美國德州狗狗艾斯皮(Espy)原本是開朗愛玩的孩子,但進入收容所後常時間只能待在籠舍內,讓牠越來越失去被領養的希望,一開始只要有人經過牠就會滿懷期待地靠上來,但現在牠只是默默低著頭,對外界的反應越來越少。
艾斯皮2019年底在德州Austin Animal Center被領養,然而在2023年3月被飼主棄養,目前待在動物救援組織Austin Pets Alive!。事實上牠是一隻很愛與人互動的狗狗,非常聰明、心思敏感,很期待與人建立情感連結,一開始只要有人經過牠的籠舍,牠都會興奮地迎向前,像是在說「你要帶我回家嗎?」,然而經過了1年多都沒有獲選,現在無論是誰經過籠舍,艾斯皮已經不再激動只是低著頭。

志工表示,艾斯皮在籠子裡不會展現自我,但在籠外牠跟朋友們相處很快樂、很活潑,充滿了生命力,「變成一隻截然不同的狗狗」。動物福祉期刊(Animal Welfare)上曾有研究發現,待在收容所時間較長的狗,容易表現出對訪客來說是「不吸引人」的行為,包括總是窩在狗籠裡、不太吠叫、看起來不太活潑等,這些正是艾斯皮目前的情形。
志工希望艾斯皮的影片能幫助牠被更多人看見,找到一個能快樂生活的家,對艾斯皮來說理想的家庭是有個院子、沒有小孩,而因為在收容所生活過,艾斯皮有機會適應有一隻狗狗或貓貓朋友的家。
網友們看到影片也感受到艾斯皮眼神中的失落,不少人表示願意給艾斯皮一個家,雖然目前仍未有找到新家的消息,但相信艾斯皮很快也能找到幸福。
@goodboygonehome Espy has been at the shelter for a year after his family of 4 years got rid of him. He has grown very depressed in his kennel and @Austin Pets Alive! is desperately trying to find him a home or foster. Espy can live with a well matched dog or cat and CAN be transported out of state to the right home. He is located in Austin, TX #espy #longstay #depression #austinpetsalive #saveme #shelterdogs #dogsoftiktok #333rule #foster #adopt #viraldogsoftiktok #austin #tx #help ♬ Very Sad - Enchan
