这只名叫Y.O.的狗在威肯堡动物保护协会生活了400天后被收养

It is unfortunate that dogs (among many other animals, in fact) often end up in shelters. Besides all of the stress and trauma that they have to live through after being abandoned or after having lived in the “wild” streets, being in a shelter doesn’t guarantee a happily-ever-after ending. But at least it tries its hardest to do so. And sometimes hard work pays off in heaps.

不幸的是，狗(事实上还有许多其他动物)经常被关进收容所。除了被遗弃或生活在“荒郊野外”的街道上所经历的所有压力和创伤，住在收容所并不能保证一个永远幸福的结局。但至少尽了最大努力去这样做。有时努力工作会得到成堆的回报。

Meet Lola, a former stray pooch and young mother of six who ended up in a shelter along with all of her offspring. But, after an impressive 400-plus days, she was finally adopted and now lives in her forever home in Mesa, Arizona.

来认识一下洛拉，她以前是一只流浪狗，现在是六个孩子的母亲，最后和她的孩子们一起来到了收容所。但是，在令人印象深刻的400多天后，她终于被收养了，现在她永远住在亚利桑那州梅萨的家中。

Meet Lola, the 2 Y.O. mommy doggy of 6 puppers who has ended up in an animal shelter over a year ago

来认识一下洛拉，这只2岁的小狗妈妈，有6只幼犬，一年前被送到了动物收容所

So, Lola was originally brought to the Humane Society of Wickenburg, Arizona over a year ago, in September of 2019, as a stray along with her litter of six puppies.

所以，罗拉最初是在一年多前，也就是2019年9月，作为一只流浪狗和她的六只幼犬被带到亚利桑那州威肯堡动物保护协会的。

She continued raising her puppies whilst in the shelter, and watched as each of them, one by one, were adopted as she patiently waited for her turn.

在收容所里，她继续养着她的小狗，耐心地等待轮到她的时候，她看着它们一个个被收养。

It does take a while for dogs to get adopted, and it’s around seven times longer when you consider dog years, so it does feel like an eternity for the pooch. But it doesn’t usually take as long as it did in Lola’s case.

狗狗被收养确实需要一段时间，考虑到狗狗的年龄，这段时间大约要长七倍，所以对狗狗来说，这确实是一段很长的时间。但通常不会像洛拉的案子那样花那么长的时间。

Nobody thought she would end up staying there for over 400 days—much more than most other dogs!

没有人想到她会在那里待上400多天——比大多数狗都要多!

But after a long wait, Lola was transferred to another shelter and was adopted within less than 24 hours

但经过长时间的等待，洛拉被转移到另一个避难所，不到24小时就被收养了

To many people’s surprise, Lola spent over 400 days in the shelter. In our terms, that’s more than a year, and in Lola’s terms, that is over half of her current lifetime!

让很多人吃惊的是，洛拉在避难所呆了400多天。用我们的话说，那超过了一年，用洛拉的话说，那超过了她现在生命的一半!

Along with her were 6 of her puppies, who were one-by-one adopted during her stay at the shelter

和她一起的还有6只小狗，它们是她在收容所期间被一个接一个收养的

After these 400-plus days, she made her way to Phoenix, Arizona to try her luck getting adopted. Thanks to the Arizona Humane Society’s (AHS) Project Reachout Program, an initiative launched to help save as many pets’ lives as possible by working together with other shelters, Lola was finally transferred to another shelter where she was adopted in under 24 hours.

过了400多天，她来到了亚利桑那州的凤凰城，想碰碰运气被人收养。多亏了亚利桑那动物保护协会的“救助计划”，这是一项旨在通过与其他收容所合作来拯救尽可能多的宠物生命的倡议，洛拉终于在24小时内被转移到另一个收容所，并在那里被收养。

Now, shelters aren’t legally obligated to keep animals for more than 1–7 days, depending on the state

现在，根据各州的情况，动物收容所没有法律义务饲养动物超过1-7天

But the Arizona Humane Society kept her for over 400 days until she finally got adopted last week

但亚利桑那州动物保护协会将她养了400多天，直到上周它终于被收养

And this worked out for the best as this also meant that she got adopted and will continue living her life together with her new forever family in Mesa, Arizona.

这是最好的结果，因为这也意味着她被收养了，并将继续和她在亚利桑那州梅萨的新家生活在一起。

A very social dog all around, it was a complete mystery why she was given the short end of the stick when it came to adoption. Luckily, the relocation solved the problem!

她是一只非常善于社交的狗，但当它被人收养时，为什么遭到了不公平的对待，这真是个谜。幸运的是，重新定位解决了这个问题!
