Although Kabuki had been a member of the man\u2019s family for over 3 years, he met a new girl and when her dogs were not getting along with Kabuki. He was handed an ultimatum and he chose the girlfriend and her dogs over Kabuki.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>She was also featured on a FOX19 segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox19.com\/clip\/14290836\/save-the-animals-foundation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check out the video<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petfinder.com\/dog\/kabuki-39250816\/oh\/cincinnati\/save-the-animals-foundation-oh426\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More about Kabuki&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gradyvet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/dog-spunkie.jpeg\" alt=\"5 Great Shelter Dogs Who Want to Come Home\" class=\"wp-image-449\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spunkie: Doesn&#8217;t Let His Disability Get Him Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Best smile in the shelter!
