Dog whose tail 'never stops waiting' finally starting to lose hope

Raja now and when she first arrived at the shelter

A loving dog who lost her family due to divorce has greeted every potential family with a smile and wagging tail, but after waiting for months in the shelter, that hopeful smile is starting to fade. Old Dog Haven posted this beautiful eight-year-old dog on Facebook, stating that she has been waiting at the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County in Tacoma and she's so ready to do home.

Old Dog Haven's Facebook post stated: "Meet Raja! This happy 8-year-old girl is looking for a new family with an outlook on life equally as cheery as her own. This girl’s tail NEVER stops wagging, and she greets every person she meets with her trademark grin!"

But while Raja's intake photo looks joyful, complete with a red ribbon, a more recent photo shows that time at the shelter has taken its toll on this joyful girl. One person wrote: "Come ON, people! Why is she still there? Even Raja the cheery is beginning to look sad and disappointed. Please share her widely?? Maybe her perfect person has been away and now needs to know where she is..."

Why has it taken so long for Raja to find a home? She's looking to be an only pet, and doesn't get along well with other dogs or with cats. But she's hopeful that her perfect family is out there - and perhaps will read her story.

Another person wrote: "Her family was heartbroken when they found out the dad took her to the humane society. Divorce sucks for everyone. She's a great dog. Grew up with kids. She's very sweet."

According to Old Dog Haven, Raja is a "compact, 50-pound pitty love in a cute package. She loves to go for walks and get lots of cuddles and belly rubs. She would love to show her new family that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks in a fun training class. At the end of the day, Raja just wants a family who will accept her for who she is and in return she will provide boundless love and companionship."

If you are looking to adopt and have no other pets, please consider Raja. She's waiting to meet you at the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County in Tacoma. And if you aren't looking to adopt at this time, please SHARE her story to help her find the loving forever family that she deserves.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment .  I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry,  and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that  destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth  on Instagram and  @justice4earth  on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...
