Reason Rescue Puppy Always 'Full of Paint' Melts Hearts Online
A puppy named Zora has melted hearts all over the internet after a video showing how "in love" she is with a painter doing work in her house went viral on social media.
The video was shared on TikTok on Saturday by the dog's foster family, under the username Saracarstens. The rescue pup can be seen jumping all over the painter, asking to be stroked, while getting paint all over her fur.
The heartwarming post comes with a caption that reads: "Our new rescue puppy is in love with our painter." All through the video, the poster can be heard saying: "She loves you. Wow! Are you full of paint? Are you a painter dog?"
Later, the poster also explained that the puppy has been adopted and will have a new family soon. Zora, a mixed Labrador retriever breed, was rescued from the streets.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), around 3.1 million companion dogs enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. About 710,000 dogs who enter shelters as strays are returned to their owners, and around 2 million shelter canines are adopted annually.
Moreover, each year, around 390,000 shelter dogs are euthanized but, recently, the number has declined. This is thanks to an increase in the percentage of animals adopted and in the number of stray animals successfully returned to their owners.
