Pittie Mom Can’t Stop Crying For Her Puppies After Being Abandoned At Shelter

When Cinnamon – a red nose Pitbull girl – was dumped at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control shelter in North Carolina, she was absolutely heartbroken. 

She had been abandoned without her babies, and every time anyone stopped to talk to her, tears filled her eyes.

This sad Pitbull mama caught the eyes of one volunteer, who then decided to film a short video of her and post it on Facebook. 

Only 48 hours later, the life of Cinnamon completely changed.

Sarah Jennings Sleime, normally a volunteer for the Greater Charlotte SPCA, decided one Saturday that she was going to make a spontaneous trip to animal control to check out a couple of dogs for rescue. 

She had no idea that one dog in particular was going to break her heart. 

“I walked the kennels and a pit bull caught my eye… she was sitting up, kind of slumped-over, almost human-like,” Sleime wrote in her Instagram post.

It was pretty obvious that she recently had puppies and was completely heartbroken since her puppies weren’t there with her. 

“[The shelter workers] believe she was confined and used as a breeding machine. She’s obviously had many, many litters,” Sleime told The Dodo. 

She then bent over and started to talk to Cinnamon, but each time she did so, Cinnamon’s eyes filled with tears.

“It was the craziest phenomenon,” Sleime said.

In the absence of a foster home, the SPCA was unable to rescue any big dogs, but Sleime knew she had to do something to help this poor dog.

“I snapped some video footage of her “crying” and posted it to Facebook. 48 hours later, that video has been viewed 1 MILLION times and shared by 20k people,” Sleime wrote. 

In only a day, Sleime’s inbox was filled with hundreds of messages about Cinnamon and her availability. 

So many people wanted to adopt this pretty girl and give her a new life that will not be filled with tears.  

Happily Ever After 

Sleime’s friend, Meghan Connor Shelton, from Charlotte, North Carolina, was also among the hundreds of people to see Cinnamon’s video. 

She told The Dodo: 

“I have a special place in my heart for pit bulls. I think they’re a very misunderstood dog and a misunderstood breed. And when I saw her in that video, literally crying in a cage, I cried. My kids cried. I showed my husband, and he said we could go look at her tomorrow.”

The next morning, Shelton’s family was first in line to meet Cinnamon.

The whole family, including the children, were immediately in love with her. “It was love at first sight. She just kind of pulled at our heartstrings,” Shelton said. 

They filled out the paperwork, and as soon as Cinnamon – now known as Rosie – was spayed, they brought her home.

The family already had another dog at home – a 3-year-old Pitbull male named Blu. 

At first, they weren’t sure if the two would get along, especially since Rosie had suffered a lot in her life, but she surprised everyone.

“It was interesting because you never know how it’s going to go, but they just kind of sat next to each other with tails wagging,” Shelton said.

The two are now the best of friends, and they enjoy each other’s company. It’s like they’ve known each other their whole life. 

As Rosie slowly got used to her new home and life, her personality also blossomed. According to the family, one of her most interesting characteristics is that “when she gets excited, she snorts like a pig”.

Rosie’s touching video not only secured her a new home, but it also helped many other dogs at the shelter find their forever home.

“Small acts have a big impact: Not only was this sweet dog, Cinnamon, adopted the next morning, but other families who came to adopt her saved other dogs at the shelter, freeing up kennels for strays and owner surrenders waiting in the back who would have certainly been euthanized as the shelter is full,” Sleime said. 

One simple video or a photo can reach millions of people and in a matter of seconds, change someone’s life.

Intriguing Mystery Items That Will Leave You Guessing

Have you ever discovered anything ancient and enigmatic that left you perplexed? Then you’re not by yourself! In the hopes of finding answers, people are posting images of mysterious things on social media platforms. We’ll dive into the world of mysteries today and examine ten intriguing objects that still elude us.

1. The Adaptable Wood and Metal Mysterium

Rusted old metal base. Wood floor and books in the background.

Our first item has baffled a lot of inquisitive minds. According to some hypotheses, it was originally employed as a woodcutter or to hold saddles. Some others think it might have served as a foundation for butter churns or washing machines. Remarkably, the wooden base of an antique high chair from the 1890s is comparable. But the mystery thing we’re talking about has wheels and is composed of metal, which suggests that it might be the foundation of an old-fashioned baby stroller. It’s unclear what exactly it was used for, but one thing is certain: it was quite adaptable!

2. A Goofy Mysterium Object

The specialists are even baffled by this next perplexing item. The box with the label, called the “Brevetto Ferrari 2,” has a crank outside and a grater within. After some speculation that it might be a cotton gin, the true use of the box—which is to grate cheese—was discovered by an auction house selling a comparable item! You will therefore be aware of its purpose if you ever come across one of these fascinating devices!

3. The Inexplicable Duo of Vases

Oftentimes, inherited goods are the most enigmatic. Both Theresa Goulette Crane and the readers were perplexed when she uploaded a photo of two porcelain or clay pots that she inherited. Their purpose is still unknown for the time being, despite their enigmatic and cool appearance.

Imagine finding a bag of yellow gunk inside a package that you opened. That is exactly what storm-singer, a Reddit user, experienced. Nobody could identify it until someone hypothesized that it might be air-dry clay used in crafts. The goo proved to be a delightful surprise that will give future Amazon orders a fresh level of mystery!

6. The Mysterious Little Green Box

Like this plastic dome covered in ivy, nature has a way of hiding mysteries. Underneath the dome, in a forested region, CrescentFraiche discovered a ring of blocks that looked like a well or a fire pit. But the real reason behind the dome’s construction is still unknown. Have you got any suggestions?

8. The Never-ending Doubt

This mysterious object was found in a used gym bag, but its function is still unknown. There are several theories on what it could be: a challenge coin, a sports card stand, or a cell phone clip. It only goes to demonstrate that even lifeless objects may occasionally keep us wondering.

The discovery of this T-shaped, metal object on the road has left Reddit user GuardianOfTheQuest somewhat perplexed. Some people surmised that it might be the Tesla logo, while others thought it might be a washer pawl or a motor component. We still don’t know this mysterious item’s true identify.
