An animal shelter has shared a heartwrenching post on social media of two rescued dogs who have had no luck in finding their forever home.
Everyday people walk straight by Adorra and Bro as they both patiently wait for someone to give them the chance that they deserve.
Adorra is four years old and the DSPCA said that she is super friendly, playful and has so much love to give.
"Despite her sweet and affectionate nature, she is still waiting for a family to see just how special she is.
Adorra adores being part of whatever is going on — she just wants to be included, to belong, to have someone she can spend her life with".
The rescue continued: "She is smart and eager to please, especially when treats are involved, and training with her is a joy. What she longs for most is not treats or toys — it’s a home, a safe place where she will finally be loved and wanted forever.
"Playful and bouncy at heart, Adorra would thrive in a home with older children. She could live with another pending a dog meet.
"Right now, she is just waiting… hoping that the right person will see her and give her the second chance she so desperately deserves."
Bro is also four years old and is a little shy when he first meets new people but once he gets to know you he is super affectionate and playful.
"He loves his exercise and has been a dream to walk while on off-site adventures. He would love a family who would take him on long walks and fun trips to the beach.
"Bro gets on well with other dogs and could live in a home with another dog his own size who likes to play rough and tumble. He would be suitable to live in home with older teenagers.
"We know there’s someone out there who will love Adorra and Bro just as much as we do. Could you be the one to give one of these dogs a loving home? When you adopt, you change a life. And you help us save more."
The post has recieved a lot of attention from heartbroken people concerned for the two dogs who are yet to receive a home.
One person said: "Those eyes are so sad , really hope a new home comes soon".
Another person said: "Two beautiful dogs, hopefully have there forever home soon".
