A dog named Bing, who has been waiting for a permanent home at the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) in Tucson, Arizona, has made headlines after a recent DNA test revealed that he is a father. The nine-year-old dog has been at PACC since 2023, spending the last year in a foster home where he has shown his affectionate and playful nature.
Bing’s foster family describes him as “goofy” and full of personality, enjoying activities like snuggling on the couch and running around the house with a toy in his mouth. Despite his charming demeanor, Bing has faced challenges in finding a forever home. He is reactive to other dogs, which means he requires a household where he can be the only pet.
In a surprising twist, a DNA test donated to PACC confirmed that Bing has a son named Casper, who was adopted from the same center earlier this year. This revelation has sparked renewed interest in Bing’s adoption prospects, as potential owners may find the connection to Casper appealing.
Unfortunately, the foster family currently caring for Bing is moving away in September 2024, creating a sense of urgency for finding him a suitable home. They hope Bing’s newfound status as a father will encourage families to consider adopting him before their departure.
Foster families play a crucial role in helping shelter animals adjust to life outside the confines of a kennel. Since living with his foster family, Bing has reportedly flourished, demonstrating that he is ready to become a beloved companion to a new family.
Anyone interested in adopting Bing can reach out to the Pima Animal Care Center for more information. With his affectionate nature and unique backstory, Bing could be the perfect addition to a loving home.
