Viral senior dog Harley adopted from Wayne County Humane Society

Harley, a senior dog with mobility issues, found his way to the Wayne County Humane Society after his previous owner moved into an assisted living facility. Despite his age and limp, Harley's friendly demeanor and desire for affection quickly endeared him to the shelter staff and volunteers. A video of Harley's slow but determined walk went viral, garnering over 5 million views, yet no adoption applications followed. Undeterred, the shelter continued to share his story, eventually reaching Amanda and Jesse Schossler, a family who had recently lost two of their own senior dogs. Initially hesitant, Amanda changed her mind after watching Harley's video, feeling a special connection. Harley now enjoys a loving home with his new family, who are sharing their journey on social media. The Wayne County Humane Society, a nonprofit organization operating since 1973, continues to care for animals of all ages, emphasizing the importance of community support and donations to help more animals like Harley find their forever homes.
