UPDATE: SOOKIE GOT A FOREVER HOME
Thank God...
Ditto
Yayyy I'm happy for sookie. Hope she has a good home now, and gets pampered time to time.
Well it's about damn time! That beautiful girl deserves to be loved.
I have mixed feelings about this. I'm happy she get to experience having a home, a family for two days. But taking it away from her too soon is just heartbreaking. I feel like you gave a kid a candy bar and then took it away and eat it in front of her 😢
That's how I was feeling I hope she finds a home
Agreed. Horrible idea.
Well if you feel so bad about the poor pittie, why don't you adopt her?
The whole point of making the video is to post it on here so that she’s pretty much instantly adopted. Lol. How can you miss the point like that
@@johncarolina4950 Yass, you got it!
love those natural un-cropped ears
They're so adorable...
@@MsPhillyG whats with the sarcasm
@@talaaljaber5375 there isn't any???
@@wolfdogangel Those are uncropped ears they are cropped when they are really short and stick straight up all the time.
@@talaaljaber5375 If you got sarcasm from "they're so adorable" I feel really sorry for you 😭?! Some people read wayyyyy too much into comments obviously you're some people. Nobody was saying it was a bad thing but perhaps English isn't your first language 🤷😂.
It’s kind of unfair to take her from the shelter, show her what a home is like, and then return her. I understand the intentions weren’t cruel, but I feel so bad for her. Really hoping they don’t bring her back, but instead find a foster home.
Yeah, I felt the same way.😔😔 Let's hope she gets adopted soon ☺️☺️
That is true its like giving her false hope that she gets a nice home for once
OMG I couldn't agree with you more. Thats like teasing the poor thing. I've owned pitts most of my life and know how much they love to be loved. But to be loved and left is even sadder. Shes so adorable and sweet. You can train her to be better with dogs especially knowing she has BEEN IN A CAGE most of her life. Just sad =(
@Tilly Too well that's great, maybe someone else would love to train her. Shes an awesome dog.
Exactly. It isn't kind. It seems really cruel. Poor pup. :(
Please do a follow up on her.😊 And let us know how she is.
Yeah I really wanna know that she got a forever home :)
You can actually check out the link in description to stay updated :) as of now not adopted yet!
Thanks for letting me know 👍🙂
How the f**k is the beautiful baby not adopted yet!? This shelter is about 20 mins from me but I already have a pit that's not great with other dogs otherwise I would love to adopt her. I pray she gets a loving forever home SOON! I'm not religious but God bless the people that adopt her and thank you!
She's home! This cute doggo has been adopted, I just saw on Instagram 🎉
7 years is awful. she's gorgeous. whatever happened to her, she just needs socialising with other dogs. a bit of time and patience, is all. if this vid doesnt get her adopted...
She's already got several people interested so hopefully she'll find her perfect forever home very soon
Dogs have a critical socialization period when they are young and she is well past it. It may be too late for proper socialization, but doesn't mean she can't find a good home anyway.
@@DonaBologna that doesnt exist, Ive adopted many older dogs with social problems.The one I have now being the worst to get her anxiety to go away, shes a big pitlab. But with enough time and patients you realize there is nothing as a broken dog
DonaBologna Omg. It’s not too late. Trust me. I’ve taken older aggressive’s and simply reactive’s (which she is) and turned them around. A lot of Bullies are DA from, like you said- prior bad experiences, like getting attacked and it is in their DNA/heritage. They were once bull baiters, after all.
Kyle S THANK YOU! Finally someone who knows. Geez.
Lets do this together people! Tag this video to all your friends everywhere as much as you can! Sookie needs our help, she needs furrever home! Hang on there girl, we got you!
Also for them not to worry about living too far away. There are organizations that help unite shelter dogs to their new families when there’s a bit of a distance. If someone is serious about taking her and the only thing holding them back is the miles, they need to look into finding an organization that can help with that. Or start a gofundme campaign to raise money for such a trek. And vlog the journey (and after) for TH-cam. That would one wonderful story that people would love to follow!! Just my two cents.
