"Why doesn't anybody want me? I've been waiting 5 years. Everyone at the shelter tells me what a good boy I am. So why has no one adopted me? I promised to be good and love my new family. Please maybe you are my new family/ I sit and wait for you to come."

"I posted the original photo on the League's Facebook page and by later that day there were over 6000 shares," Stroup said. "Someone suggested I make him his own page and I did, at about 3:30 p.m., and that evening there were close to 2000 likes." By Saturday afternoon there were well over 4,000 likes.


As well as enquiries on social media, Stroup said she received over 300 emails and more phone calls than she could count.


"The phone just never stopped. People called from Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Michigan, Oregon, New Jersey Wisconsin, Nova Scotia, Australia and more — people tearing up as they called."


A woman named Dana Dor and her family came to visit Chester.
