Moment captured when shelter dog realizes he's being adopted

A rescue dog from the Carson Shelter in Gardena, California, will have you laughing and crying once you see his reaction when he realizes he was getting adopted.

Staff at the Carson Shelter recorded on video the moment that a pitbull named Benny found out he was going to his new forever home.

The pitbull was only eight months old when he first came into the Carson Animal Care Center.

Benny’s days, like other dogs in shelters, seemed bleak and boring but luck turned in his favor when a family came for a visit, saw him, and decided to adopt him.

“This special little guy captured the hearts of everyone who stopped by his kennel. He hit the jackpot when this beautiful family chose to take him home. Thanks for all you SHARING, checkout his FREEDOM WALK filled with lots of jumps and tail wagging! Happy life sweet BENNY.”

Benny seemed a little cautious at first and that’s pretty much understandable given his situation.

But as soon as he realizes what’s going on, his tail begins to wag non-stop. In fact he is so happy, Benny starts jumping up and down!

No words can describe this dog and his realization of getting to live his days full of love and joy.

One YouTube viewer commented,

Benny is a beautiful boy and I’m so glad he found people who appreciated and loved him! I know he’ll always be a great loving companion and friend to them and they’ll never regret taking him home. I hope the other animals get that lucky too!”

Let’s hope this video raises awareness regarding animal adoptions. Homes are so much brighter with lovely pets!

Dogs are sentient creatures who can feel and express emotions. Nothing is sweeter than watching moments like these when a dog in a shelter gets to walk out once again.

To walk out because someone wanted to love them and bring them home.

Benny deserves all the hugs, kisses, treats, and toys his heart desires. He is telling you to adopt and not to shop!