I just called to try and adopt her and they are giving me a whole bunch of restrictions. It's almost seems like they don't want her to find a forever home
@@nancyvagias8942 what restrictions, am curious
@@celestewatson4874 Well I'm in chicago and I wanted to fly the dog home, not in cargo, I would buy an actual seat on the plane for the dog and they told me no flying, Then I said I would be happy to make the drive then they started rambling about it being too long of a trip which I found weird. The lady also referred to Sookie as her office dog so it doesn't seem like they really want her to find a home
@@nancyvagias8942 I hope you don't give up. That's probably what they want (maybe subconsciously). I think it's so sad what this couple did, and they don't even seem to realize it. Taking her out for two days just to see what's wrong!!!! Then taking her back. She must have such a sense of failure after that. Cruel.
Really hope they don’t bring her back after the weekend. Even just to foster her if they can’t adopt, but don’t take an animal home from the shelter only to bring it back. That’s cruel.
They explained why they can't keep her. She's dog aggressive and they already have their own dog that they had to relocate for the weekend while they had her. They did a good thing here. They brought attention to a dog that needs to be adopted and what sort of home she's going to need.
Cruel is not taking her out of the shelter AT ALL. How dare you judge these people who are making a difference in the lives of animals that most of society doesn't even know or care about.
Not cruel at all, more than what anybody else has done in years, maybe all the commentors should take turns for the week , I would consider your comment worth something instead of your false concern.
She’s not Dog aggressive. My Dog is exactly the same way on a leash. She just wants to sniff the other dog and the sooner they figure this out the sooner people will realize. Oh yeah my Dog could pass for her pup He is 5 years old now.
@@Americanblood76 That's more than 'just wanting to sniff'. She's a good dog and with the proper training and in the proper environment, she should do fine.
I think the main point of the video was to showcase how incredibly cute and sweet Sookie is, and how well she can fit into her future family’s life. From what I understand, it worked perfectly- someone updated that Instagram feed says she’s been adopted. Thanks, guys!:) Love to all!❤️
I prayer this baby gets a forever home full of love, happiness and joy really soon
don't you mean fome? o.o
@@Julie-xo NO
I really hope giving her airplay gets her adopted, but this couple needs to really think about what they’re doing. To bring this pup home and love and cuddle it for a weekend, letting it think it’s found a home, only to then bring it back to the shelter, is rather unfeeling. It’s about the pup, not about the couple trying to “feel good” about themselves.
I agree totally, imagine the poor dog's feelings of confusion and rejection, notice they didn't show any footage of her being returned to the shelter.
I totally agree. The whole video was self-serving in nature. How I wish I could adopt that sweet girl. Seven year??!! That's a long time for that beautiful baby to be without a furever home.
Wow... i don't even know what to say to the four of you. The word "moralizer" was invented for you.
In the main I agree, with the codicil that ultimately their goal is to publicize the fact that this dog needs and deserves a good home. So sad that this doggo with all her wonderful traits has that one flaw that keeps her from getting a loving home. The aggressive behavior towards other dogs has problems beyond just not being able to have another dog in the household, but the liability of the dog causing harm to another dog while out on a walk has to be considered. Hope someone has a solution for this otherwise very sweet doggo.
Have y’all physically seen what’s it like at the shelter? There’s a reason why this program exist. Programs like this, what the couple is doing in this video, has helped dogs get adopted due to exposure or even working with the dog to get out of their shells after their ex-owners decided to abandon them. Getting them out for a day or weekend, is a lot better then them being cooped up 24 hours for 7 days but that’s just my opinion.
Ok, really quick to dispell the myth that a scared dog can't go into a home with other dogs; Yes, it is hard, but usually trauma is what caused their agression in the first place. With patience, love and slowly growing interactions, every dog can be resocialised to be kinder to other dogs
Thanks I said the say thing. Train her if you really want her, not tease with her fake happiness
You can’t give dogs therapy sessions. Sometimes that aggression does not diminish.
