I asked the staff which dog had zero adoption applications, here is what happened

They told me her name is Nancy and she was depressed because her owner just passed away
Every day she would just sit by the kennel door waiting for him to come back
Or sleep all day because she was sad
She kept looking for him to come back
Until she realized he wasn't coming back
I AM ON A DOGGIE DAY TRIP, BUT YOU CAN STILL INQUIRE ABOUT ME!
THANK YOU!

So I took her on a day trip to cheer her up
Which she was so excited for
Her tail didn't stop wagging
And she kept kissing me to thank me
I kept telling her I'll do my best to find you another family
So I took her to the park
I gave her a lot of pets
Toys of her own
And she had the best day ever
I told her I wouldn't give up on her
And sometimes it takes time
So we wait until someone sees her
Because she deserves it
