UPDATE: Heartbroken Tommie Bear is back in the bunker again and now he’s just mopping

In Houston, Texas, Tommie Bear sleeps quietly in his bed and hardly notices anyone we leave behind in front of the shelter cage. The heartbroken puppy was returned to Harris County Pets just months later.

Tommie Bear was a stray who came to the shelter in June 2020; He had a microchip and was on a six-day relationship hold. Two people wanted to adopt him, so the dog’s first new owner gave him to another family, who either released him or gave him back to the shelter.

So, four months later, Tommie Bear, who has seen little human interaction or positive behavioral reinforcement, is a sad and unhappy pup who knows he’s back at the shelter, surrounded by loud noises, unfamiliar people, and an uncertain future.

“… The adopter believes he is being very protective of his owner and may not be ideal for children. Dogs, especially this breed, require constant guidance and leadership.

Look at him in this video: he’s stunned, depressed and has no idea what he’s doing wrong…

“This upsets and worries me and so I feel the need for a rescue to watch her adoption this time around because the adopters are inexperienced and Tommie doesn’t deserve to be fired like this again,” one shelter volunteer said.

 

Here are a few bunker notes from Tommie Bear’s bad luck:

LAST UPDATE 10/22: BEAR NAME TOMMIE KS IS BACK AFTER JUST A FEW MONTHS OF ACCEPTED! It needs a new home and this time it must be a great one! Please share with others!

UPDATE 7/9: Sorry but it looks like Tommie won’t be leaving; We’re not sure if the email said it was adopted yesterday, but now the adoption is on hold so we’re still waiting for the final word! I will call you tomorrow for more details to keep everyone informed.

-UPDATE 7/6: STILL WAITING TO BE MARRIED… she hasn’t left the shelter for now, so we’ll be keeping an eye on her until she’s adopted.

-UPDATE 6/29: TOMMY IS STILL WAITING FOR THE CHIP, BUT THERE ARE TWO UNIQUES NEXT… waiting for him to be adopted.

 

The most important aspect of the narrative is that Tommy is adopted from a loving family line that believes in himself and treats him like a legitimate part of the family.

“My family and I got our bear a week ago and it’s fine!” “He’s a huge cuddling bear and his name fits him perfectly,” said Tommie Bear’s new mom.