Sadly not "every dog". Maybe many dogs but not all.
strafer You absolutely can give dogs therapy sessions. How do you think most of the Michael Vick dogs were rehabilitated? Or any other dog with deep rooted behavioral problems? Through many therapy sessions of slowly working with the dog and understanding their fear, aggression, etc. I think this sweet girl very much deserves a chance at getting to the core of her problems because regardless if she is adopted into a one dog home she will still have times where other dogs are involved and she needs to work through that aggression.
CocoaAndTea She at least deserves a chance of rehabilitation. You never know until you try.
I love that they gave her a wonderful weekend but then to take her back to the shelter and never see her again.??!! She must be so confused and sad; wondering why she wasn’t good enough to keep. Tears again first thing in the morning Dodo, dang it!
And just not make this video? They had to so that people can see what she'd be like in a loving home environment.
They’re helping her get adopted
Celine Love She doesn’t understand that; all she knows is they brought her back to the shelter after the weekend was over.
Michelle Gilbert I acknowledged that but she doesn’t know that.
It is sad, of course, but if it helps her get adopted sooner then it's worth it.
There is sooo many dogs and animals in shelter waiting for someone to rescue them. Please, let's help them as much as we can 🙏
I found the apartment that takes dogs and I'll adapt the shelter dog soon! Yes, there are way too many dogs that needing loving home. Please visit local shelter ☺
@@yumiesasaki2801 l was hoping to see that someone is on the attack to save those babies, and yes there it is! You have no idea how l am happy right now!
Awwwwww, what a sweetie. I pray she finds a forever home just for herself soon.
I'm happy that they are people who adopt senior dogs. Most people want puppies but older dogs still puppies at heart.
PLEASE SOMEONE WONDERFUL. ADOPT HER!!! I had preconceptions about pits too. BUT I adopted our precious dog, who is now my best friend, and after DNA testing discovered she is almost 40% pit and I now TOTALLY LOVE THIS BREED. SO LOYAL AND LOVING. Please don't let the press (who pounces on any bad pit stories (ignoring tons of others)) create your perception of these WONDERFUL, SWEET AS CAN BE, DOGS. As we have a dog already, and this sweetie needing adoption is not good around other dogs for whatever reason, we can't take her :( Do yourself a favor and adopt your new best friend and you will not regret it. ♡
I would bet, with the right trainer, she could learn to get along with other dogs. She is adorable.
This is called “day foster”. Many shelters ask volunteers to take the dog out for a day or overnight to help them decompress so when they go back they are more adoptable.
People this video is suppose to motivate you to adopt..The couple clearly wanted to show you that these shelter dogs are highly adoptable animals..this were the purpose of the video..so lets get this dog adopted and in a permanent posotion..great job by this couple
Who wouldn't want her?just one look at her.and I'd love to have her.
Can we all just stop whinging about how we think this is cruel & unfair to take her back to the shelter.. instead SHARE this on all your social media & help get this girl adopted 😀😀
I would love her!!!
(Not just for the weekend) 💕
I have never commented on a TH-cam video before, but felt strongly enough about this to leave a comment. I am from the UK where we have a very popular breed called the Staffordshire Bull Terrier (bull breed). I am an owner of one of these beautiful dogs. I also worked for our national animal rescue charity. I can tell you from experience as an owner and former rehoming centre employee, no matter what the breed, no matter what the previous back story, no matter what the breed characteristics, many dogs can be successfully rehabilitated into a forever loving home. It takes love, patience, determination and above all the ‘right’ person/s to match the dog. As a collective group of animals lovers, please can we send positive vibrations/thoughts to this beautiful girl to help her find a forever home. The Dodo....... Please, please keep us updated on her progress!!!!!
This is probably the worst video I’ve seen put out by Dodo.. “So this episode/video, we’re going to show u a dog that’s been in doggie jail for 7 years and we’re going to tease her with what it’s like to live the happy normal life she deserves, but then put her back in doggie jail” ... I mean what in the actual hell! Are u all running out of stories that actually have happyv endings??!!?! This is aweful
I believe their goal is to get exposure for her and get her a forever home. I truly believe that will now happen because of them.
