Rescue dogs are some of the most resilient creatures on earth. They juggle between different environments and never lose their ability to survive. Not to mention, they remember to return love if they are treated with kindness and patience. A TikTok video shared by @all_deez_animals shows one such shelter dog, Mia. The six-year-old canine spends a night away from her shelter in a home, igniting hope from netizens for Mia’s adoption.
Dog who has lived nearly 4 years in shelter gets to do sleepover in a home
In the short TikTok video, Mia’s eyes exude hope, as if she is looking forward to finding a home soon. The video’s creator — and Mia’s volunteer — shows Mia in her element as she enjoys a sleepover outside her kennel. Though the video claims she has gotten used to the kennel, the dog enjoys her time outside of it. Hence, the volunteers occasionally take her outside and watch her have the time of her life.
According to the video and its caption, though the shelter dog takes her sweet time to warm up to people, she seemingly enjoys belly rubs and cuddling. Once she opens up, her affectionate nature compensates for her initial shyness. Additionally, the clip highlights her comfort in a domestic setting, capturing her getting cozy and enjoying a quiet companionship.
Her rescue shelter, where she has spent four years of her life, is limited. It gives her little chance to expose herself to domestic life. As per the video, the usually reserved dog can be gentle and loving once the volunteer earns her trust and love. Moreover, she accepts love with ease once offered with the rare glimpse of a homely life.
Mia is one but one of various rescue dogs who spend their lives waiting for a home. Fortunately, rescue homes and content creators bring a wide audience hoping for potential adoption. Mia’s video gained traction on the social media platform where multiple users shared their experiences with rescue animals. They also encouraged Mia and hoped she would find her permanent home soon.
