Magnum has been at the shelter for over two years and it's starting to take its toll on him.
A shelter dog who arrived with injuries so severe he had to have one of his legs amputated is struggling to find the forever home he desperately needs.Magnum has been at Austin Pets Alive in Texas since April of 2022, having been brought to the facility from a rural shelter that was previously struggling to meet his medical needs.
The volunteer behind the goodboygonehome account said: 'Home environments where they have someone who can monitor them more closely and consistently as well as having soft places to sleep is significantly better for them to slow the progression of arthritis.'Sadly, as the video posted online explains, though the shelter gets visitors, 'no one ever asks to meet him.' There are some specific reasons why Magnum has struggled to get adopted though.
