous owner was evicted from his apartment in New York, he simply decided to leave her behind.
The person did not even think of surrendering her to a shelter or maybe finding a new home for her. He chose the cruelest option.
Luckily for her, she was saved by Animal Care Shelters of NYC and given a new opportunity to love again.
However, what happens next is up to the people. She is still currently in the New York shelter and is waiting for someone special to come through the door.
On her adoption page, they wrote: “Yas Queen isn’t just a beauty; she’s also well-mannered.
She promptly relieves herself during walks and takes treats from her handler with impeccable manners. Gentle petting is met with joy, creating a delightful bonding experience.”
While the staff will always love having her positive spirit around, they want her to find a forever home and be with a parent who will cherish every moment with her.
