Dogs React to Finding Out They’re Adopted—Their Faces Say It All!
There comes a time in every young dog’s life when they have to learn the truth. Though their humans take amazing care of them and treat them like their babies, they were once puppies with a dog mom, and their humans adopted them!
In this hilarious TikTok trend, dog parents are breaking the news to their fur babies that they didn’t give birth to them but adopted them instead. Shocked, confused, and sometimes hilariously indignant, these dogs’ reactions to the news have had me rolling with laughter.

The most common reaction is confusion; what did my human just say to me? A few other dogs take things further and even talk back, insisting their humans can’t be serious. One Siberian Husky in particular really tells his human off for even suggesting he isn’t her biological child!

Akira, a beautiful black Pitbull wearing a very fashionable rainbow pearl collar, went from playing to serious when her mom told her she was adopted. Just look at that slow mouth close—how hilarious! Luckily, she probably went right back to playing with her toys after this.

This super cute long-haired Dachshund has a similar reaction—he just can’t believe it, and his expression looks like he is reconsidering his entire life. Don’t worry little guy, once the shock wears off, you’ll remember family is what you make it.
Of course, telling your dog they’re adopted is good news! Dog adoption is one of the most powerful ways to address the pet overpopulation crisis, and choosing to adopt a dog rather than buy from a breeder is usually the best option. Even if you have to have that awkward conversation with your dog letting them know they were adopted, becoming an adoptive dog parent is rewarding beyond measure!
