Sadie, a rescued Siberian Husky pup from Tacoma Humane Society in Washington DC, now thrives in her new loving home after being found severely underweight.
A heartwarming moment unfolded as a mother-of-two captured her children meeting their new dog for the first time. Sadie, a once-stray Siberian Husky pup, found a loving home after being rescued by the Tacoma Humane Society in Washington DC. Shayla Davis, enchanted by Sadie during a shelter visit, eagerly awaited the day she could adopt her. Finally, on October 18, after a week of anticipation, Shayla received the news she had been waiting for. Overjoyed, she surprised her kids by collecting them early from school to bring Sadie home.
In the heartwarming video, six-year-old Gabriel and eight-year-old Brooklyn eagerly await the arrival of Sadie, led through the door by her handler. Calm anticipation transforms into sheer joy as they lock eyes with Sadie for the first time. Gabriel jumps with happiness, while Brooklyn clasps her hands to her face, moved to tears.
The integration of Sadie into the Davis family was seamless, as further touching footage captures Brooklyn and Sadie playing tug-of-war on the sofa. Reflecting on the past month, devoted mom Shayla expresses no regrets about welcoming Sadie into their home.
She shares, ‘Having Sadie for a month now, I’m so grateful I rescued her. She’s formed a special bond with our other one-year-old dogs, and she’s found a fur-ever home with us. Revisiting the video fills my heart with joy, witnessing the special bond my children share with her.’
The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County faced a capacity challenge earlier this year, reaching full capacity after taking in 460 animals in just one month. In July, due to the influx of animals, staff had to resort to temporary crates and housing two to three dogs in single kennels simultaneously, as they encountered ‘several crisis situations’ caused by multiple litters of kittens and a constant influx of animals.
