After over a decade of waiting, the 14-year-old boy is finally experiencing love for the first time, and his reaction is melting everyone’s heart.
Pitufo was around 5 years old when he first joined the Hogar Corazón crew, and was seen as less desirable than a puppy. On top of being an adult, the shelter also didn’t have many opportunities to spread the word about him.
“I’m really strict with the homes I adopt my dogs out to,” Silvina said. “I see them as my own children, and I wouldn’t trust my children with just anybody. I always look for the best for them.”
After 10 years of trying to get the word out about Pitufo and vetting the few families who inquired about him, Silvina’s wish for the pup finally came true.
It’s been a couple weeks since Pitufo met his new family, but they feel like he’s been with them forever. He now spends his days going on walks, cuddling and going about his daily routine as if he’s been doing it for all 14 years of his life.
Silvina’s missing seeing her loving Pitufo around the shelter, but she’s ecstatic that the little guy finally found his happily-ever-after.
“It was the best decision,” Silvina said, “because now Pitufo is so incredibly happy.”
