A Kansas animal shelter got a new arrival this week — one that walks on two legs.

Animal advocate Scott Poore decided to move into the Great Plains SPCA shelter in Merriam — and plans to stay there until one of his favorite shelter dogs is adopted.

Since Tuesday, Poore has been settling into his new 10-by-7-foot quarters with his hairy roommate, Queen, a 3-year-old terrier mix, local outlet KSHB reported.

“One of my favorite shelter dogs in Kansas City is Queen,” Poore said in a video posted to the Facebook page for his organization, Mission Driven Goods, which helps homeless pets. “You guys all know her. We love her. She’s been here for over 400 days. We’re not having luck finding her a forever home, so I am committed to helping her.”

Poore has been working with shelters and outreach groups for years, with a special focus on pets like Queen, who have been repeatedly passed over by potential adopters.

“I tend to work exclusively with the shelter pets that have lived in the buildings the longest, literally the ones that are becoming forgotten, those are the ones that I really want to help the most,” he told KSHB.

Poore, of Kansas City, said he has no plans to leave until Queen does — with her new family.

“She loves playing tug-of-war, she loves stuffed animals, she loves playing catch with the tennis ball,” he told the station. “I mean, honestly, she’s looking for a human best friend.”

Queen is looking for a pet-free home with no children under 8 years old.

More information about her is available on the Great Plains SPCA website.
