Canines can trace their roots back to wolves and thrive in social groups. Although they’ve been domesticated, dogs still require a “pack” to belong to, which is usually in the form of a human family. Adopting a dog is always a thrilling experience since they’ve finally found their pack. It’s particularly touching when dogs are rescued from shelters and find loving homes. The excitement is heightened when a dog has spent an extended amount of time at a shelter before being adopted.
Paco, a Pitbull breed and an American Staffordshire Terrier, had been residing in the shelter for almost a year since he was considered an adult dog. Unfortunately, no one took an interest in adopting him until a couple came along. It took 270 long days of waiting for Paco to finally find his forever family. When his new father arrived to take him home, Paco was overjoyed and could not contain his excitement. Initially, he didn’t understand what was happening when he saw the shelter employees and his new father approaching his enclosure. But as soon as his new dad reached out to grab him through the rails, Paco realized he was finally going to his forever home.
The excitement was palpable as he awaited this long-awaited day. His anticipation had been building for what felt like an eternity, so who could blame him for being unable to contain his enthusiasm? Despite their attempts to get him to calm down, he was thrilled to finally be moving in with his permanent family!
Finally, he would no longer be alone, as he was now destined to live with a family that had vowed to love and care for him every day for the rest of his life. For Pitbulls or Pitbull breeds living in shelters, life can be quite challenging. Unfortunately, there are many myths and misconceptions surrounding this breed, making it exceedingly difficult for them to find their forever homes.
Nonetheless, individuals who have an understanding and appreciation for Pitbull breeds actively seek to adopt them and provide them with a loving home. One such instance is that of Paco, who found a new family after leaving the shelter. Since then, Paco has been showered with love and care, even during the difficult and anxious times. It is often believed that once an animal is adopted into a permanent family, everything falls seamlessly into place. However, there are several aspects that social media fails to depict, such as the initial phase of adjustment that the animal goes through while settling into their new surroundings. Additionally, there may be days when the animal falls ill and requires extra attention from their family.
Sometimes, these furry creatures can make quite a mess in their adoptive family’s house. However, despite the ups and downs, their new family always chooses to shower them with love and care. Check out the video below to witness Paco’s heartwarming reaction when his father came to visit him on the day of his adoption. Don’t forget to share this heartwarming moment with your loved ones!
