Every dog deserves a good, loving home. Thereโs nothing sweeter than the moment a dog leaves a shelter and goes home with their new owner for the first time, knowing that they are safe and loved.

Loki, a 1-year-old pit bull mix, was in the care of the Oconee Humane Society in Seneca, South Carolina. But during his stay in the shelter he reportedly became sick, and needed to be treated at their Pet Care Clinic.

Thatโs where he met vet tech Abby Arellano, who quickly formed a bond with the rescue dog. She decided to take him home as a medical foster while he recovered from his illness.
