The SPCA took him back, but the once-hopeful dog was visibly affected by his loss.
“For over a year he lived the best life,” the Pennsylvania SPCA shared in a heartfelt Facebook post. “And then things changed again. His loving owner passed away, and Cake Batter ended up back at the shelter.”
Now, over a year since his return to the shelter, Cake Batter is still waiting for someone to give him a second chance.
Despite his efforts to stay positive, it’s clear that the long wait is taking its toll on him.
“While Cake Batter is still his happy self when you talk to him and take him outside, he seems to be somewhat depressed,” a Pennsylvania SPCA representative told The Dodo.

“He very often lays at the back of his kennel. While we will never know what he is thinking, it seems like he’s dreaming of another place. He will of course get up to greet you when you kneel down. He will wag his tail, but he is getting older, and the time is ticking.”
Despite his challenges, the fourleg frined remains a loving and loyal companion.
He has plenty of love to give and would thrive in a home where he can be the only pet.
While he’s great with older children, he would do best in a family without small kids.
“Cakey loves his people,” the SPCA representative added. “He is very happy and just wants to be with them.”
The SPCA staff are hopeful that dog’s days in the shelter are numbered.
They know that he has the potential to be someone’s best friend. They are eager to see him find the loving, safe home he deserves.
“My biggest hope is that someone will love him as much as we all do,” the representative expressed. “He deserves the world, and that is all we want for him. A loving, safe home.”
Cake Batter’s story is one of resilience, love, and the heartbreaking reality that even the most deserving animals can face incredible challenges. Yet, there is hope.
Cake Batter is ready to share his love with a new family, and the Pennsylvania SPCA is determined to help him find his perfect match.
However, Cake Batter could find a forever home and a happy ending!
