The video was filmed inside the kennel of Rocky, a 6-year-old dog who has been waiting for his forever home for over a year. It has more than 3.1 million likes.
FISHERS — Humane societies across the country use social media to showcase their adoptable animals, but one TikTok video has led to more than the Humane Society for Hamilton County ever expected.
The HSHC made a TikTok video featuring Rocky, a 6-year-old dog who has been waiting for his forever home for over a year. "For us, it was just important that people realize that we're on one side of the kennels looking in, but this is what those dogs and cats see every single day," Megan Davis, HSHC director of training and communications, said."That is their reality and that is their life while they're here."Davis says Rocky is very shy around strangers and his perfect home would be with only adults and no other pets. Families with older children, like teenagers, are also a possibility.
While Rocky waits for his perfect home, the video has helped raise over $11,000 to support Rocky's care and the care of other animals at the shelter. The Humane Society says Rocky's video generated more attention to their other animals as well.
