Last month, we shared the story of the young Lab mix, Sisu, who tried five separate times to steal the same unicorn from a Dollar General in North Carolina. People all over the country were touched by Animal Control Officer Samantha Lane’s kindness of purchasing the purple unicorn for him. Never mind Sisu’s adorable habit of snuggling up with and carrying the unicorn wherever he went!

Sisu and Officer Lane’s story even inspired others to perform small acts of kindness of their own. Lynchburg Jewelry and Loan, a retail business in Virginia, decided to donate 50 purple unicorn dog toys to the Lynchburg Humane Society. Their hope was that families would see the adoptable dogs loving their toys, like they saw Sisu, and fall in love with and adopt them. They even sponsored some of the adoptable animals by covering their adoption fees.

While it was previously thought that Sisu had already been placed with a family, he hasn’t yet found his forever home. Shortly after Officer Lane escorted him to Duplin County Animal Services, Sisu was sent to Lab Rescue LRCP. A non-profit, virtual organization that rescues, fosters, and finds forever homes for Labrador Retrievers in the mid-Atlantic states. The rescue pups are fostered in the homes of volunteers as they await their forever families.

On the way to his temporary foster home, Sisu made a short stop at the same Dollar General where he had attempted unicorn theft. snip
