Shelter dog eagerly waits for her family, unaware that it won’t ever happen

In a heartbreaking dog video on Instagram, a shelter dog is unaware of her family leaving her for good. The clip begins with the pooch sitting calmly on a dog bed in her kennel. She keeps looking outside her door and comes forward when someone stops by. She lets the volunteer pet her and spend time with her.

It looks like Angel loves company and misses the warmth of a human. Despite spending time with the volunteer, the shelter dog sits in front of a closed door in the clip. So, the caption explains why she does that. “[Angel] gets the sweetest little zoomies… and then she quietly waits by the door, ready to go home. The hardest part is that she doesn’t know this isn’t home,” it reads.

Furthermore, the uploader states that the pooch’s family surrendered her at the shelter. She has been staying in a home for six years, and suddenly, she has no one by her side. As per the caption, Angel is friendly with other animals and is wonderful with kids. The shelter dog “loves affection, enjoys walks, plays fetch, and has so much love left to give. She’s currently on a healthy weight-loss plan.”

Meanwhile, the Instagram post has garnered over 16K likes as of this writing.
