Staff at the Carson Shelter videotaped the moment that a pitbull “realized” he was getting adopted – and the precious reaction definitely pulls at your heartstrings.
The pitbull, who is named Benny, first came into the Carson Animal Care Center when he was only eight months old.
However, Benny’s luck turned around when a family came in and decided to adopt him.
The anonymous family provided him a forever home, and the moment that Benny walked out of his kennel to freedom was a sweet one that was caught on camera by staff members.
The Saving Carson Shelter Dogs accompanied the heartwarming video with the caption, “This special little guy captured the hearts of everyone who stopped by his kennel. He hit the jackpot when this beautiful family chose to take him home.
Thanks for all you SHARING, checkout his FREEDOM WALK filled with lots of jumps and tail wagging! Happy life sweet BENNY.”
At first, Benny seems a little cautious. However, the moment he realized that he had been adopted, his tail began to wag non-stop. And to add to the happiness of the moment, Benny then began to repeatedly jump for joy.
It has also gotten over 3.4 comments – many of which are from people wishing Benny all the best in his new home or thanking his new family for taking him in.
There were also plenty of people who took the time to reiterate the importance of adoption – which, after seeing the video, makes a very powerful case for it.

On a weekly basis, his family would drive by to give him some kibble. Roscoe kept his hope alive, even when his food and water ran out and hoped that he would be saved one day.
Things took a turn for the worse when the snow started to fall in Illinois. Suddenly, the dog wondered if he would make it until the morning.
As it turns out, someone was watching over the pup. A citizen called the Effingham County Animal Control and Shelter and reported what was happening with the little dog.
Officer Vanessa Skavlem and Warden Michelle Shoot didn’t waste any time.
“They called us because it had just snowed the night before, and for southern Illinois, it was a large amount of snow and super cold,” Skavlem told The Dodo. “He was just shivering to death because he was less than 10 pounds.”
When Roscoe saw the officers arrive, he knew his troubles were over.
“He was just so happy to see us, he came running out,” Skavlem said.
Roscoe was wrapped in a blanket and taken to the car. It was the first time he was warm in weeks.
Roscoe was overjoyed: “He was just so happy, you could tell,” Skavlem added. “He would just whine over and over and over.”
They fed the pup some biscuits and gravy and then Roscoe relaxed into his rescuer’s arms.
Skavlem took a picture of the dog resting and posted it to Facebook with the caption:
“We have a heated environment in there, and he has all his little blankies,” Skavlem said. “When he comes into the office, he’s so happy he wiggles and jumps up on you.”
Roscoe still whines when his rescuers are around, just to let them know he is still happy. “He does this adorable whine that’s almost as if he’s talking to you,” Skavlem said. “You know, it just feels like he has emotions and he’s grateful.”
Phoebe the fox cub was found in a box in Leeds, while two baby badgers were found at the roadside.
A blossoming friendship between Phoebe, an abandoned baby fox cub, and two orphaned badgers has astounded animal lovers after an animal sanctuary in Whitby put the unlikely new family together.
Staff were stumped when they were brought a tiny two-month-old fox cub to take care of, but unusually, they had no other foxes to place her with.
The sanctuary was not keen to have Phoebe rely on humans for food and support so staff came up with a radical idea - to see if she could form a friendship with two orphaned badgers.
Phoebe the fox was discovered alone and petrified in a cardboard box in Leeds, while nearby, two small badger cubs were found wandering in the street in Meltham,
West Yorkshire.
Phoebe's family was never found but an adult badger believed to be Betty and Bella's mother was found dead in a road nearby.
The tiny fox and the badgers were separately taken to Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary in North Yorkshire where staff decided to place all three together.
Badgers and foxes avoid each other in the wild, but the trio of two-month-old cubs, have found solace in one another's company.
Under the watchful eye of chief executive Alexandra Farmer they are thriving.
She said: 'Foxes and badgers would never mix in the wild, in fact they tend to keep out of each other's way.
'But these three were wild animals without their mothers, all of a similar size and we thought we could place them together as long as we kept a close eye on them.
'We have been delighted to see they have bonded extremely well, it's been lovely to see them feeding, sleeping and even playing together.'
