A girl named Meriah Jae was a doting sister — she was so proud that her sister decided to adopt a dog. It was a big pit bull that was desperate to find a loving and forever home. Meriah was so proud she had to brag about it.
She expressed her happiness for her sister and the dog, she even spread the message to ‘adopt, don’t shop.’ The tweet ended up going viral within no time.
The tweet had over 133,000 retweets, 450,000 likes, and an overwhelming amount of loving and supportive comments.

The dog’s post-adoption pictures were making people swoon. It was so obvious how happy he was in his new home with his new mom. Meriah’s sister was obviously spoiling the rescue dog, as he so deserved.
The giant pit bull apparently loves close ups in the camera. Turns out that he’s quite the ham — and we love it!
Some people even decided to chime in on the cutest details, like the sweet dog’s chapped nose!
Not only were people absolutely falling in with the dog, whom her sister named Charlie, but he simultaneously became the poster dog for animal adoption. Charlie’s happy demeanor and grateful smile spread like wildfire all over the internet.
As soon as this post reached people’s feed, they felt inspired to share their own stories of animal adoption. Things got real cute, real fast.
Meriah’s post sparked hundreds of people to share adorable photos of their rescue animals. Charlie had become an inspiration.
We have some of these precious photos and stories below.
We think this baby girl’s underbite is the cutest part about her!
He’s beautiful! Bless her & all who adopt. Here’s my rescue baby before & after I adopted him; the previous owners “didn’t like his teeth.” pic.twitter.com/5nTSnrXkB4

He seems much happier on his owner’s lap now, his bed looks comfy too!
Found him shaking in the corner. He had been so long because he only has one eye. He is the sweetest good boy ever. ? pic.twitter.com/EVmtNkGS4b
