After a 7-year wait, an Ohio rescue dog finally found a home, only to be returned to the shelter. Nitro, a lovable pup from The Healthy Hearts and Paws Project in Ohio, is once again in search of a forever family after being brought back just a few weeks post his long-awaited adoption. Nitro, who has spent most of his life at the shelter, is an active dog who enjoys running, playing, swimming in lakes, and going on hikes. The shelter is hopeful that Nitro will find a loving home soon.

The Healthy Hearts and Paws Project, a nonprofit animal shelter in Warren, Ohio, has been Nitro’s home for nearly seven years. In early July, Nitro was adopted by what seemed to be a loving family. Sadly, the new owners returned Nitro to the shelter shortly after the adoption because their existing dog did not get along with him. Despite the setback, the shelter remains optimistic about finding a permanent home for Nitro.
Described as snuggly, playful, strong, and attentive, Nitro has a lot of love to give to the right family. He adores swimming in lakes and going on adventures. However, due to a lack of volunteers, Nitro doesn’t get to run and play as much as he would like at the shelter. This has led to challenges in showcasing his true personality to potential adopters during visits.
The shelter acknowledges that Nitro may act differently once he is out of the shelter environment, urging interested adopters to spend time with him away from the shelter setting. They emphasize the need for multiple visits and patience to help Nitro transition into a new home successfully. The shelter believes that with the right match, Nitro’s seven-year wait for a forever home will finally come to an end.
Despite the disappointment of being returned to the shelter, Nitro’s spirit remains resilient. The Healthy Hearts and Paws Project continues to share updates about Nitro’s availability for adoption and hopes that someone will come forward to give him the loving home he deserves. The shelter’s dedication to finding a suitable family for Nitro highlights their commitment to the well-being of their animals.
Animal lovers interested in adopting Nitro can reach out to The Healthy Hearts and Paws Project in Warren, Ohio. The shelter is determined to make sure Nitro’s next home is his forever home, where he can thrive and bring joy to his new family. Let’s hope Nitro’s story has a happy ending soon, after his long journey to find a place where he truly belongs.
