Nicknamed “ Mr. Personality ” by shelter staff , the puppy last find a fellowship to call his own .
Ciabatta , a big boy with a sweet inclination to match , had been in and out of theFranklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Centerin Columbus , Ohio since July 2018 . In total , his time at the shelter amounted to a humongous 370 day without a family to call his own . But earlier this calendar month , the endearing mix breed doggo was finally adopted — just in time to drop the vacation as part of a love household .
Before he was adopt by his most recent surrogate family , who first brought him home in November , the grayish brown and white pooch was the shelter ’s longest - standing canine resident . It was n’t a championship that anyone wanted for the pup , who ’d been hap over time and clip again by people looking toadopt a pet .

" He is just extremely sweet and tender , " Andrew Kohn , JD , the shelter ’s community congress managing director , narrate Daily Paws . " But he just has a bunch of get-up-and-go for some people ! "
During his time at the shelter , Ciabatta showed off his playful side with unpaid worker and staff . " He ’s a parcel of get-up-and-go , " Kohn says . " He would toy outside all sidereal day if he could . " The pup ’s affectionate demeanour and ability to lighten anyone ’s temper earned him the nickname " Mr. Personality " with staff .
But that playful moniker did n’t make it any easier for him to rule a home . Ciabatta ’s particular need made it difficult to witness the perfect family for the whelp . Kohn says the dog had three requirements for his forever crime syndicate : " A rest home with no other animal , a fenced - in back yard , and quondam nipper . " Those factors contributed to Ciabatta ’s position as the protection ’s farseeing - standing canine occupant .
Kohn attributes Ciabatta ’s eventual triumph to the commitment of staff and volunteers who set up dogs for adoption bysocializingthem before they find permanent homes . The protection give thanks all the volunteers who work with Ciabatta in a heartwarming video celebrating his espousal . In the TV , the tax shelter thanks the mass who were dedicate and determined to helping this bundle of joy receive his forever rest home .
Even though many tax shelter dog have warm , playful demeanour like Ciabatta , Kohn notes that they ’re often overlooked if they ’ve been in the shelter for an protracted full point of fourth dimension . It ’s a bit of a ego - fulfilling prophecy : the longer the dogs stay at the shelter , the less likely they are to find homes . " It ’s really inauspicious , " Kohn tells Daily Paws . " Some weenie are overlook for one cause or another , and can win a stigma of being ' unadoptable ' because of the length of their stay . " Kohn luff out that while many long - term shelter wienerwurst are some of the most awesome pup , they can start to pick up behaviors that are unique to the shelter setting as their stay lengthens .
But that does n’t necessarily mean they ’ll take those behaviors with them to their new abode . Like Ciabatta , once they have a chance to relax from the stress of the shelter in their new home , Kohn says pups are probable to " blossom and grow , showing their true self and offer all the love in the world to theirnew family . "
With Ciabatta now happily at his new home , the shelter is hoping to find their next long - term resident physician , a 7 - class - honest-to-goodness dog named Sasha , a house as well . With her seraphic chocolate-brown eye and tan - and - white coloring , we think she looks an awful mickle like Mr. Personality . Let ’s hope those gorgeous good look help her find a forever domicile ASAP , too .
