When a dog named Queen at his local shelter couldn't get adopted for over a year, Scott Poore decided to move in with her until she could move out.
Every day for the past year, local Kansas City animal advocate Scott Poore has visited a three-year-old terrier mix named Queen at a shelter near his home. Queen was found by animal rescue officers living behind a dumpster and had several medical issues that prevented her from being adopted right away.
Day in and day out, Poore would return to the SPCA to find Queen still there. After noticing that Queen was beginning to decline from her extensive shelter stay, the 45-year-old knew it was time to do something big to find Queen a home.Poore asked the Great Plains SPCA CEO, Tam Singer if he could move into the animal shelter with Queen and document the experience to help find her a suitable family. As crazy as the idea seemed, Singer signed off on the plan immediately, calling it “fantastic.
“Queen loves having people around. She is so lovable and affectionate,” Poore says laughing. “She gets up in the middle of the night and wants to play with the tennis ball or play tug-of-war.” Poore even started a clothing line called Mission Driven so he could sustain volunteering at the animal shelters full time, free of charge. But this bold campaign may be his craziest — and most successful — one yet, garnering attention nationwide after documenting his stay at the shelter on Facebook.
While the shelter has yet to officially find Queen a “forever home,” Singer and Poore report that they’ve had some promising candidates come through the shelter. Poore insists that his own home — where he already has a “very special” dog —isn’t the right place, but he knows that one is right around the corner.
