Isla is no stranger to the shelter. She has been returned three times for reasons that “are never really her fault.”Shelter workers agree that the 9-year-old dog is a sweetheart. She loves people and gets along with children. But now, as she’s back in their care, they’re worried that she will be homeless for the rest of her days, especially because they said all she wants is “to be loved.”One reason why the shelter believes she has been back and forth is that Isla needs to be the only pet in the house. While she’s been around smaller dogs and off-leash with them, she has never lived with another canine or cats.

Thankfully, someone stepped in to foster Isla for the time being. They commented on the Facebook post that she is settling into her home.”She is such a sweet and gentle soul, full of energy for a 9-year-old,” the comment reads. “She’s a power walker but never pulls on the leash. Just yesterday, between 3:30 p.m. and bedtime, we covered 5.65 miles—I’ll be in great shape by the end of the week!”Isla’s adoption page is no longer listed on the rescue’s website, which could be an indication she has found her forever home.Newsweek reached out to Eleventh Hour Rescue for additional information. We could not verify the details.Devasted by the news Isla had been returned to the shelter several times, Facebook users flooded the post with their hopes she would find her forever home soon.”That’s so heartbreaking for her. She’s so beautiful. It’s so sad she was failed three times. She’s probably so sad and confused. So not fair to her,” said one user.Another added: “Praying Urgently for Isla to find a forever loving home soon!!! She’s Beautiful.”A third person commented: “Senior dogs are the best! I hope she finds a home soon.”Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
