We all love surprises, especially those that make us so happy and brighten our day. That’s exactly what the folks at California Animal Rescue went through when he received two boxes at his office in Coachella, California. As soon as they opened the box, their faces lit up with joy when they saw a small kitten inside. One of her girlfriends, an employee, didn’t have to wait and immediately found a foster home waiting for her at Clinique Duchat, a 30-minute drive from her home. This elderly woman, named Dani, was an expert at feeding kittens and immediately fed the hungry kittens and continued to care for them.

The people at the rescue center were overjoyed, but even more so when they opened the second box.

Fluffy surprise

When it was their turn to open the second box, they knew something beautiful was waiting inside. As soon as I opened it, I was greeted by the adorable sight of a rescued puppy. He was a small dog, 6 weeks old, called Griffin. Griffin was found in a field in Thermal and was a Chihuahua mix weighing only 2.75 pounds. He was very thin.

Additionally, this poor puppy was covered in ticks, so we started by properly removing the tiny invaders and giving him a good bath. After that, as I gave him plenty of food, his strength gradually returned and he started to show his true appearance.

Griffin showed that he is a happy and playful puppy and quickly integrated into the company of other ARC dogs. Although they were all much bigger than him, it was no obstacle for this brave little boy. 

He was even more than equal to them, and he soon found his best canine friend, who was perhaps the biggest dog in the room. That dog was an eight-month-old Staffordshire mix named Mackenzie, who weighed 75 lbs

The folks at The Animal Rescue Center of California even posted a video about the duo, titled “Two Puppies, Two Different Sizes.”

“Both of these ARC puppies were found on the street and are now thriving. Mackenzie is the last puppy of The Coachella 6 and she is playing big sis to our latest rescue, Griffin, who we believe to be about 6 weeks old. Enjoy some puppy love!” they wrote in a Facebook post. 

In a very short time, Griffin became the favorite ARC puppy, managed to find the best canine pal several times bigger than him, and even became famous on the Internet.

He was only missing a forever home, but he didn’t have to wait long for that either.

New Box Of Joy

A woman named Susan recently moved from Michigan to Coachella, California, to be closer to her children who all lived there. 

Although she found a job in her new city and was close to her family, she still missed something. Susan has always had a dog and quickly realized that she also needed a furry friend in her new home

One day, she came by Griffin’s Almond Butter smacking video posted by The Animal Rescue Center of California. After watching it, she knew right away that Griffin was the ideal puppy for her.

She soon contacted The Animal Rescue Center of California, and this time, a box of joy arrived at her address. Once again, that sweet little dog, Griffin, brought happiness from the inside of the box, this time to his new family

“As soon as we put Griffin in Susan’s arms we knew he was going to love this family and there is no doubt that they love him. welcome home, Griffin,” ARC wrote in their Facebook post. 

This little doggo caused immense delight when he emerged from his box of joy to so many people. Now, it was time for him to enjoy surprises from his new family, who would shower him with unconditional love every day. 

This furry boy deserves nothing less.
