When Blue King (Blue for short) arrived at Carson Shelter, one person offered him a  treat

When a high-kill shelter received this pit bull, nobody expected the emotional roller coaster he took them on. When one person offered Blue King (Blue for short) a treat, he sniffed it, but didn’t eat it. The only thing Blue did was cry behind the bars of his kennel door. Additionally, tears were dripping from his eyes, and some speculate that it was due to allergies.

Blue King’s family surrendered him to Carson Shelter in California because they decided to move and not take the dog to the new home.

Eventually, a few volunteers noticed Blue’s more-than-sad face and decided to help the pooch

They posted his story on Facebook, hoping someone would adopt him

Shortly after, a woman named Jennifer McKay came over to meet Blue

“You could tell that every time someone walked by, it was like he was looking for [his family]. It’s like he knew he had been left there”

McKay had made up her mind to adopt Blue, and after the dog passed the temperament test, she took him home

After he left the shelter, Blue King became a new dog. His new owner says that Blue loves sleeping, belly rubs, cuddles, and gazing into the mirrors

Most importantly, Blue isn’t crying anymore
