We all love surprises that can brighten up our day. This was the experience of The Animal Rescue Center of California when two boxes arrived at their Coachella, California office. Upon opening the first box, employees were filled with joy at the sight of tiny kittens. One staff member quickly found a foster parent, Dani, at the Cat Clinic, 30 minutes away, who was eager to care for them. As an expert in fostering, Dani immediately tended to and fed the hungry kittens.
Furry Surprise
When it came time to open the second box, they sensed something special inside. To their delight, a tiny rescue puppy greeted them, a six-week-old Chihuahua mix named Griffin, found abandoned in a field. Griffin weighed only 2.75 lbs, was severely underweight, and covered in ticks. After a thorough cleaning and feeding, this brave little pup started to regain his strength and true personality, showcasing his playful nature.
Griffin quickly acclimated to the company of other dogs at ARC, forming a bond with Mackenzie, an eight-month-old Staffordshire mix who weighed 75 lbs. Despite their size difference, their friendship blossomed, and this adorable duo caught the attention of the rescue center, which shared a video titled “Two Puppies, Two Different Sizes.”
“Both of these ARC puppies were found on the street and are now thriving. Mackenzie is the last puppy of The Coachella 6, and she is playing big sis to our latest rescue, Griffin, who we believe is about 6 weeks old. Enjoy some puppy love!” they wrote in a Facebook post.
Griffin quickly became the favorite ARC puppy, forging an unbreakable friendship with Mackenzie, and even gaining online fame. He just needed a forever home, which came sooner than expected.
New Box Of Joy
A woman named Susan recently relocated from Michigan to Coachella to be near her children. Although she embraced her new job and family proximity, she felt the absence of a furry companion. After stumbling upon Griffin’s Almond Butter smacking video, Susan knew he was the puppy for her. She reached out to The Animal Rescue Center of California, and soon after, a box of joy arrived at her home, bringing Griffin to his new family.
“As soon as we put Griffin in Susan’s arms, we knew he was going to love this family and that they would love him. Welcome home, Griffin,” ARC shared in their Facebook post.
This sweet dog brought immense joy to many, and he is now ready to enjoy the surprises his loving family will provide every day. This furry boy deserves nothing less.
