After spending 11 times in an Alabama bird house, a Wisconsin few heard her story, and the dog was finally adopted.
Fiona, a 13- year- older puppy, spent more than a decade at Minute Chance Shelter in Boaz, Alabama, before she was brought to Albert’s Dog Lounge in Wisconsin in hopes of getting happy on her adoption journey.
Albert’s vice chairman, Lindsey Decker, told WMTV 15 the puppies that come to her house are usually elderly, disabled, and at a higher risk of being euthanized due to being overlooked by prospective entrepreneurs.
” She’s only the third dog I’ve ever rescued that has spent almost her entire life in a shelter”, Decker said.
A family who had recently adopted two other dogs from the club stepped forward after a local media outlet broke Fiona’s history.  ,
” I saw her account online and was just so overcome with grief that she was in the house for thus long”, Carrie Saskowski, of Greenfield, said. No one would choose her without realizing how special she was. It was just so terrible to me, and I thought, oh my gosh, could we have the best life up”.
Fiona was joyfully returned to their house, which Decker refers to as a “retirement town.”
” This magnificent gardens, dog sisters, pet parents who will forever care for her,” she said. I really could n’t be happier”, the vice president said.
The top puppy emigrated quickly to her new home.
” I am so cheerful, like my brain is bursting for her”, Decker said. ” I’m thus excited now. that she will live in such a wonderful, permanently home.
” I really hope this kind of opens the door for people to adopt elders and let them know they’re great dogs,” Saskowski continued.
Decker concurred, telling the shop,” It’s just a really compassionate choice to give them the best last few years of their lives.” So, do n’t overlook the old ones”.
