What should have been a happily-ever-after for a pup named Boris turned out to be a huge disappointment. The 1-year-old shepherd was adopted from the Riverside County Animal Control in California and a short time later, his “forever family” took him back. Why? Nobody seems to know. Suffice to say, Boris is disappointed and confused to be locked away behind bars once again.

On Sunday, the volunteer-run Facebook page, Saving Riverside Shelter Dogs, wrote:

RETURNED ADOPTION! Back at shelter 1/3/19

BORIS #A1490206

I am a male, black and tan German Shepherd Dog. Shelter staff have estimated my age to be approximately 1 year old. I have been at the shelter since Dec 04, 2018. I am available for adoption NOW

Boris is still just a pup – a puppy who is in need of love, security, and guidance. You can help this homeless young dog find a new family (hopefully one who won’t give up on him) by taking a moment to share this article, with his adoption information.
