Each and every dog residing in a shelter dreams of finally having their own permanent home. Although the staff at shelters work tirelessly to make this a reality, the process of adoption isn’t always straightforward. Some furry friends may wait for a while before finding the perfect home, and there are unfortunate instances where adoptions don’t work out.
In the previous week, we recounted the tale of Ronald, a dog who faced a string of unfortunate circumstances as 14 potential adopters failed to take him in. Despite this, he persevered, and we are thrilled to announce that he has finally found his forever home!
The SPCA of Wake County recently told the tale of Ronald on January 11. Despite his relatively light weight of 63 pounds, Ronald is actually quite a big guy with a sizeable build that may have proved daunting for some families – particularly those with young children. The shelter suspects that Ronald’s hefty frame played a role in his inability to find a permanent home after multiple unsuccessful attempts.
The SPCA affectionately referred to Ronald as a “massive pooch” who displays his excitement by standing up on his hind legs and gently placing his paws on you or playfully nipping. While some families may find Ronald’s exuberance overwhelming, the SPCA remained confident that there is a perfect match out there for him to become someone’s loyal companion.

According to the SPCA, Ronald is a well-behaved and amicable dog who follows commands and responds well to rewards. The organization describes him as a “good boy” and believes he would excel in any training program due to his love for treats and performing tricks.
Ronald’s fortunes took a turn for the better in no time. His tale made waves on the internet, and countless people stepped up to offer him a new home. So much so that the shelter had to decline further adoption pleas because they had reached their limit.
According to SPCA representative Samantha Ranlet, his unfortunate streak was turned around unexpectedly fast. She expressed being extremely grateful and flooded with emotion.
The SPCA has shared some wonderful news about Ronald – his unlucky days are over! According to the organization, his new family has reported that he is thriving with the children and they have formed an instant bond with him. The SPCA has also posted some adorable pictures of Ronald with his new family and confirmed that he is settling in nicely.
After failing to be adopted 14 times, Ronald has finally found a forever home and it has brought great joy to the SPCA. The outpouring of support and kind words from everyone who shared Ronald’s story is greatly appreciated by the organization. Ronald’s story reached millions of people on the first day due to the widespread sharing, and it has drastically changed his life for the better. The SPCA is amazed by the power of the keyboard and how it can change lives. They are thrilled that Ronald’s bad luck has come to an end and he has found his permanent home. They encourage everyone to spread this incredible news.
