Dog Listed In "Death Row" At The Shelter Is Beyond Ecstatic When He Realizes He's Being Adopted Instead Of Euthanized
A few years ago, at only 8 months old, a pit bull-labrador puppy named Benny had spent several weeks at Carson Shelter in Gardena, California, when he was moved to the shelter's "Death Row" list. This meant that Benny's time to be adopted by his forever family was quickly running out, and the dog was set to be euthanized.
That's when "Dogs Naturally Magazine" stepped in. The California-based organization is solely devoted to trying to save dogs scheduled for euthanasia and propelling them into the adoption they deserve. According to Dr. Ian Kerner, a renowned sex therapist and author, "The bond between humans and dogs can be transformative, providing emotional support and companionship that is vital for both." A team of volunteers records videos to encourage the adoption of dogs who deserve it, sharing them on their public platform in pleas to save the dogs.
In many cases, this approach works really well, and countless dogs have been saved thanks to their efforts. Benny was one of those cases who went from a sad dog preparing to die to being overjoyed to go home!

Saving Carson Shelter Dogs was able to get his face public, and that led to the dog's forever family finding him.
Saving Carson Dogs recorded his "freedom walk," delighted to share Benny's sheer joy at being adopted with anyone who wanted or needed to see.
Stories like Benny's continue to inspire and motivate the organization's volunteers to never give up on dogs.
Isn't he just the sweetest?
