149 days. That's how long Ada has been waiting.
At 8½ years old, this sweet senior has watched countless dogs come and go while she remains behind. We've shared her story again and again, hoping the right person would see what we see every single day.
But here's something we want everyone to know: We haven't given up on Ada.
Not for a second.
Behind the scenes, our behavior team has spent months learning alongside her, working patiently to understand how her blindness shapes the way she experiences the world. Every success, every setback, every tiny breakthrough has taught us something new.
And we have good news. Ada doesn't have to be the only dog in the home after all.
With a patient family, understanding canine companions willing to wear a bell, and slow, thoughtful introductions, Ada can learn to feel safe sharing her home. It takes work. It takes compassion. It takes people who understand that a blind dog can be startled when someone sneaks up on her - but who are willing to help her navigate those moments instead of giving up.
Because we're certainly not giving up.
Ada has her Halo mobility aid. She has a team that loves her fiercely. She has her foster homes, that helped us learn so much more about Ada than we ever could have hoped in the shelter. She has medical support, behavioral support, and people rooting for her every single day.
What she doesn't have is the one thing she wants most. A home.
A family willing to see past her age. Past her disability. A family who understands that this sweet old lady still gets the zoomies, still loves enrichment, still deserves adventures, and still has so much life left to live.
149 days is a long time to wait, but we believe Ada's story isn't over yet.
We still believe her person is out there.
And we hope Greenville believes that too. 💚
