Waiting Nearly A Year For A Home, Lonely Shelter Dog Is Lost Without His Bucket

I cannot help but remember a quote I once read—“lonely is not a feeling when you are alone. Lonely is a feeling when no one cares.” I feel this quote perfectly describes the physical and even more an emotional state of Slim, a shelter dog. He has been desperately waiting to be adopted by someone and have a family of his own for more than a year. Slim has a toy, which is his companion of loneliness and apparently his favorite. Rescue Me Ohio says Slim “loves his bucket and is lost without it!!” Rescued from an abandoned house the scared pit bull mix was taken to Ashland County Dog Shelter in Ohio where he resides presently.

“He is approximately 4 to 5 years old, a Pit Bull mix. He has a lot of energy and charm. He had some food guarding issues that the shelter staff and volunteers have worked with and he has come a long way. He loves attention and loves to play. He is a very strong boy too who does not have the best of leash manners. He is anxious in the shelter and has destroyed most of the toys he’s been given. But his favorite toy is his Bucket!!! He loves his bucket and is lost without it!! He sits like a perfect gentleman for a treat and takes them so nicely. He will need a home that will continue to work on these manners he has learned. Slim really needs a rescue to take him in and give him time to decompress after all this shelter time.”

With all the vaccines being administered and his health taken care of, Slim still waits with his bucket for a kind owner to drop by some day and make him a part of their family.
