Guy Finds A Stray Dog Inside Dollar General | The Dodo 

Smart dog to go shopping for her human.

I think it's RIDICULOUS that they made her stay there in that shelter for so long when she could have been in a loving home the whole time. Thanks for adopting that sweet girl.

Y'all were meant to be together, thank you for not giving up on her

He had to adopt a dog that he rescued. 😮😮😮 Insane. The shelter DID not have to take her from him. He found her. 😮

I can’t believe he had to wait that long to adopt the dog when the shelters are so overcrowded.

How cruel are humans. He loved that dog and wanted it, and that dog loved him. Proud you stayed in there and you're together.

Lesson learned from this video. Don't call Animal Control. Go to the vet to check for a microchip, call the owners. If none found, keep the pup.

This man found something priceless in a dollar store…🐾

I was at a DG in rural OK in Dec. 2019; there was a pittie mix brindle coated female stray. I talked to the cashier and she said she'd been rhere all day. She helped me get her in my car, and we got to our little vacation getaway, hopped in the shower and she's the best ever. I named her 'Penney' ... She's Penney from the Dollar Store. We love her so 😂❤🐾💕 She rescued me, for sure!!!!!!

What a sweetheart, she definitely chose you!

"She remembers you." Of _course_ she remembered him; he visited her as often as he could. Best of luck and life to Ray and Dolly. ♥

I got one of my dogs from dollar general. He was just hanging out in the parking lot. The manager said someone left him and they were calling animal control the next morning. I opened my car door, he jumped in, and he's been at my side for almost 13 years.

I love the way she was BOUNDING across the grass to meet you, all four legs tucked, flying.

Dogs are the most selfless and loving animals… All they want is to give love and receive love… How anyone could abuse and harm these wonderful creatures is astonishing!

You don’t need a million dollars, it can be just a dollar to save someone’s life and to get an endless supply of joy and happiness from your rescue! ❤️

YOU CAN ALWAYS JUDGE THE CHARACTER OF A MAN BY THE WAY HE TREATS ANIMALS. THANK YOU FOR RESCUING DOLLY !!

It was an example of how "animal control" is getting in the way of doing what is right for the animals they're supposed to help and protect. Thanks for pushing through to the end and giving her a loving home.

I wish there was more people like this young man. The dog clearly loves you.

Our local shelter (where I volunteer) would have taken in the stray to make sure no one was looking for the dog. We have a mandatory 3 day hold. So that little gal would have been adopted to him a lot sooner. What a great match.

You can't refuse once you've been chosen 😮 🐕🤗🐾🥰 Congrats dad❤

I was perplexed why you had to wait so long to bring her home. But she is wonderful and she’s living heaven on earth with you!

These two belong together. Little dog is off the charts adorable. Be happy. I hope they're together forever.

Animal control is one of the worst places to call. But I'm glad you got her❤. So thank you for rescuing her.

She hops when she runs. So adorable. This makes my heart happy

Thank you🙏🏻❤️

Can't believe someone gave up such a friendly pup. Worse was having to stay in the shelter with other distressed animals. Glad it turned out well. Good support for all employees! ❤😍

Shout out to the young man for being a solid dude!

Our shelter allows the finder to keep the dog in their home if they’d like. They still post them on their site so that if their owner comes looking for them. It actually helps the shelter too because it frees up space for them

The fact that animal control couldn’t make it the night you found her was a sign to take her home

I love this. the way they held onto the pupper so long was frustrating. But in the end, love won. 🤗🐕💕

You never know what you wil find at the Dollar General Store!! Guy found this little puppy!! She had no place to go! He took her home and fed her and took her to the shelter!! It hurts, but luckily?? He came back to adopt her!! Great Going Guy!! Kudos To You!!😊❤

A dog is the ONLY creature that loves you more than itself! Dogs! What a blessing from our Father!

Dude, calling "Animal Control" is like calling the most unhelpful cops....like not my 1st reaction. I'm happy it worked out

You have been blessed your dog will give you unconditional love and loyalty.

