重點二：狗狗因適應新環境困難而發生排泄意外。
重點三：年長狗狗需要更多時間適應新生活。

美國一間動物收容所近日分享一段令人鼻酸的故事。一隻年邁的狗狗Petunia在收容所等待多時後，終於被一戶家庭領養，工作人員原本以為牠終於能離開冰冷的籠舍，迎來人生的幸福下半場，沒想到短短兩天後，這隻狗狗卻再次被送回收容所...

收容所說明，這隻狗狗年紀已大，視力與身體狀況都不如年輕時靈活，對環境變化也較為敏感。剛到新家的牠仍在適應期，因為一時找不到廁所，在屋內發生排泄意外，讓領養家庭感到困擾，最終決定將牠退回。

更讓人心碎的是，當狗狗被送回收容所時，情緒明顯低落。牠沒有吠叫，也沒有掙扎，只是靜靜站著，眼眶泛紅，甚至流下眼淚，彷彿還沒弄懂為什麼才剛得到的家，這麼快又失去了。熟悉牠的工作人員看到這一幕，也忍不住紅了眼眶。

收容所人員表示，年長狗狗並不是不乖，而是需要更多時間適應新生活。牠們走得慢一點、學得慢一點，卻同樣渴望被接納與陪伴。這段故事曝光後，引發不少網友討論，許多人替狗狗感到心疼，也希望牠能再次遇見願意包容牠、陪牠慢慢走完餘生的家人。

** 12/20/25- WE DID IT GUYS, PETUNIA FOUND A HOME. JUST POSTED THAT UPDATE- thank you all so much for the engagement on this. And for everyone that expressed interest, I encourage you to take that and continue searching for another sweet soul to take in. ** This sweet girl has known not a whole lotta love and yet she still has so much to give. She isn’t asking for a whole lot. She should be fine with other dogs but it will require a meet and greet. Her eyes are going a bit so other animals like cats don’t seem to bother her too much because she can’t see them and isn’t quick enough at this age to even bother. She loves everyone she meets and still has spunk to her. Kids included, but due to her age, older kids who know boundaries would be best. I met her this past weekend and she absolutely melted my heart, and I would love nothing more for Christmasthan to see her in a forever home to live out her days. . so if this might be you, feel free to comment or DM. I am willing to personally cover her adoption fee and helping in any way I can to make it all work 🩷 . *update: we have a strong potential adopter coming to meet her on Saturday. So keep your fingers crossed. I’ll be sure to update more* . #seniordogs #njadoptabledogs #adoptforchristmas #lookingforaforeverhome #njanimalshelter
