When it comes to dog adoptions around the world, the majority occur through shelters or local rescue groups.
But have you ever heard of the ‘distribution system’? Essentially, it’s a funny idea where a dog or cat approaches you and seems to ask for adoption!
Personally, I’ve only experienced this once with one of our cats, but dogs seem to do it more commonly across the globe.
Take Antonio’s experience—he was going about his day when he spotted puppies waiting for him on the side of the road.
Caught By the Distribution System
As soon as the adorable puppies spotted Antonio approaching, they all quickly scampered toward him.
To his surprise, there were nine puppies eagerly awaiting his attention. They were all incredibly friendly and greeted him excitedly.
It seemed the dog distribution system had picked him, entrusting him with their care, at least until he could help them find homes.
However, there was one small hitch: he had no way to transport them to safety since his car was at home.
So Antonio reached out to his friend, who promptly arrived with her vehicle to pick them up.
They safely placed the puppies in the car. After that, Antonio’s friend drove him back to his home, where they let the puppies roam in the yard.
The plan was to care for them temporarily until they could connect with families willing to adopt.
After a quick count, they realized there were two boys and seven girls. Just a few weeks old, they were identified as Belgian Malinois.
From the moment they entered the house, they oozed playfulness, and Antonio was amazed by how friendly and energetic they were.
All Have Found Loving New Homes
Antonio shared a video documenting the whole experience and reached out for help finding suitable homes for the puppies.
In no time, he successfully found loving families for all of them.
Their new owners kept Antonio updated about the puppies’ health. While they were dealing with fleas and worms, overall, they were in good health.
After posting the video online, it garnered over 18.7 million views, 3.1 million likes, and numerous comments.
Among the most amusing comments, one user remarked: “WAIT!!!! There’s a PUPPY distribution system too??”
Indeed, if this doesn’t validate it, I’m not sure what could. Another user expressed: “WHY DOES THIS NEVER HAPPEN TO ME?”
Honestly, I wish we could all be that fortunate, but who knows? It might just happen to any of us someday.
Finally, someone shared their story, saying: “My husband and I found 15 dogs at his workplace from two litters. We rehomed all but three to keep them out of shelters. The other three are currently on my couch.”
It’s truly heartwarming to see individuals ready to seize every chance to assist a puppy in need.
It doesn’t take much—they just need a cozy home and a caring family, and we all have the potential to help them find that.
