Dog Stuck At Shelter Can’t Hide Happiness After The Most Unexpected Reunion Ever

Dogs are a species that has largely become dependent on humans throughout history. That is why the state in which a dog finds itself at one moment is most often a reflection of human behavior. 

Unfortunately, we are increasingly witnessing the negative aspects of humanity, and the proof of this is the numerous abandoned and neglected dogs.

People from the Alachua County Animal Resources & Care shelter witnessed this when they found a dog tied to a pillar in a Florida park one day.

However, this time, they did not know that the truth was a little different and that fate would ensure that this canine companion would soon experience his moment of joy.

After being in the shelter for several months, a dog named Ares finally met his happy ending on December 22, 2023. In their Facebook post, the ACARC shelter announced the happiest news about this canine. 

“Because we needed another hearty cry today…” they wrote, pointing out that the pup had been adopted that day.

However, what makes this story even more special is the incredible course of events leading up to this moment. 

According to the shelter staff, a man named Tierney contacted them after seeing pictures of Ares that they had posted the day before, and he was in total shock. 

“A dear friend of Tierney’s originally owed Ares, and his next owner had tragically passed away, and they never knew what had happened to Ares. They looked for him for so long, so when his picture popped up, Tierney came rushing in.” they wrote in the post. 

Tierney was so excited that he didn’t wait a moment and immediately went to the shelter located in Gainesville, Florida. When he came there, he showed them some old pictures of Ares and there was no doubt – he was the one. 

The moment of the meeting of these two old acquaintances was immortalized by the people from the shelter in the form of several heartwarming photos that show the true happiness of the reunion.