That's terrible what she had to go through. You'd think they would've been happy for a volunteer foster home. Glad you saved her!

There's a special spot in heaven for you because of this little girl. She was meant to be. Thank you SO much. You don't find the dog, they find you. Hugs!

All the poor dogs I hope pray they get loving homes🙏🏻

Dolly - from Dollar General - so cute!!❤❤❤❤ Thank you for taking her, and being patient!

Those two deserve each other, both have such bright personalities.😊

Dolly is such a precious pup!! thank you for rescuing and later adopting her. she chose the right person to be her dad.

I can understand that the animal control needed to clear her and be sure that her family was not looking for her. I don't like how she was made to stay at the facility that long. They make too many mistakes and she could have been scheduled for euthanasia. The baby was more miserable being there than necessary. Dogs actually cry and feel abandoned by only minutes. A minute to them seems like that's it! They live only in the minute and when they are left they are tormented because it seems like you're never coming back. Those people need to reprioritize these cases. I know she was so desperate and scared. Thank you for your kindness and love. You're so rare and I am sending you huge hugs and support. 🫂🫶🏻🥰

My heart goes out to the people who run shelters bc that’s a tough and often heartbreaking job. I understand here they were trying to make sure that every dog got a good home. But it really is ridiculous they had to wait that long. Adoption is top priority. If you put too many boundaries up dogs aren’t gonna get owners. You need to make sure the process can be easy and fast.

Thanks so much for taking her

Literally crying happy tears..... I'm so grateful this precious little girl was seen and found by the right human! I wish every stray could experience a happy ending like this. Let's continue to spread the trend of kindness when it comes to animals in need. ❤🐾❤️‍🩹

She is a spunky sassy beautiful tiny thing. So lucky to have found eachother!

Thanks for the love and taking care of that little dog, beautiful man. GOVERNMENT IS NOT OUR FRIEND

Ray, you have made Dolly's life so, SO happy. My hero ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Best find at a dollar store ever!!

beautiful dog and wonderful guy. Thank you for saving her and giving her a very loving home

An adorable, sweet little dog found the perfect, kind-hearted man. Thank you for saving this little girl. 🥰🥰

They should have scanned her for a chip, kept her for a week to see if anybody was looking for her and, if not, simply said, „She’s yours!“

Bless you for hanging in there for so long and making her your forever girl.

I knew the second he had her in his cart and was speechless that he was going to end up adopting her❤. So sweet!

Love the name dolly ❤.thank you for keeping her.

Wow, how could anyone with a heart give up such an awesome, friendly pup like her? She's such a sweetie, pretty much perfect! I'm so glad she found a loving home in the end! 💗

Aww, Dolly from Dollar General! She hit the jackpot with her new Dad Ray❤️

Good man!

So Happy you found your little Angel ❤😊

Wanna be happy in life? Find a dog, give it as much love as you can even when you think its pointless.......dont EVER GIVE UP on a dog! They are the key to your happiness in life.

YOU BOTH ARE AMAZING THANK YOU!! ALWAYS, Paula C ❤

Oh, so cute. Very cute and sweet little dog.

Tears of joy! Thank you for loving her ❤️

That was great that's how I found my Max and he looks like her. I just kept him I didn't take him anywhere just for check up. 100% loyal 🙏

So glad that this man got to keep that sweet little dog.

Now I know that if I am ever so lucky to find a sweetie somewhere, I would never call animal control. God❤ bless you for keeping her! You found yourself a treasure! ❤❤

That would’ve been an easy decision for me. That is the sweetest pup, just freaking adorable.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS FOR BEING SOOOOOO KIND AMEN!!!!🐶❤❤❤❤🐾🐾

Infinitas gracias 😭😭😭😭💞💞💞💞🩷🌟💞💞💞💞

You young man are amazing! You couldn’t have done any better saving that sweet fur baby! Bless your heart and soul! I believe you are an angel on earth!💕🙏🏼🐾

Aww....She's so beautiful. 😍🐾 I'm so glad he rescued and adopted her. 😊❤

Thank you so very much 😊❤ God Bless 🙌 ❤️ 🙏

Thank God she found you. The way she galloped accross the lawn. One very happy dog. I'd take her home.

