Stray Dog Not Doing Well At Shelter: 'He Just Wants A Person'
"He is losing weight and just pacing back and forth, looking for his human."
PECONIC, NY — A 4-year old dog is struggling after finding himself back at the animal shelter.
According to Gabrielle Stroup of the North Fork Animal Welfare League in Peconic, Gio came to the shelter from another rescue group after being found as a stray.
"He was adopted and then sadly ended up back at the shelter when an older dog in the home would not accept him. He is not doing well at the shelter at all," she said. "He just wants a person."
