Video of Man's Kind Gesture Toward Shelter Dog Who Is Losing Hope Is So Moving

He gives extra affection to dogs who are really struggling.

There are many dogs available for adoption across the country, and we hate to see these pup wallowing in shelters hoping for someone to adopt them. Many times, these dogs begin to lose hope that they will find their forever home. One man is trying to keep the faith alive for the pups at his local shelter with kind gestures.

TikTok user @rockykanakaofficial recently shared a video of a German Shepherd puppy named Penny who is currently at Animal Friends of the Valley, a shelter in Wildomar, California. In the video, Penny seems to be losing hope that she will find her forever home, so this man spends time with the pup to cheer her up. Check out the video to see what happens when she is shown some love and attention!
