Sora, a black Labrador Pitbull mix, first arrived at Valley Animal Center – the largest no-euthanasia shelter and adoption center for dogs and cats in Fresno, California, when her previous owner surrendered her almost four years ago.
Ever since then, beautiful Sora sadly hasn’t gotten any attention from potential adopters.
Up until recently, someone arrived at the shelter, and it seemed like Sora was finally going to her forever home. To everyone’s excitement, Sora did get adopted, but tragically, she also got returned in less than 24 hours.

According to the Valley Animal Center, Sora was surrendered to them in July of 2021 after her previous owner realized she needed more attention and training than they could provide her.
Although Sora is a very sweet and lovable pup, she has spent almost four years at the shelter without attracting much attention from potential adopters for some reason.
So, when someone came to the shelter asking about her, everyone was over the moon with the idea that she might be getting adopted.
Sora was so happy thinking she had finally found her forever home, but sadly, her happiness was short-lived.
The day after Sora’s adoption, the owner called the shelter and said they wanted to return her. Sora’s dreams were once again shattered, and the poor pup was simply heartbroken.
You can only imagine how this poor dog must feel, especially after already spending 900+ days behind kennel bars.
Returned And Heartbroken
Despite her broken heart, the shelter is still hopeful that there is someone out there who will be able to mend the broken pieces and bring a lifetime of happiness to this precious girl.
As you can imagine, living in a shelter can never replace the happiness a loving family can bring to one dog.
While shelters do everything in their power to provide the dogs with enough physical enrichment and love, it sadly never seems to be enough.
Spending almost four years at the shelter has unfortunately taken a toll on little Sora, who has developed anxious behaviors.
She is a beautiful dog who just deserves a proper chance.
Sora is still looking for her forever home and a person who will love and cherish her, but most importantly, one who will never give up on her again.
Could Sora be your ideal pet?
