Shelter Dog Chases After a Ball Like Nothing Else Matters, but Her Reality Is Far Different

An Instagram video shows how a shelter dog becomes happy just by chasing a ball, though she is still waiting for her forever home. Named Orchid, the young pooch loves playing around and is “incredibly sweet.” The video shows how she enjoys her life even if she has to return to a kennel. Despite her harsh reality, Orchid doesn’t stop chasing the ball as if “her life depends on it.”

Meanwhile, the uploader urges viewers to find the gentle fur baby the right home. “What she wants most isn’t a specific place—it’s someone who will never leave her behind again,” the caption reads.

Shelter dog looks so happy chasing after a ball that you’d never believe her reality looks like this

In the sweet yet heartbreaking dog video on Instagram, the shelter dog looks happy to chase a ball despite her harsh reality. Through on-screen text, the uploader mentions that Orchid “runs after the ball like her life depends on it.” In the clip, the pooch enjoys the little game as she runs around a small play area.

Although she has to chase a ball, Orchid forgets about it after running towards the target. She seems to love the run more than catching something. The “gorgeous, playful,” and “full of life” dog doesn’t get to enjoy the freedom all the time. It’s because she has to return to her kennel, where she probably watches many dogs leave with their forever family.

Meanwhile, Orchid is still waiting. In the caption, the uploader states that she was abandoned by her family. Since she has come to the shelter, the pooch has been “incredibly sweet, gentle, and friendly.” Now, she needs the perfect home where she can be loved and protected.

Viewers have showered the shelter dog with love in the comments. Many commenters have called her “cute” and confessed that they would “choose her in a heartbeat” if possible.
