You never know when a big surprise is about to unfold before you… and when it finally does, how will you react? One morning, Zoë, a woman from Atlanta, Georgia, stepped onto her front porch and stumbled upon the biggest furry surprise curled up on her bench.
How Did He Get There
As she approached, Zoë discovered a severely emaciated stray dog curled up in a ball, trying to hide his face with his tail in a heartbreaking attempt to blend in with his surroundings. In a TikTok video that quickly went viral, she highlighted the extent of the dog’s trauma, describing the scene with the words, “Woke up to a stray dog sleeping on our front porch.” The poor creature shook with fear until he realized that Zoë was there to help.
The comment section of the video quickly filled with emotional responses. One user wrote, “Covering his face with paw AND tail. I wish him years of happiness,” while another lamented, “So sad, he’s trying to make himself invisible. He just wanted a safe spot to sleep. Ugh, I wish I could save them all.” After checking for a microchip, Zoë discovered that the dog had no information despite a collar, indicating that he had likely been abandoned.
Hope appeared when a neighbor volunteered to temporarily foster the dog, later named Capital. Given Zoë had two reactive dogs and a one-year-old baby, she was deeply grateful. However, the situation took a turn for the worse the next day when she found out that the neighbor had surrendered him to a high-euthanasia animal shelter in Atlanta, citing Capital’s “reactiveness to their other dogs.” “He was taken to the Fulton County animal shelter by the person who signed up to foster him, without telling me,” lamented Zoë.
Capital Needs Help
Since Capital’s surrender, Zoë has been tirelessly searching for a suitable home. Heartbroken that she couldn’t adopt him herself, she has been making emotional appeals on her TikTok account, hoping to find someone willing to give Capital a chance. Fortunately, a generous donor has already covered the adoption fees.
“He is in Atlanta and needs a home if anyone is able to help. His adoption fees have been paid,” wrote Zoë.
Capital is hopeful that his future adopters are out there. According to those who found him, this charming pup is friendly and shows no signs of aggression toward people despite the terrible trauma he has experienced. He truly deserves someone who will finally show him kindness!
