A Labrador who waited more than 900 days to go to his forever home was returned to the shelter after just one day of being adopted.

Labrador retriever/pit bull mix Sora spent nearly three years at the  Valley Animal Shelter in California, but her tail was left wagging excitedly after finally finding her forever home recently.

However, just one day after leaving, the adoption was canceled and the poor pooch was returned.

The three-year-old’s sad story was posted on TikTok by Valley Animal on February 15, and has since garnered 1.6 million views while leaving dog-lovers around the globe ‘heartbroken.’

Sharing a video of Sora and another dog, Eros, who had also been returned swiftly, the shelter wrote: ‘Their tails wagged with hope as they were welcomed into their new home.

A spokesperson for the no-kill shelter said: ‘Sora is a sweet pup that has great energy. She is a perfect fit for any household with an active lifestyle’

‘However, after a short period of time, these shelter dogs found themselves back in their kennels.

‘They are still hopeful that somewhere out there is their furever home where they will be cherished as they deserve.’

The precious pooch has earned an army of fans while receiving dozens of offers from potential puppy parents.

One person wrote: ‘It takes six months for an animal to get used to a new home. This is absolute heartbreaking.’

Another commented, ‘We are the worst species ever… No pup deserves this,’ while a third devastated individual wrote, ‘Praying she finds her furever home soon.’

Offers swept in from hopeful candidates eager to begin the application process to adopt Sora, with one writing: ‘Where is this dog I will come get her that’s so sad.’

Another person pledged, ‘I swear to go we will adopt her where is this place at,’ while a third said, ‘To anyone willing to take this precious baby I will donate to any expense for travel for her.’

A spokesperson for the no-kill shelter said: ‘Sora is a sweet pup that has great energy. She is a perfect fit for any household with an active lifestyle.

‘Sora is the dog you want to take on long walks or bike rides; trust us, she can keep up.’

They added: ‘While we try our best to provide her with ample physical enrichment, it never seems to be enough. As you can imagine, this has taken a toll on her mental health and led her to develop anxious behaviours.

‘According to our certified dog trainer, Mariah Prudhume, if she was able to get her into a loving home, her mental health would dramatically improve.

‘With love and patience, she wouldn’t be the reactive dog she is today, and she would finally become the happy and goofy dog she is meant to be.’

It comes after Britain’s loneliest dog – a Staffordshire bull terrier named Duke – is still waiting to be adopted after spending nearly 500 days in a shelter.
