Dog Waits for Owner at Shelter for Over 170 Days, Staring at the Door Every Day in Hope of Reunion
A husky-border collie mix named Roxie has spent over 170 days at a California animal shelter waiting by the door for her owner, with volunteers now hoping to find her a permanent adoptive home.
A dog has been waiting for her owner at a shelter for over 170 days, sitting by the door every day in hopes of being reunited with her familiar face. Recently, Jackie Gonzalez, a volunteer at an animal shelter in California, posted a video of Roxie, a husky-border collie mix, staring at the door with hope that her owner will return home, which has garnered considerable sympathy from internet users.
According to reports, Roxie was brought to the shelter and has been living there for over 170 days. Throughout this time, whenever she hears sounds from the entrance, she immediately perks up and looks at everyone walking in, as if trying to find her familiar owner.
Jackie shared that Roxie sits by the door every day, as if she believes that if she behaves well and is patient enough, one day her owner will come back for her again.
The stress of living in the shelter has taken a toll on Roxie. The shelter environment makes it difficult for her to relax and live a normal dog life. While other dogs have gradually been adopted, Roxie remains at the shelter.
Jackie added that Roxie is actually a cheerful, energetic dog who loves interacting with people and longs for human connection and warmth, making her well-suited for an active family ready to spend time with her.
Currently, Roxie has been spayed and fully vaccinated, and is waiting for a new home where someone is ready to care for her throughout her life.
