The shelter team at the Metro East Humane Society knows how much their furry friends yearn for a forever home filled with love and affection. Every pup’s ultimate wish is to be part of a family that will cherish them unconditionally, and until that dream becomes reality, they can never truly be content.
To assist more shelter dogs in finding their perfect match, the Metro East Humane Society hosts an adoption event each year on Black Friday, with the generous support of sponsors covering the adoption fees. This year’s event was a huge success, with 94 animals, including 64 dogs, finding their happily ever after with loving families.
Despite the heartwarming scene of animals snuggling up to their new parents, one little pup named Frito was left feeling the pang of loneliness. Frito, a beloved resident of the shelter, was the only one who hadn’t been chosen to join a new family that day.

The shelter staff felt discouraged when they noticed that their sweet girl had been ignored. Program manager Ali Hillard expressed disappointment, saying, “Frito is such a wonderful and deserving pup, so it was disheartening to see her constantly overlooked by potential adopters.”
Metro East Humane Society, featured on The Dodo, recounted the heartwarming story of Frito’s return to the shelter in Madison County, Illinois. As Frito was brought back, a solemn silence filled the air upon their arrival. Seeing that she was the only one left, Frito gazed at her friends with a sense of melancholy.
Before gently placing her back in her kennel, the shelter volunteers showered Frito with love and affection. They cradled her delicate face in their hands, giving her kisses and cuddles to bid her goodnight, offering reassurance that everything would be okay.
Despite the circumstances, Frito showed resilience and refused to succumb to sadness. She continued to play and bring joy to those around her.
From the Metro East Humane Society featured on The Dodo comes the heartwarming tale of Frito. Despite not having anyone to play with, Frito did not let sadness bring her down. She was seen running around the yard, having a blast with her ‘imaginary friends’ as described by the shelter staff in a TikTok video. With her stuffed animals in her mouth, Frito looked absolutely joyful. The staff at the shelter are hopeful that Frito will soon find her forever family, as she is a lovely pup who simply wants to savor every moment of life.
Frito isn’t fussy at all when it comes to finding her forever home. She’s a perfect mix of sweet, cuddly, silly, and playful, making her a great companion for any household. The Metro East Humane Society recently shared that Frito has moved to a foster home and is loving every moment of it. She’s finally experiencing the warmth and love of a real home, and we’re all rooting for her to find a permanent family soon. Frito deserves all the love and adoration in the world, and we can’t wait for her to be a cherished part of someone’s life. Let’s help this independent woman find her forever home!🐶💙🏡 #fyp #blackfridaysale #feewaived #adoptdontshop #adoptme #dogsoftiktok #rescuedog #oliviarodrigo #rescueanimals #adoptashelterpet #shelterdog #dogfriendly 🎵♬ drivers license – Olivia Rodrigo
