North Carolina Dog Finds Forever Home After Being Rejected 14 Times

Things are finally looking good for Ronald.  This North Carolina dog finds his forever home after being rejected 14 times.  Ronald found his perfect match with a nurse in Wake County, North Carolina.

So why was Ronald being rejected time after time?  He was just “too clumsy, too goofy, too large and too naughty”. Sounds like the group of guys I work with. Seriously though, the excuses just keep coming as family after family after family kept rejecting Ronald and taking him to his animal shelter in Raleigh.

Luckily for Ronald, staff at the shelter did not give up hope.  They knew him to be the sweet guy that he was and upped their efforts to help him find a place he could rest his paws for all time.

Kiersten Davis is a 28 year old nurse and when she saw the one year old 63 pound puppy on social media she fell in love.  His size and energy did not intimidate her one bit.  Instead she says she found the missing piece for her family and now that the adoption is permanent she says she will never let him go.  Kiersten goes one to say he is “perfect”.

Of the 14 people who tried Ronald, only Kiersten was the right fit.  We are so happy this North Carolina dog found his forever home after being rejected 14 times.  To learn more, get details from People.

I’m sure you know plenty of people maybe even you who added a dog to the family in the last few years. But what were the most adopted dog breeds?

Ranking The Most Puppy-Loving States

They also ranked each state according to the number of people per capita looking to adopt a dog in the same time period. Below are the top 15 states as well the most popular adopted dogs in each state. To do this TOP Data analyzed a dog adoption database of 500,000 adopted dogs, analyzed online adoption data, and surveyed 1,000 dog owners across the U.S. Did you add a furry friend to your family in the past few years? I didn’t but these adorable dogs are definitely giving me puppy fever.
