The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Georgetown, Texas, is doing its best to find the would-be adopter of a shepherd mix named Guinness whose "missed connection" resulted in an extended stay at the shelter.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Guinness was given a platform to reach out to the "nice blonde lady" who took him on a walk last week, and later returned to the shelter to pick him up. Sadly, he wasn't there.

“MISSED CONNECTION: We were at the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter last Wednesday or Thursday,” the post said. “You were a lovely blonde woman who was thinking of adopting. I, a loving Shepherd mix. We went for a lovely walk. You needed to think about it. (Something I really respect.) When you came for me on Saturday, I was not at the shelter. The post-it you wrote your number on got lost…so now I’m reaching out. Dear nice blonde lady - if you still want to adopt me - I’m here. Love, Guinness.”
