James was in the hospital for a long time, and when he got out, he went to the shelter to get his dogs back. However, the shelter had already given the dogs up for adoption according to their policy. Even though Bailey and Blaze were still available for adoption, James didn’t have enough money to pay the $250 adoption fee to get them back.

James was unable to afford the adoption fee due to losing his savings during his hospitalization. In order to gather the funds, he decided to sell his car. Upon learning of James’ situation, the staff came together to assist him by contributing $5-$10 each until there was enough money to cover the fee.
