Texas dog adopted by senior citizen after living 700 days in shelter: 'He has chosen me'

A senior dog has found a loving home thanks to a senior citizen in Texas who felt he was the perfect match for her. Velcro, a 10-year-old Carolina dog mix, has been available to adopt since 2022 after being welcomed to Austin Pets Alive , an animal rescue located in Austin, a representative at APA told Fox News Digital. The elderly dog has arthritis along with 'progressive neurological and musculoskeletal challenges with his spine and hind ,' the representative continued.

Jeanette, who requested her surname be omitted for privacy reasons, met Velcro through a foster-to-adopt program in February, according to APA. 'The foster-to-adopt process allows the shelter and the foster to help the dog acclimate to a home by providing at-home behavior and lifelong adoption support,' an APA representative said. Jeanette hopes that Velcro's story will inspire dog owners to not overlook pets who are older or have special needs.