Exactly my thoughts. Hope she finds a forever home soon. She's so beautiful and gentle 😘🐶
C'mon. The Dodo family needs to help the happy endings sometimes too.
This girl desperately needs a home and a big audience becoming aware can sure help!
I agree to the replies, BUT as big and resourceful as the Dodo is, there could’ve been a much better way to go about this other than toying w her emotions. Can u imagine the drop in her stomach and her heart when she realized that all of that love and attention was now gone?? THAT IS CRUEL!! It’s comparable to removing a child from horrible parents and sending them back after experiencing the good life for a short time. There are more ways to bring awareness than teasing and breaking the heart of these animals.
I agree
***Sookie updates!!!***
In case you missed it, in the video description there were some links including one to an Instagram account dedicated specifically to finding Sookie her forever home. Which, how awesome is THAT?!
But yes, just in case here is a direct quote from adopt_sookie_ny on IG.
"I have been seeing so many negative comments towards the couple who took me home for the weekend, which makes me laugh because those people are literally missing the entire purpose of it. One of them works as an editor with the Dodo, and wanted to help get a needy dog adopted. What better way to do that, then to take said dog home for a weekend foster, get to know her well, document the weekend, create a video, and share it with the Dodo community!? Over two million people have already seen my video, so do you think this was a good thing?? I was not traumatized to return to the shelter, I was very happy to see all my besties. At the shelter, I live in an office with a half a dozen employees who love me and take care of me. I am just fine! And I know my happily ever after is close. So stop bashing the amazing people who opened their home to me for the weekend to get me this exposure, which will ultimately be the reason I'm adopted! I wish everyone would take home a longtimer for the weekend and help get them adopted! Weekend fosters are amazing ways to give dogs a break from shelter life, and gives the shelter more info about how the dog is in a home!"
If you're curious about how Sookie continues to fair, check out that IG from the description. Or just plug in her username that I posted at the beginning and search for her on IG. Heck, here it is again, just in case!

And while you're there, make sure and say hi and be sure to thank the amazing staff (as well as The Dodo) for their bully breed advocacy as well as their dedication to Sookie.
A good friend adopted her and is spoiling her! She is as sweet as you see here in the video. She is cared for and loved so don't worry about her!
Great news-- thank you!! ❤️
Please, please update on this beautiful puppy! Hoping she finds a forever home
We will find this doge a fome.
Also, yes I loved the dog! The poor dog was older then 7..poor thing!
In his name we pray!
For all the critics out there who think this was cruel, you're missing the point. By taking her for the weekend, they gathered valuable info as to her behavior and adoptability. This couple helped get the word out, and now Sookie is adopted. Besides, they already had a dog - they couldn't keep her as Sookie's not dog friendly.
An adorable darling! I hope she found her forever home with a loving family.
So many people in the comments complaining about how this was a bad idea because she got a taste of a loving home and was then taken back to the shelter. Setting aside that the ENTIRE point of this process is to prepare her for a home and bring awareness to her situation, I feel like people aren't considering the fact that if they hadn't taken her for the weekend, she would have spent those days at the shelter... To an animal that lives in a shelter, every day they can experience a home is meaningful to them.
For anyone who would love to rescue this sweet gal, not to worry about living too far away. There are organizations that help unite shelter dogs to their new families when there’s a bit of a distance. If someone is serious about taking her and the only thing holding them back is the miles, they need to look into finding an organization that can help with that. Or start a gofundme campaign to raise money for such a trek. And vlog the journey (and after) for TH-cam. That would one wonderful story that people would love to follow!! Just my two cents.
