Tears at How Rescue Dog Sleeps in Forever Home After Life 'Alone in a Cage'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An adorable dog had the best sleep of his life as he settled into life in his forever home. Jennifer Aguilar, who posts to TikTok under the username @jenniferaguilar4104, showed the difference love can make to a dog's life as she shared a clip of the pup from his first night in his new home. Posted on August 18, Aguilar introduced the clip by writing: "'Late night finds' but it's just a video of his first night at home after waiting on a forever home all alone in a cage.'" In the video, set to lullaby-like music, Aguilar showcases her canine's new sleeping arrangement: on a special dog-sized sofa, wrapped in a cozy, blue blanket, a special T-shirt, and even his own plush teddy bear. The Maltipoo pup appears completely relaxed and in a deep sleep, not moving or opening his eyes as his new owner records his first safe sleep. Aguilar wrote in the caption: "Wym [what do you mean] no one picked him." Maltipoos are a cross breed between a Maltese and toy or miniature poodle, and despite not being recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are popular as family pets. Adult Maltipoos grow up to 14 inches tall and weigh up to 20 pounds, and are known for their friendly and active nature, according to a vet-reviewed report from PetMD. The Maltipoo sleeps soundly in blankets with a teddy on his first night at home. The Maltipoo sleeps soundly in blankets with a teddy on his first night at home.

"He looks so at peace," one commenter said, as another thanked Aguilar "for giving him a home where he feels safe." "His first sleep being loved," a third wrote, while a third summed it up: "He was waiting for you." Across the United States in 2024, 5.8 million dogs and cats entered shelters and rescues.
