The Labrador mix was brought back to the shelter only seven days after being adopted.
Hearts are breaking after a Facebook post revealed a rescue dog was returned to a shelter after one week with his adopters.Originally found as a stray, Bo was brought into the Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter in Branford, Connecticut. The 2-year-old Labrador retriever mix had an embedded collar and needed medical attention. While there, the team learned he was heartworm-positive and started treating him.
The depression has been taking a toll on Bo and because of that, his behavior is changing. The caption explained Bo enjoyed dogs when he first came into the shelter, but now he barks at them.The shelter would prefer Bo gets adopted by a zero-cat household and a family with children at least 8 years old because of his size and 'he loves to play.' He will be neutered once he is heartworm negative.