That's a wonderful idea!! I will give that some serious consideration - especially since I know everyone who has commented on how much they want Sookie to find her forever home (or "fome", as some people say) will want to help!! ❤🐾🐾❤ I absolutely LOVE pitties and have been wanting to adopt one from a shelter!! I've had several pitbulls, if you consider the fact that I've had 3 litters (2 generations) born in my home in the past! They are my most favorite breed, as they are the most loveable, lovING, loyal, friendly, misunderstood 🐕 breeds out there, and I am ALWAYS advocating for them!! Whether it's signing petitions, or informing as many people as I can about just how WONDERFUL "pibbles" are. I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to bring Sookie "FOME" with me, as would my son!!!! However, we live in Ohio and don't have the resources it would take to go pick her up. 😢 So, if she still needs a home, I'm gonna go for it!! Thank you for the terrific ideas on getting around the whole distance thing, and....Wish US Luck!!! 🙏❤🐾🐾❤🙏😊
sunsokr617 you betcha! I hope it works out for you! If not, I hope it works for the dog, regardless.
they showed how sweet she was, this is a good thing to do. maybe she will find her forever home soon.
Isolating a dog does not solve an issue of what an inexperienced handler thinks is dog aggression.
I've had dogs who "hate cats & don't get along with other dogs" all learn to live together. Patience, love & leadership in my situation resulted in a number of dogs and cats coexisting & eventually becoming family. I can only speak from my own experience, but I refused to give up on any of them & the result was that every creature has learned to live with one another harmoniously.
🐾Adopt Sookie!!!🙏🏼 She’s adorable!!! She deserves a furever home! She’ll be a beautiful addition to any family😍💞🐾
Sookie is a true princess , lovely girl ❤️👑❤️
Someone please go get this girl!!!! I have 2 dogs or I would do it ! There has to be someone who just lost their dog or something ! She just needs to be an only child that’s all.
Awww, cutie, I would adopt ya if I didn't already have a dearly beloved, 13 year old Bichon Frise lil lady, who also doesn't like other dogs but is a total sweetie with people! Praying you find your loving forever home asap!!! 👍💯❤💋❤
My shelter does this too-it helps the dogs get out of the shelter environment for little while. It's helped A LOT with adoptions.
Much respect and brother love to the kind hearted man! Thank you and your family for doing such a great deed! Love and peace to all of you and the beautiful pooch.
That dog is very special and I hope he get a FOREVER, loving home !!!😊❤👍
I think Sookie should have been with someone who could foster her. I agree it's cruel to have her for two days and take her back on Monday. I hope she gets adopted. Please provide an update.
She did get adopted
SOMEONE PLEASE ADOPT THIS BEAUTY! I wish I could but I have two tiny dogs😩 Someone please give this beautiful dog the endless and unconditional love and spoiling she deserves!❗️❤️
So, the good news - she's been adopted (per Instagram/other poster). This video, and them taking her out for the weekend - gave her the social exposure she needed to show that she is a great dog! Her dislike of other dogs is likely what kept her there. That can be dealt with in training! I just watched Dodo's video about the Cane Corso who didn't like other dogs - until she got the Best proper training and got over it. Donating specifically for training for dogs like Sookie would be a good thing! Thank God she was at a "no kill" shelter, or she would have been a goner.
This is so kind. I pray this precious baby finds her forever loving home❤️❤️❤️
We have to pray for this little angel to find her own forever home...thank u so much dodo for sharing these heatrwalming stories please keep us updated about Sookie...❤
Please someone give this beautiful baby a home she deserves it so much 💔💔💔💔💔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I, too really wish they would’ve kept her, but they gave her more love than others had been willing to give her so let’s please not judge them. Please share the heck out of this video!
Guys just checked Sookie's insta she got adopted on 9-Sep so in a way this vdo paid off let's just b positive abt it. Not all good things come instantly...she waited 7yrs why r we fighting over 10 days out of which two days she lived like a princess. Good job guys no effort goes vain...😘😘😘
It breaks my heart how she has been in the shelter for 7 years. I really hope that the foster people will actually keep her. My family are looking for a dog but Sookie is too far away from where I live.
I really wish we could adopt her. I would do anything to adopt her but I can’t. But I love you so much Sookie! 💕

Bless you❤️
For all the people saying stuff like "It's cruel to spoil her for the weekend only to return her after" Do you feel like it's cruel to take your kids on vacation? Or to have them stay over at a rich friends place? NO. This is like a vacation for this dog and hopefully a promise to a better future. All thanks to this video.
