The caption poses a question, &#8220;Will Leroy ever find his permanent family?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Leroy is overjoyed as he sniffs and explores the natural surroundings. Being a senior dog, he prefers to live life at a leisurely pace, enjoying naps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weblovedogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/senior-shelter-dog-leroy-cottage-getaway_2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Leroy had become accustomed to sleeping on the floor after spending countless nights in the kennel, and didn&#8217;t realize that the dog bed was meant for him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Stephanie, being compassionate, wanted to show Leroy that the bed was his own, so she enlarged it and offered him treats. She mentioned, &#8220;He slept very comfortably on it throughout the night.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weblovedogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/senior-shelter-dog-leroy-cottage-getaway-3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Numerous viewers were heartbroken after learning about Leroy&#8217;s story and couldn&#8217;t believe that he hadn&#8217;t been adopted yet. They praised Stephanie for her kind gesture. &#8220;How could he have been there for so long? He&#8217;s such a kind-hearted soul.

It would break my heart to see him spend another year of his precious life at the shelter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Despite her affection for Leroy, she cannot adopt him as she already has two dogs. Nevertheless, she is optimistic that someone will come forward after seeing the video and adopt him.
