The staff at High Plains Humane Society (HPHS) of New Mexico have always dedicated themselves to the plight of the unwanted strays and rescue dogs.
They often take photos of shelter dogs and share them on social media to give them more visibility among pet-lovers.

In one of their trips to an associate shelter, the volunteers of HPHS captured the photo of a devastated puppy.
The heart-breaking picture captures the puppy as she looks on through her cage, hoping that someone will pick her and give her a nice home.
As the HPHS shared this picture on social media, the hearts of pet-lovers around the world were crushed. The dog’s solemn, defeated eyes were enough for people to pour in with adoption requests.

Among the many applications, a woman was chosen as the forever companion for the dog, and, in her new home, the dog turned into a happy baby in no time.
We are overjoyed with this new development! We hope every dog in every shelter finds the loving caring homes that they deserve.

10 Of The “Most Loyal” Dog Breeds On The Planet
Giving love and support to humans is something that some dogs do better than others.
While many dogs love everyone they meet and are willing to take treats or belly rubs from anyone, the pups we found are just the opposite.
These 10 dogs are some of the most loyal breeds on the planet. They are rock steady in their loyalty to their owner no matter what.
1) Akita
When the American Kennel Club (AKC) lists loyalty to describe the temperament of the Akita, you know they mean business. The beautiful double-coated working dog of Japanese ancestry is considered hardwired in protecting those she loves. They should be socialized with other dogs and people from the time they are puppies. Their silly, fun, but dignified personalities round out the loyal Akita.

3) Skye Terrier
Known as the “small dog with the big ears,” this adorable breed hails from the Scottish Isle of Skye, hence the name. Whether you live in the city or the country, this small dog with a big personality is steadfast in snuggling, playtime, and remaining loyal to his owners.

4) Beagle
This merry hound is friendly, curious and incredibly loyal. While he doesn’t mind the occasional couch potato time, this spunky pooch is energetic and merry. A fun fact about this hound: the breed standard is for 13 inches and under and another in the 13-15 inch category. No matter how you size him, these adorable dogs just want to cling to you.

5) Shar-Pei
This wrinkly non-sporting breed is standoffish to strangers but very loyal to his owner. His ancient Chinese roots are part of the charm of the Shar-Pei. Regal, strong, and smart, if you want a BFF for life, this loose-skinned pooch may be the right choice for you.
