When a puppy is returned to the same shelter for the eleventh time, the staff eventually ascertains what is wrong.
Benji had been adopted multiple times, only to be returned to the shelter each time for unknown reasons. This was the eleventh time, and each adopter gave the same vague explanation. The new trainee at the shelter didn’t understand what was wrong with Benji until she took him home.
Stacy, feeling terrible, was on her way back to the shelter with Benji fast asleep in the backseat. This time, she had to return him for the twelfth time. The shelter workers had already gathered, eager to hear the real reason behind Benji’s repeated returns.
Benji had been at the shelter for 18 months and seemed like a puppy, but no one understood why he kept being sent back. Although he was quickly adopted each time, his owners kept returning him after just a few weeks. This pattern began when he was just three weeks old, abandoned by his original family. The shelter had him examined, and all tests came back normal.
Benji was adopted by a newlywed couple who seemed like the perfect family for him. However, after just three weeks, they returned him, giving a flimsy reason. Despite the shelter’s hopes for a quick re-adoption, this cycle of adoption and return continued. No one knew why, but Stacy was about to reveal the truth.
