Sheldon The Dog
Sheldon, for example, is one of those pit bull-type dogs who ended up in an animal shelter. He didn’t appear to be sociable, despite the fact that pit bull dogs did not make up a bigger percentage of shelter dogs (32 percent in 2014). He was shy, even grumpy, according to his coworkers. Wouldn’t you be, wouldn’t you? It’s not easy for a dog to be locked in a cage, no matter how they got to the pound or how harmless their abandonment may have been. Regardless of how hard the staff tries to make things better, easier, or even enjoyable, it’s just not a cheerful environment.

The best-case scenario is not where a dog or cat wants to be, especially when the animal has clearly been part of a family in the past, prior to being placed in a shelter. It was evident that Sheldon had been a member of a family earlier because of how he reacted to staff. Sheldon found himself in 2016 at Maricopa County Animal Care and Control, a shelter in Phoenix, Arizona. They deal with a steady assault of new dogs and cats who need care and homes, just like so many other shelters around the country and around the world. Volunteers are also needed to work with the animals and assist them in dealing with the daily challenges that come with living in a pound.
