If you’re a dog lover, you probably know that nagging feeling you get in your heart after visiting a shelter. These sweet girls were feeling all the weight of knowing that the little puppy they had fallen in love with would spend another night in the shelter. Empathy is such a gift, but it can be a painful emotion, too.
Even though these girls are still little, they show so much emotional intelligence and understanding for animals. That’s something many adults are still learning!

If you can relate to these little girls and how they felt about their shelter puppy, consider this a sign to explore adopting a dog yourself. There are thousands of shelter dogs searching for homes, and you can find almost any breed or mix in any age range. If you’re in the right place to adopt a dog, I urge you to visit your local shelter and just meet some of the dogs. Maybe one will catch your eye, and you’ll feel the tug to go back for them once you leave the shelter.
