There\u2019s an absolutely absurd stereotype in this world, saying that old dogs are \u201cjust not worth the time.\u201d<\/em> Due to this belief, many owners decide to euthanize their senior pets instead of taking care of them, even though the pets don\u2019t necessarily cope with some condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, out of approximately 3 million dogs in shelters in the U.S., around 390,000 dogs are euthanized, according to statistics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several years ago, a woman named Melissa, from Conyers, Georgia, decided to do something about it. She started a facility called Old Dog Home<\/a> on her 11-acre yard, which helps senior doggos get, as she says, \u201ca chance at love and family for their last years.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, when she received a call about one senior being unjustifiably set for euthanization at a local shelter, she fell apart. This is why\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Melissa\u2019s veterinary partners from Georgia called her one day to ask if she could take in a dog that was brought to be euthanized by his family. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the dog didn\u2019t suffer from a life-threatening condition, his family decided to put her to sleep because she was peeing on the floor and the grandkids were just not interested in her.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, Melissa didn\u2019t have enough room for one more dog, but she couldn\u2019t stand the idea of a dog being unfairly euthanized<\/strong>; hence, she decided to come and meet this senior doggo girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she finally came to the shelter, she asked a man who was there with his granddaughter to rethink his actions, but he just said that they don\u2019t really like her<\/strong> \u2013 they liked their other dogs better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melissa was devastated, but still inclined to help the poor doggo girl who she later named \u201cHolly.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
