Touched by the image of a special dog that was returned 4 times and was finally adopted by a loving family

It’s pretty much the same with all shelter dogs. All they want is a sweet loving forever home. But not every one of them is lucky enough to nail that from the first go. But sometimes even doggos have to face some serious hardship before they find a real silver lining in their lives. That was exactly the case for Bandit who was taken into the Gwinnett Jail Dogs Program as a stray but ran into some serious health problems that left him paralyzed below the waist. Luckily for him, someone with the exact same problem learned about Bandit and took him into their care. It’s like it’s written in the stars!

No shelter dogs have an easy life. But Bandit’s journey was particularly bumpy. After being found as a stray, he was taken to Gwinnett County Animal Shelter but then transferred to the Gwinnett Jail Dogs Program. It’s a unique program that saves dogs from being euthanized and have jail inmates train and care for them.