You guys are unbelievable, she does not get along with other dogs!! They had to send their dogs away to even keep her for the weekend. For those triggered and writing terrible comments....GO ADOPT HER!! 🤦🏾♀️ So glad she even got a taste of what love is, and hopefully someone sees this and will give her the love she and so many other animals deserve! 🙏🏾❤️🙂
To all of you saying "Oh how could they?" Yes I agree it is a little short sighted on their part, really only done to make themselves feel better not all the dog, but they Can't adopt her. Not only do they Have a 10 year old one eyed beagle already, but they are not experienced enough to handle her aggression, making her a danger. They can't give up their own dog, no one could Ever ask them to, and they can't put it in danger with a large dog aggressive dog. Watching them pull her on the end of a badly used choke chain while she was lunging at that other dog with them just going "no! no don't do that!" had me holding my breath and cringing. That is Not how you handle a dog like that, and people that try to just "love it out of them" are the ones having tragic things happen with the dog. They knew they weren't the right place for her, and they were responsible about it even though even They stated they were wondering why they didn't keep her. Reality. She needs an experienced home and now I Hope with all my heart this showcase will find her that home and she gets adopted soon. Update: After looking, this dog stays in the office at the shelter with people, not in a cage all the time, and she has already gotten adoption inquiries now. This experience for her was probably a very good learning one as well. She WILL get adopted from this!
This video deserves a share and this baby deserves a loving home.
I loved seeing her adoption photo on Insta. Thanks for the follow-up for your audience!
Omg I cannot believe no one adopted this beautiful girl for 7 years. I hope she found her forever home.
I wish the shelter or someone can invest in training her to be with other dogs. She needs interaction with other dogs if she ever gets adopted. Always keeping her away from other dogs is not healthy for a quality of life.
Some dogs go great without other dogs and especially this type of breed is very human oriented as they are bred to please their owners commands.
Beniya K no dog deserves to be isolated from his species whether he’s a people person or not. What’s going to happen if an isolated dog like this is ever on the loose and sees another dog? He’ll probably shred him to pieces because no one ever taught him to mingle among other dogs. This is for safety reasons too for other dogs to Invest in his training or maybe you’re a pitbull expert... I don’t know
@@emke9326 I agree with you that resocializing is better but that will take alot of time and maybe money.
Also you cannot just randomly test this out and let other dogs get injured bc another dog needs to get resocialized. I rather have the dog out of the shelter and in a home without other dogs and always on a leash when on a walk than that the dog stays in the shelter.
I hope someone has the courage, time and money to train this dog and otherwise maybe this dog gets to go to a loving family that lives on an isolated farm or something.
Dogs need to be socialized when they are young. They have a critical socialization period and an imprinting period. If that is missed or something bad happens during imprinting they will remember for the rest of their lives. Not all older dogs can be properly socialized.
I'd love to adopt this beautiful baby 😭😭❤ My blessings and thanks go out to the lucky family who adopts her!
This poor sweet pup needs a loving home before she falls into a state of depression,please someone have you got a place in your heart for this sweet girl...
The purpose was to show how she is with people and what they are missing out on. She is sweet and this is the beginnging of her new home coming soon! You will be adopted sweerheart! 🥰😘💜🙏🏼🌸🐶
Awww I hope he finds a home, cute dog 💕❤️
Smiling Samy I’d adopt him he’s so cute
Smiling Samy aww cute
*Wish i can adopt but im just a 11-year old kid*
Bless You Lovely Cute Angel❤️ I Wish You The Best Future And Best Owners And To Make You Always Safe ❤️ love you :D
Same
You're the future & with your beautiful heart, you'll change a life (or lives) & be a light in this world. Bless you & grateful you're in this world (this is from someone who was once too young to adopt, but is now an adult & adopted many "unwanted"... I know when life allows, you will make a difference).
@@user-sr2nc9ge1d Thank you :D
Your parents are lucky to have you so wise and full of love
@@laurafeher9694 💗
If I didn’t have three dogs already I would adopt her in a second. Someone please open your heart and home to this beautiful girl, she’s been in a cage for seven years and she deserves a family!
