When He Finds Out He’s Finally Going Home.. His Excitement Warms My Heart

As an animal lover and an owner of a shelter dog myself, nothing warms my heart more than seeing a shelter dog being adopted.

For every shelter dog, the idea of finding their forever home where they can finally be free again is a dream. On December 10th, 2015, the dream came true for Benny when he was taken home and loved ever since. As you will see in the video not even Benny could believe he was going home.

Carson Animal Care center is an animal shelter based in Los Angeles, CA. For many dogs this is but a pit stop until their home, but not all dogs are so lucky. Due to a lack of proper funding and too many animals, the shelter is unfortunately high-kill. This means that they euthanize many of the pets that come through the door if they’re not adopted quickly.

For breeds like pit bulls, this is can be bad because they often take a little bit longer to find loving homes due to the stigma that pit bulls are inherently dangerous. No matter how many articles come out showing how loving and caring they can be.

In the beginning of the video, you can see that Benny is very much scared of being in the shelter, but you can also see that he’s a very sweet and loving dog.point 217 |

Benny sat at the Carson Animal shelter for weeks and it seemed like all hope was lost. Everyday he watched countless families walk right past his kennel and numerous other dogs get adopted while he waited patiently. Benny didn’t understand why no one gave him a chance to show his true colors..

If that warmed your heart, make sure you see a video of a woman, Maria Sanchez, showing that Cruz, a previously abused pit bull, wasn’t as aggressive as everyone made him seem. With just a little bit of attention, she coaxes this dog out of his shell.
