Finding a home for a shelter dog is generally not easy when they are older. Most people seek to adopt puppies and there is nothing wrong with that.
However, that doesn’t mean that older dogs don’t deserve love. They are as cheerful and playful as any other puppy you will find.
Sometimes, life can be cruel to them and they will struggle to find someone who will treat them with love and respect.
Pop was one such dog. He had spent a long time in the shelter, despite being the happiest doggo you can imagine.
Surprisingly, everything changed for him one day when a video of Pop would become the center of attention because of a viral TikTok trend.
Very Demure, Very Mindful

When it comes to Pop’s personality, he is just the sweetest dog and deserves all the love. He has spent quite a while in the shelter, but his rescuers are trying to find a forever home for him.
They know that anyone who adopts Pop will love him, but they just need to find someone good for him.
A volunteer said in a post: “Everyone is talking about Pop. His pictures are so ridiculously cute and he’s just a few years old! When we meet him though, he is nonstop fun.”

In order to give him a better chance of adoption, the shelter workers at Animal Care Centers of NYC decided to use a viral TikTok trend to create a clip about Pop.
The voiceover in the video said: “See how I act when adopters walk by my kennel? Very demure, very mindful.”
Not only is this the perfect description of Pop’s behavior, but it also showed potential adopters just how sweet and lovable he immediately is.

Unsurprisingly, the video got thousands of views and comments. Many people reached out because they wanted to adopt Pop.
The New York rescuers wanted to carefully select his new family and were able to find someone really amazing.
And just like that, this one trend was able to help this adorable dog start over his life and I am so happy that he is finally living his dream.

However, Pop is not the only dog who needs help. There are many other older dogs who have spent a long time in the shelter and need a home.
A lot of them, like Pop, struggle because of their breed and negative stereotypes associated with pitbulls.
However, that is just untrue and hopefully this video helped shed some light on just how amazing pitties can be when they are cared for. All they want is a chance and we can give them that.

Status: Available for adoption at Queens ACC Pop is in need of emergency placement! We would love to see this demure and mindful boy find a loving home ❤️ @Jools Lebron A volunteer writes, “Everyone is talking about Pop. His pictures are so ridiculously cute and he’s just a few years old! When we meet him though, he is nonstop fun. His tail is just absolutely wiggling all over the place, and his butt shakes so much he almost hits himself in the face with it. Pop is excited to meet us and prefers pets and snuggles to any toys at the moment. On a dreary day, he is happy to be out and about and is our temporary ray of sunshine. He has a sweet sweet face and is so soft and snuggly. He just melts his whole body into each of us to get in enough snuggles for us all. In his little tshirt, Pop looks like a total heartbreaker. He is reported to be friendly and playful with strangers, children, and other dogs. His favorite activities are playing (obvi) and going for walks. He prefers to sleep on the couch to his bed. He is a very energetic young boy who would do best in a home ready to keep the good times rolling.” Pop’s Bio: https://nycacc.app//browse/168283 If you’re on mobile and unable to access the link, visit nycacc.app to search for Pop’s name or ID: 168283 #nycacc #boroughbred #shelterdogs #queensacc #nycactivities #demureandmindful
