The Tale of the Second Family

Nevertheless, the shelter workers could not argue against this man and they accepted Benjis’ return with grace in their hearts. He was now six weeks old. This meant that he was now closer to the 7 to 9 weeks age when puppies were most likely to be adopted. In 2020, the most adopted dogs from animal shelters were puppies at 42%.

The second adoption happened quickly enough, within two weeks Benji had found a new home. The shelter workers were relieved. Unfortunately, it relief was short-lived. It hadn’t been even a month since the workers found Benji back at the shelter. He had been returned.
