Even with the understanding that there are often more animals in shelters than there are people equipped or willing to adopt them, it can still be a little baffling as to how some dogs and cats can be so unlucky.
It would be more understandable if the animals in question were old or showing problem behavior, but it's not that unusual to hear stories of perfectly friendly dogs being passed over for months or even years at a time. And it's doubly strange and sad when it seems like that unfortunate critter is about to be adopted only for the family to flake out at the last minute.
But of course, that only makes it all the sweeter when the strangely unwanted critters finally do find their forever homes and that day finally came for one dog who's been at her shelter for longer than anyone would have expected.
