From the moment shelter dogs move into their tiny kennels, they begin to dream of finding humans who will give them what their hearts desire: love.
Steven Tyler, a Pit Bull Terrier, began believing in his biggest dream after a good Samaritan found him wandering around a high school and called for help.
Even though he was shy and uncertain after arriving at Bradshaw Animal Shelter In Sacramento, California, Steven Tyler quickly became familiar with the shelter staff and became their favorite puppy.
The dog’s heart soared with the hope that he would meet a loving family who would cherish him as he deserved.
Longing for love
Steven Tyler began spending hours staring out his kennel window and resting his chin on the windowsill.
Eyes full of desire, the puppy waited for someone to give him a chance.
Unfortunately, months passed and the dog remained in its usual place.
Even though no one adopted him, the doggie was not discouraged. His hope of realizing his greatest dream was unwavering.
Steven Tyler’s heart was full of love. When he wasn’t waiting by the window, the dog was cuddling with his best dog friend and kennel mate, Helga Hufflepuff.
The shelter staff were delighted with his loving personality and couldn’t understand why Steven Tyler remained at the shelter.
They were heartbroken because no one seemed to notice the dog’s attempts to find a forever home.
The dog’s human friends knew they had to give him a helping hand.
They posted a poignant video of Steven Tyler on their social media that shows the dog waiting patiently by his window for his forever humans to appear.
“…We thought if we could show more people what we saw, someone would fall in love with it like we did,” Luna Anona, public information officer for Sacramento County Animal Protective Services/Bradshaw Animal Shelter, said: PEOPLE.
The video melted the hearts of many people on the shelter’s social media platforms, and they began to encourage Steven Tyler to find his happily ever after.
Dog’s biggest wish comes true
An amazing family who discovered this heartbreaking message fell in love with the adorable pup. They came to the shelter to adopt Steven Tyler the same day the video was shared.
When the dog saw the family coming to meet him, his face lit up.
He knew that the humans he was waiting for had finally found him.
After the dog said goodbye to the loving shelter staff, he walked out of the shelter with a big smile on his face.
The attention Steven Tyler received on the Internet led to another adoption.
A wonderful woman came to the shelter to adopt him, but since the dog had already found his forever home, the sweet human decided to adopt his best friend, Helga Hufflepuff.
Once Steven Tyler moved into his forever home, he quickly bonded with his little humans and his four-legged sisters, Daisy and Tahoe. He loves to cuddle them and absorb their love.
Her family is immensely happy to have her in their lives.
“It’s a gem. He got along with our dog immediately and is SO good with our kids. He is sweet and affectionate and feels like he has been there forever. It fits our family perfectly. the shelter shared his family’s update in a post on Facebook.
The charming pooch, who changed his name to Donner, is living his best life.
Donner and her four-legged sisters often share sweet and heartwarming moments from their daily lives on their Instagram account.
Thank you to the Sacramento shelter for helping the puppy realize his biggest dream and to his forever family for giving him the fairy tale he deserved.
