Campaign ManagerShort Episodes Of Adoption
This dog was about to have a very interesting time with each and every one of the new families that adopted him. His first adoption lasted only three days. He was a little more patient with the next one that decided to take him in. So how long did the next family get to keep him? Fortunately, the second adoption lasted a little longer; six days. Soon enough, this had become a pattern, and initially, no one understood why. What would be the reason for this, otherwise, friendly dog to keep running away from every home that adopts him?
But He Keeps Coming Back
So what happened to the interesting dog in the coming years? Gumby was eventually adopted only to run away to come back to the shelter. He was then taken back to his home but managed to escape once again. What was so wrong with these families that he did not want to stay more than a year with them? It had become a sort of tradition for him to find his way back. The staff at the shelter were completely astonished by this behavior and wanted to get to the bottom of this.
Always Trying To Escape And The Reason Behind It
Gumby was so friendly with the staff and was also very nice to the families when they met him. What makes you think a family would adopt a dog if he was not behaving well with them? He just kept trying to escape every time, which is why the owners got tired of it and brought him back to the shelter. In the end, he would always become a problem of the shelter and so there was finally an explanation to all this. A staff member at the shelter figured out why Gumby was compelled to return. It was all because this little canine had become especially attached to one of the worker at the shelter, the same one who was responsible for the rescue of Gumby. From the looks of it one could say the Gumby was absolutely in love with her rescuers.
An Efficient Helper At The Shelter
It turns out there were a lot of things that this dog was used for. The animal shelter did not expect that Gumby would become so helpful in the working of their shelter. But aside from helping the new arrivals adjust to their life at the shelter, he also helps kitties at the Charleston Animal Society by donating blood, which helps cats fight infection. Who would have thought that the dog that caused so much frustration and trouble would end up becoming such an asset to them?
