Uno, who was originally bred for laboratory experiments, was rescued and found a new home with a loving father who, despite having only daughters, affectionately refers to Uno as his son. This special bond between them is truly heartwarming.

John, who leads Kindness Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Wyoming, was part of an incredible effort to rescue nearly 4,000 dogs, which is considered one of the largest canine rescues ever. Among the first dogs brought back from Virginia was Uno, who caught John’s attention with his loud and expressive demeanor. Uno clearly showed that he was not happy being in a kennel with 32 other dogs. John took extra care to sit with Uno in his kennel as much as possible, offering him some comfort during a stressful time.

In the end, John decided to take Uno under his wing and bring him home to care for him. Uno was cautious around both people and other animals, but he was relieved to be out of the shelter. This was the first time the pup had ever experienced running around or feeling the grass beneath his paws.

Uno was filled with happiness when he saw his new home. He expressed his gratitude with a warm hug and a big smile as he eagerly jumped into John’s arms. It was in that moment that John officially became not just Uno’s foster dad, but his forever dad.

Uno was embarking on a thrilling adventure, and it was simply too extraordinary to overlook! A big shoutout to all the kind-hearted individuals who tirelessly dedicate their time to rescue dogs just like Uno. We are incredibly grateful for your hard work!
