After a visit to the shelter, Drew felt an instant connection with the dog but hesitated to adopt right away.
When he heard about an upcoming open house event aimed at boosting adoptions, Drew feared someone else might take Julius home.
Determined to adopt
Determined not to lose his chance, Drew arrived at the shelter two hours early on the day of the event.
His dedication caught the attention of the shelter staff, who interviewed him on the spot. Moved by his commitment, they happily approved his adoption.
When Drew and Julius were reunited, the dog seemed to remember him, joyfully running toward his new owner.
Happy ending
Shelter staff couldn’t resist capturing heartwarming photos of the pair’s reunion.
Julius can now begin a new chapter full of love and companionship.
Congratulations, Julius and Drew!
