A video captured the efforts of a massive dog sanctuary to find forever homes for 100 stray dogs that were either abandoned or rescued from kill shelters. The sanctuary invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in a statewide ad campaign to attract potential adopters. An army of trainers, walkers, and staff provided extensive care for the dogs, including free pet food and insurance for life, courtesy of sponsors Spot and Jinx. The sanctuary also offered a "buy one, get one free" deal to encourage people to adopt multiple dogs.
Throughout the video, various individuals, including celebrities like Dave Bautista, helped facilitate adoptions. The sanctuary also employed creative strategies, such as allowing dogs to choose their own families and using a VPN provider's donation to support the shelter.
Despite initial success, finding homes for the remaining dogs proved challenging, particularly for those with disabilities, like a three-legged dog named Buffet. However, with persistence and the right match, even the most difficult-to-adopt dogs found forever homes.
Ultimately, the sanctuary successfully found homes for all 100 dogs, and as a reward, the adopter of the 100th dog received $20,000 in cash. The video concluded with a $100,000 donation to the sanctuary and a surprise reward for the staff and sponsors who helped make the adoptions possible.