I love how after adoption she jumps and bounces like a bunny 🐰. She’s absolutely a keeper. Love this ❤.

Thanks forkeeping your word to provide a loving home for you cur baby, may she bring you zuch joy in your life and for hers too!! ❤❤❤

This is proof that great things can be found at the Dollar Store❤😊🐕

Absolutely beautiful ❤️💕❣️. I have 2 Dolly's at home and they're the best 😂.

Never regret giving a pet a loving home, they have a short journey in this world, humans can live up to 100 yrs old and these animals probably only 12 yrs please make them be loved and happy

Heartwarming story She’s so lovable thank you for bringing her into your life.

Thanks to that man for his resilience through the process and for loving her! I already got two dogs, but I hope in the future and I can rescue some more.

Shelters in California let people report the dog as found so the family who lost the dog has a chance to be reunited with their pup, and the person who found the dog can foster the pup in their home (I think it's a 30 day waiting period). If no one claims the dog then the foster can adopt the pup. A much better, kinder plan than what these two had to endure. Adorable pup!

Sweet, scruffy girl! Look at her hop at the end… she’s certainly in a better home than with whoever left her behind

The jumping run towards the end of the video....now THATS pure doggie-joy 🥰🥺❤

So beautiful when animals choose their guardians! The bond is amazing!

Absolutely beautiful she adopted him,he adopted her 🥰🥰

Miss Dolly is so cute & loving & the best part, she didn't cost a dollar & Ray was a God send Thank You.

What a beautiful story. Thank you for being so patient. She looks like she’s the most wonderful best buddy you could find. Spoil her rotten!🥰😍❤️

I had to take a seat; the little angel melted me so bad. Dogs are the closest things to angels we have on earth.

When he said, “ let’s go home,” he meant it! If he turned her in after that, it would be safe to say he is heartless. God bless them both and fill their lives with love. 💜💕❤️🙏🌈🐶🐾🐈💜💕❤️🙏🌈🐶🐾🐈

OMG what a sweet man. He toughed it out and went to visit that lil fur baby when ever he could. I am sooo happy this little fur baby tagged a good man and a great forever home.

Two beings found each other. Thats how you fall in love.

The fact that she laid on her back the first night she was with him, that shows she knew she was absolutely home.

I teared up when she had to go to the shelter. I was afraid somehow they wouldn't let him have her. I'm o relieved she is his dog now!! He is a fantastic Daddy!

Thank you for loving her and it was a win/win 🎉

We need more people like him in this world. A good guy.

She’s so beautiful how could anyone want to get rid of her? I appreciate you adopting her and put a smile on my face knowing this little one has someone that’s gonna love her dogs are the best all animals are they’re so special.!!

Imagine finding something priceless like that dog in a Dollar General.

I'm glad she found him. He needed her.

A friend of ours found an extra dog in her yard. No idea where it came from. After a check up at the vet and 3 months foster care looking for the owner they were going to put him up for adoption. We asked if we could have him. It has been 20 years and he is still the best dog in the world IMO. Yeah he’s deaf, mostly blind, kind of grumpy and doesn’t go up stairs anymore but we love him to pieces.

Having adopted 3 dogs from our shelter, the 10 day waiting period is torturous! I’m so glad it worked out because these two seem very happy together! (For those that are curious about the wait time after the initial information gathering period (ours is around 24-48 hrs) it’s not only to give any owners time to find the dog (many of which they contact don’t want the animal back according to our shelter) but time to complete any medical evaluations/treatment, spay or neuter, complete personality tests to to make sure they’re a good candidate for adoption and time for potential new owners to bring the pets they already have in for a meet-n-greet.)

3.00 the boing boing shot really hit the emotions. Well done OP, you are a really nice person.
