Mummy’s adoption day turned a long wait into the sweetest goodbye. The deaf rescue pup, who spent over a year at the shelter, finally met the person ready to take her home. In an Instagram video shared by @eric.and.joey, her adopters arrived at Border Tails Rescue, filled out paperwork, packed the car, and gave Mummy the happy ending so many people had hoped for.
Deaf shelter dog finally finds her forever home after many hurdles
The video was posted by @eric.and.joey four days ago with the caption, “Mummy is officially ADOPTED.” They noted that a new chapter had begun for her and thanked everyone who helped her find a home. The clip follows her final shelter moments, from meeting her adopters to leaving with donated supplies.
Earlier context in another post explains why the day felt so big. On-screen text says Mummy had “a rough start to life,” spent more than a year in the shelter, is deaf, and was returned after her first adoption. According to the post, every time things started looking up, something happened.
In the new shelter dog video, her adopter explains why he applied to adopt this sweet dog. He says his family had to put their dog down about two and a half years ago. They knew they wanted to adopt when the right one came along. The connection kept growing after five meetings, and now, as the clip says, Mummy “has officially found her forever family.”
The goodbye is full of hugs and emotion. Mummy leans into a volunteer for a final embrace as on-screen text says, “After growing up in the shelter.” The paperwork is completed, staff donations are gathered, and her car is packed. The final moments appear to be “bittersweet” for everyone. Mummy gets a last treat for being a good shelter girl, then leaves with her new family.
Fans celebrated the shelter dog video in the comments. One wrote, “What an incredible day!!! Congratulations mummy.” Another added, “Omg the mummy paw hug! And giving her belly rubs! It’s love!” A third said, “Bless you for giving her a new family to love we love you Mummy.”
