Maggie, the shelter dog, had a troubled life before coming to the shelter. But when she met her forever family, she could not stop hugging them.
Mary McCraw and her husband, Mark, had recently lost their rescue dog, Mischka, to cancer.
The couple was unsure if they were ready to adopt again, but they soon changed their minds when they met the shelter dog.
Watch the shelter dog’s reaction when she met her new family:
@pittiesfromheaven This was Demi (now Maggie) meeting her new dad for the very first time. It’s like they had known each other for years ❤️😍 this is why we foster.

McCraw said in an interview, “She melted my heart. We had lost our other dog a few months prior to meeting Maggie and this was just a meet and greet in my mind. I didn’t think I was ready for a new dog at the time.”
The shelter house scheduled the meeting with Maggie, and the duo was impressed with her charming personality.
“I bent down so she would not be intimidated, and within seconds she was in my lap and in my life,” McCraw added.
“Her story broke our hearts. Meeting her was love at first sight, it was an instant connection. We feel like she was meant to be with us.”
“She became one of the sweetest dogs we have ever fostered,” the shelter owner said. “The moment that Maggie met her new dad, my husband and I just looked at each other — because we knew. It felt like a movie.” Said McCraw.
“They were meant to be together,” Mack said. “The beam of sunshine that is clear in the video makes me believe that their former dog, Mischka, was looking down on that meeting and smiling.”
Meeting the shelter dog completely changed the couple’s life for the better.
“Maggie brings joy to everyone she meets and continually makes our life better,” McCraw said. “Looking into those eyes just makes the world a better place.”
