Viral TikToker takes shelter's saddest looking dog out for a day trip to a Vet Expo, goes viral and gets adopted less than a week later: 'Moments like this… matter so much!'

The saddest shelter dog you have ever seen got adopted because a viral TikTok influencer took him out for a little day trip and the internet fell in love. 

Don Jon, aka DJ, is a sweet shelter dog found as a stray that got adopted and returned twice. Why did he get returned? Nobody can figure it out, because he is the sweetest most friendly good boy. So, two influencers who go by @eric.and.joey spotted him and decided to change his fate. They are known for taking shelter dogs out of their kennels for the day and giving them some play time with lots of love. It's important for shelter dogs to get this because the kennel can be a sad and scary place sometimes, especially if you've been there for a long time. So, DJ was very excited to get out of there, to say the least. 

In fact, the shelter staff said that DJ was looking extra sad lately and that he truly needed a trip outside of the kennel. So, that's when this influencer stepped in and DJ had the best day ever! They didn't just take him to the park or for a run, like they often do. They took him to a Veterinarian Expo where he got to meet hundreds of dog-loving folks. He got so much attention and absolutely loved it. 

The best part, however, was the interest in adopting him…
