Dog Dad Spending a Full Day With a South Carolina Shelter Pup Is Melting Hearts

According to the ASPCA, there are about 6.3 million animals that enter shelters each year. But with only 4.2 million getting adopted, these shelters are hitting their limits. The overcrowding in shelters is making it difficult for employees to give all animals the attention they deserve.

Luckily, there are volunteers like TikTok user @aguyandagolden who come in to give these shelter animals a break from the noise and small confined areas. This TikToker gave one of the South Carolina shelter dogs a fun-filled day and it's melting hearts.

Aww, this is the type of content we love to see! We know Athena had the best day ever - toys, puppuccinos, treats. What more could a pup want?! The only thing that would make this clip complete is knowing that sweet Athena got adopted and that she gets to have days like this all the time in her forever home.

We know that adopting an animal is a big commitment, but we promise you that it will be the best decision you've ever made. For starters, adopting from a shelter is a lot cheaper than buying from a breeder. Plus, in no time at all these pets become your best friend. They're great listeners and cuddle partners. You won't have to worry about crumbs on the floor or if there will be anyone to watch a movie with because they'll always be your binge-watching buddy. And let's not forget that an adopted dog will give you unconditional love because you essentially saved them.

If you're interested in adopting Athena, or one of the many residents at this South Carolina shelter, please visit the PAWS website for more information. Let's get these precious angels home ASAP!
