This Shelter Dog’s Reaction to Finally Getting Adopted Is Priceless
Behind every desperate pair of eyes at the shelter is a dog with a simple dream: to have a family to call their own. Every shelter pup longs for the day they’ll say goodbye to the cold concrete floors of their kennel and welcome the warmth of a loving home.
There are those who wait for days. Others, months. Some, even years. But through it all, their hearts flicker every day with the faint hope that someone will fall in love with them through the bars of their kennels and choose them. So when this dream finally comes true, it’s just impossible for them to remain calm.

Internet users can’t get enough of a viral TikTok video capturing the heartwarming reactions of six dogs upon realizing they’ve been adopted, and we have a feeling that your eyes, too, will well up with happy tears.
“Is This Real? Am I Finally Going Home?”
The touching video — posted TikTok account @metdaan.animal — shows each dog bursting with excitement when they hear the good news that they’ve finally been adopted. Happy whimpers fill the air, some jump and spin with pure joy, others wag their tails so hard in all directions, and some bark in utter happiness as though saying “Am I really going to my forever home?”
As soon as their kennel door swings open, each dog runs at top speed into the arms of their adopters, ready to embark on their new chapter of life. After several days, months, or maybe years of waiting and wondering whether true love would ever locate them, the truth finally settled in at that moment: They were loveable. They were chosen. They were going to a loving home — for good.
The uncontainable excitement of these lovely pups is enough proof that landing a forever home means everything to a shelter dog, whether big, small, young, or old.
Give a Shelter Dog a Chance
Every pup at the shelter knows the sting of loneliness that comes with being without a home. It’s for this reason that these dogs don’t ask for much — all they want is to be part of a family that will treat them with love and kindness.
When you offer a shelter dog a home, you’re giving them the one thing that they’ve been waiting for their whole life. What they offer in return out of gratitude, though, is immeasurable. Shelter dogs love fiercely because giving them a home when no one else did makes you the best thing that ever happened to them. So, if you’re thinking of getting a furry friend, give a shelter pup a chance.
“If you are ready to open your heart and home to a furry friend, consider adopting a dog from a local shelter or rescue. This will not only give a deserving dog a second chance at life, but it will also bring a lifetime of joy and love to your family,” pet rescue advocate Rocky Kanaka says.
