Dog who lived in shelter for 1,000 days gets beautiful goodbye party after finally being adopted
Every shelter dog yearns for a loving home, but for some, the wait can be longer than others. Some dogs languish for months or even years before finding a forever home.
One particularly charming dog waited for over 1,000 days to find her ideal home. However, when her dream finally came true, her caretakers bid her a grand farewell.
Ginny, a 5-year-old female pit bull mix, was a stray who arrived at the Lexington Humane Society in December 2019. Despite being put up for adoption, nobody came forward to claim her, and finding her a new home proved to be challenging.
Ginny required a child-free and animal-free home, which limited her potential adopters. Additionally, her breed may have been a factor, as time passed, and Ginny remained unclaimed.

Despite everything, Ginny never lost hope. “Not many can tolerate life in a shelter for the amount of time that she has, but Ginny always prevailed, no matter what,” LHS wrote on Facebook.
The shelter said that Ginny received leash training, crate training and learned basic obedience
But after nearly three years in the shelter, Ginny’s dream finally true: she got adopted! “Ginny has finally met her perfect match,” LHS wrote. “Ginny has watched thousands of other animals come and go during her time with us, but today is HER day.”

Seeing one of their longest residents finally get adopted was a special moment for the LHS staff, so they decided to make a special occasion out of it: they threw a party for Ginny and her new owner, complete with balloons, cake, treats and lots of parting gifts for Ginny.
Staff members attended the party to say a last farewell to their old friend, and lined up and applauded as Ginny left the shelter for the final time.
“We are so grateful to have been able to provide Ginny with love, care, and support for these past couple of years,” LHS wrote. “We couldn’t be more excited for her, or more grateful to her new dad for choosing adoption as the best option and helping an animal in need. Today is Ginny’s day, and it’s the BEST DAY EVER!”
In another post, they shared a photo of Ginny’s old kennel, finally empty for the first time in nearly three years: “Ginny has left the building and will never have to live in this cage again!”
