Shelter dog ‘lights up every room’ — but keeps being overlooked. She needs home
A dog that’s the equivalent of a ray of sunshine is sitting patiently in a Philadelphia shelter, waiting to be seen by someone who appreciates her light.
Midnight, a 6-year-old terrier, pit bull mix, is anything but dark — as her name might suggest. But despite her charming demeanor, the sweet girl has been waiting a long time for a place to call her own, the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) says.
“How is it possible that Midnight is still waiting?” the shelter said in a May 19 Facebook post. “We truly thought yesterday might be her day. She arrived at our adoption event with her usual big smile and happy tail wags, but once again, she went back to her kennel at the end of the night.
“We keep saying it because it’s true: Midnight is sweet, playful, and endlessly happy. She lights up every room she walks into.”
Midnight even made her presence known on a popular news station, where her charm worked overtime.
“Just the other day, during her visit to NBC10 Philadelphia, a passerby stopped and said, ‘That’s the happiest dog I’ve ever seen.’ And they weren’t wrong - Midnight brings sunshine wherever she goes,” the shelter said. “After two years of being overlooked, she’s more than ready for her forever. She’s open to meeting respectful kids and calm, easygoing dog friends.”
Along with her kissable face and personality, Midnight is a lover of toys, her pet profile says.
“Whether it’s a squeaky chew toy or a plushie, she’s always up for a good game of fetch or a romp around the yard. But don’t worry, she’s not high maintenance - she’s happy to play or cuddle up beside you, whichever you prefer!” her profile says. “Currently, Midnight is working on her training plan to become the best behaved pup she can be and would love her family to continue it.”