A beautiful ambassador for the bully breeds. She definitely proves that they are wonderful dogs that can be sweet, happy and fun! 🐾❤️🐾
Hopefully the positive Pit bull nation will get her into a home❤️
Oh I hope Sookie is happy in her forever home. Never saw a dog in a shelter for that long, most her life.😭. She is a senior dog now. Pray whatever years she has are very loved, happy & healthy. God's angel.🤗❤🙏🐾
I pray Sookie finds her forever home where she can receive all the love, hugs, kisses and support she deserves🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Sookie is BEAUTIFUL😍😍 & she deserves to be with a family that loves and cares for her and not be in a shelter for 7 years!! God please send a good family to adopt her soon!🙏🏼🙏🏼
Giving her back just ends up traumatizing her more
Nope it ended up getting her adopted a week later. Now she's happy in her forever home thanks to this video
That's so sad I'll do what I can

Can't put a like on this one. The poor dog doesn't know why her great new people are gone. That said, props to the no kill shelter that has housed and fed this dog for 7 yrs! Donation coming on her behalf
I’ve realized that it’s not the dog at all lol, it’s the human the problem. Some people just don’t realize when they have gold. Thank you for giving her that chance because they are so worth it. ❤️💕
Honestly this is more cruel than anything :/ at least find her a foster home instead of dropping her back in a shelter as if she hadn't already spent 7 years in one.
That just seems cruel to me. Offering her two days of love and freedom then back to a cage. I’m sure they meant well but that is not right
She didn't go back to a cage though. It's on her Twitter, the shelter lets her run around. Plus this kind of thing is actually really good for dogs who are in shelters, gives them a chance to experience and stretch their legs and gives the shelter a better idea of what the personality is like. And makes them a lot more adoptable too. It's like a vacation and while it may seem cruel to bring them back it's crueller to leave them sitting in the cage without a break.
My heart is melting... i really hope Sookie finds a forever home :x. She deserves to have this. She is a wonderfull dog ! Can't understand why people buy shitty things which will serve them of anything...instead of adopt a dog and use all that money to make her happy !
A close friend of mine just lost her dog last year a pit bull and I told her about Sookie and she’s interested! I hope to god she gets a good home even if she doesn’t adopt her.
Please update us if they adopt her!
And thank you for being a part of hopefully finding her a home.
Poor dog spent all that time there to be adopted for a weekend then brought back to her lonely cell 😔 not nice at all
She never was in a lonely cell. She lived in the shelter office with half a dozen stuff taking care of her and loving her. And now after this video, she got a nice forever home.
good way to show what kind of dog it is...
I didn’t like this. It seems so unfair to give love for only a weekend only to be returned. She won’t understand what she did wrong. 😭
This broke my heart to see her so happy, feeling like she belonged, just to be shipped right back to the shelter. I hope she doesnt think she did anything wrong. Ohhh, how sweet and amazing she is.
It’s been a year after the video, I truly wished she had been adopted into a forever loving home.
The fact that she been at the shelter for so Long with other dogs and seeing them adopted may made her anti social.
May she be blessed n showered with love 💗 forever
This is really sad. I don’t think the Dodo should be making it out like these two are great people. They made the poor dog think she has the life, and then they go drop her right back off where she lived for 7 years. The least they could’ve done was help her find a foster home.
Whoever thought it's a good idea (probably the shelter) was misguided.
mikshin Exactly what I was thinking. I have no clue why the shelter would even allow this.
sookie got an awesome home a few days ago!!! check the instagram!!!
I have been waiting and looking for this.......so happy for Sooki and their new owners. love love love this
She was adopted everyone!! Her account is sookie_goes_home
I get why people are saying that taking her home only to bring her back is cruel, but guys, you’re missing the point. They didn’t take her home to keep or even foster her, they took her home so they could make a video showing that she’s a wonderful dog to have in a home with the hope that the perfect future dog-parent for her would see her and fall in love. To show that this dog (and any dog) who has spent an absurdly long time in a shelter environment can be the sweetest, gentlest, goofiest dog when they’re in a loving home-that the shelter environment hasn’t ruined their ability thrive in a different one.
