Mama Dog’s Reaction To Being Adopted After Years of Forced Breeding Will Have You In Tears
Adoptions are the highlight of the day for shelter dogs and shelter employees/volunteers alike. Seeing a dog leave the shelter’s doors for the final time to go to their forever home is the ultimate reward of rescue work and an unforgettable moment for the dogs and their new adoptive families.
Gabby’s moment for this joyous occasion finally came after four years of being used for her puppies. A sweet, little, fluffy mixed-breed dog, Gabby was once a breeder dog who birthed countless puppies for her owner to profit from. After finally being brought to a shelter where she could be spayed and rehabilitated, Gabby found the perfect family to give her the life she always deserved!
Filmed by a shelter volunteer on the day of her adoption, Gabby was sent off to her new home with words of encouragement, and so were many other dogs that week. Some were exuberant and practically dragging their new humans out of the shelter while other dogs were more timid but so excited to be headed on a new journey.

Dog Adoption Can Be Scary—But It’s So Worth It
“Ready? I know it’s gonna be scary but it’s gonna be okay,” says a volunteer filming a beautiful Standard Poodle in a shelter kennel. “You got yourself a forever home! These are the nicest people I have ever met.”
Adopting a dog is a big commitment, and it can feel daunting to suddenly have a new family member. As nerve-wracking as it can be on the human end of things, dogs can also feel stressed and afraid during the process of adoption. Even so, adopting a dog is an incredibly worthwhile experience if you want to own a dog.
Remember to take things slow when you first bring your new dog home. Give them plenty of space and time to adjust to their new surroundings and avoid pushing them too hard to try new things during the first few days. Every dog is different, and some can take weeks or even months to open up entirely while others will be confident right off the bat. Becoming a family is a big process for everyone, so be patient with yourself and your new dog.
If you want to adopt a dog and are ready for the commitment, take this as your sign to visit your local shelter and start meeting pups looking for homes.
