Pudding is an adorable young dog who had a difficult start to life. As reported by the RSPCA in Brighton, England, the German Shepherd cross - described as "shy and affectionate" - was brought back to the rescue centre shortly after being adopted.
When she was returned, her new owners chose not to give any reasons for their decision.
This left the shelter's staff and volunteers utterly heartbroken. However, they refused to give up and quickly launched an appeal to find a loving home for her.
"Pudding will need someone who is ready to dedicate time to her training and socialisation, and who has experience with large breeds," the post on TikTok explained.
Following the appeal, a family came forward to adopt little Pudding.
A time to adjust
Sadly, Pudding's story is far from unique. There are many reasons why people return pets. Some families find that the animal has unexpected health issues, while others struggle if the pet is more energetic than they anticipated, or if their lifestyle simply doesn't match the dog's needs.
Giving them a chance to settle
For anyone thinking about adopting, please remember that animals need time to adjust. It is completely normal for it to take several weeks for your new companion to settle in and get used to both you and their new home.
