If you are an animal lover yourself, you know how hard it is to walk past a furry friend in need without doing anything about it.
Just the thought of how much they had already suffered can break any heart. So, our dedicated rescuers will do anything in their power to help these fur babies and bring them somewhere safe.
More often than not, ‘somewhere safe’ is usually their own home. However, since most of these rescuers have a family of their own, seeing their reactions to a litter of rescue pups is sometimes one of the funniest things ever.
A Car Full Of Dogs
When a rescuer from Atlanta, named Kimberly Perkins, came home one day, she brought one of the cutest surprises ever.
The trunk of her car was jam-packed with six adorable Great Dane puppies who were eager to get out and explore their new home.
Meanwhile, her husband wasn’t really sure how to act. Initially, he looked at the pups with a blank stare. But, since they were so adorable, he couldn’t help but start smiling!
Perkins posted the funniest text over the video explaining how their relationship works.
“My husband doesn’t have to worry about me cheating or leaving. But he does have to worry about me showing up after work with a litter of six rescued Great Dane puppies for fostering,” the TikTok displayed.
Perkins and her husband are proud foster parents for Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue and Rehab, a non-profit charity that rescues Great Danes across the entire country. And, since she was asked if she could temporarily foster a litter of puppies that were surrendered by their owners, she immediately agreed.
However, she decided to keep the whole thing a secret from her husband. So, when she arrived home, she asked her husband to come help her pick up ‘a few heavy items’ from her car. And, the rest was history!
About Great Danes
The couple took care of the pups for an entire week, and even though it was a bit challenging, they made it through!
“At only three months old, the puppies weighed an average of 44 pounds each. It was a challenging week but full of love and smiles!” Perkins told Newsweek.
Eventually, four pups managed to find other foster homes, while two remained with the couple. One of the remaining two, named Lola, really clicked with the couple, resulting in them adopting her!
And, since Great Danes are the epitome of big dogs, bigger hearts, this didn’t come as a surprise.
One of the first things that anybody will notice when it comes to these cutties is their size. Standing up to 32 inches tall at the shoulder, it’s really easy to mistake them for small horses. But, despite their size, they are the gentlest pups ever.
They are incredibly sweet and love to cuddle. Yes, this means that a 150-pound dog will try to curl up in your lap and demand some loving hugs and kisses. So, if you are the type of person who loves a big, friendly giant, this pup is for you!