Yes, does seem very unfair to do. Take her back. Dogs thinking, what did I do. I hope they adopted her. Dont leave the public in suspense.
This video is here to help her get adopted. They never counted on adopting her. Just giving her a vacation of sorts and making a video to show people that she's very sweet and needs a home. And the video is this one. Hopefully we get an update in which they show that she got adopted.
@JiuJitsuhairdontcare it's definitely gonna damage her. How would you feel if you were homeless for 7 years, put in a 5 star hotel with friends and then put back on the streets? Or if you lived in a group home for 7 years, someone takes you for a week and then returns you cause you didn't get along with their biological children? As a human you're intellectually capable of reasoning and being rational but all a dog know would is that they were taken out for probably what seemed like forever, only to be returned to the place that probably has smells associated with negative, unhappy, non stimulating experiences. I don't think anyone with sense actually believes that a dog enjoys being caged all day around poop/pee smells and loud anxious barks 24/7. Ask a volunteer just how low a dogs spirit can get after being returned/surrendered. They're not as smart as humans but they're not dumb at all
This was awful they brought her home - gave her all the love and took her back?
It was an exercise to help her get adopted. They proved she is adoptable. Also, she has to be the only dog in the house and the couple have a disabled dog.
If I ever get the time to look after a dog properly , I will get an older pittie that no one else wants ! They are truly special dogs who are full of love and fun !
I would take this sweet girl in a heartbeat! Unfortunately I live in Europe, and (insanely) pitties are banned here. Please, please, let us have an update telling us she got a new family. After this video, they should be standing in line to adopt her. Thank you for doing this for her.
so sad that made me cry that she has to go back😖😖😖
She’ll get more confused by returning her
Everyone calm down now!!! She's been adopted and has a wonderful new home. It's a happy ending for this sweet girl at last!
So happy she was adopted!!!!!! Freedom!!!!!! Congrats to Sookie and the specail family who adopted her.
This is illogical this dog stay in the shelter for 7 years. It just doesn't making any sense.
She can be trained & socialized. You give her a loving home, then take it away... Too sad for me to give a thumbs up.
Suzanne A me to this is very sad. Give her all that love and she thought she is finally home and felt love and gave love and then blindsided that poor baby girl. I understand there intentions, but I see the flip side and the flip side is so much more of a sad experience for the sweetie. I am actually crying over this because I am a dog rescuer and a ASPCA member and this really will screw this baby girl psychologically. So now if she ever is adopted she’s going to feel like it’s only for a moment and she won’t be able to adjust necessarily because she’s going to think that she’s going to be tossed out within a day or two like Tuesdays trash. This is just sooooo horrible to me.
@@davidpollard3522 maybe with other dogs but not Sookie. She didn't live in a kennel or a cage. But in an office with stuff loving her, taking her in walks and overall taking care of her. She was lonely at all. And now she has a forever home and you can see that she's very well acclimated already and is happy where she is. She's well behaved and does normal dog things and her owners are in love
I can not believe that she has been in the shelter for 7 years she is such a beautiful girl I really hope that she will soon get her forever home where she will be loved and spoilt rotten and will not spend the rest of her life in a kennel
im glad to see im not the only one who was upset they showed her that amazing weekend and brought her back to the shelter i couldnt imagine bringing that amzing beautiful pittie anywhere but my home i want all to rescue all the dogs
"We're gonna have the best time... Yeah, girl!" Aww!
Well that sucks, you take her home and spoil her for the weekend, tease her of a life then take her back too the shelter.. Good one 👍
scroll way down to see that sookie has a forever home now 🥳
I love how you guys are hating that the dog wasn't adopted and put back in the shelter. If you were listening, they said they couldn't keep her because she just wasn't good around other dogs and they have another dog too. Sure, they could've trained her but they think that it's just best for her to find a family who has no other pets. They took this pupper out so she could have a taste of what it'll be like when someone finally adopts her. Seven years a long time but she'll get there :)
Bet this pittie is adopted by sunday. Thanks Dodo
I agree! Because these people took the time to share the pups story. I commend them.
