Foster parents hoping to get their pets adopted might walk them with a special "Adopt Me" harness or post about them on social media, but one foster dad's sales pitch method of showing off his dog to strangers has quickly become a hit among viewers.

Decked out in a unicorn costume, 1-year-old Cataleya went with her foster parent, Wesley, to the Home Depot with the hopes of getting adopted. Wesley, known on TikTok as @forthedogs_, walked through the aisles as the pit bull strutted her stuff in a November 4 video. Occasionally, he would stop a stranger and share Cataleya's story.

Wesley first brought home Cataleya as a foster dog from the San Antonio Pets Alive animal shelter at the beginning of October. She lived her entire life in shelters. Given her bite record, people never gave her a chance, which is why Wesley was drawn to her.

Since bringing her home, he's been working on socialization, obedience training and teaching her games to play with her future owners, such as tug of war. She quickly showed improvements, making Wesley want to show off her skills.

After sharing a little of her story with strangers, Wesley would then show off Cataleya's tricks she learned since he started fostering her. He told her to lie on the ground and wait as he and the stranger backed up a few steps. The stranger then took the leash, trying to pull her, but Cataleya didn't move an inch.

Despite several attempts to show off Cataleya in public, she still has yet to be adopted.

He updated his followers with an Instagram post: "I was not able to find my foster Cataleya, a good home so we are still on the search and I will be transferring her to California with me and we will continue to train."

Newsweek reached out to Wesley via email for comment.

Despite Cataleya not being adopted yet, Wesley's approach is being praised. As of Wednesday, the TikTok clip had over 1 million views and 144,100 likes.

"This is an impeccable sales technique. Well done Sir!" said a TikTok user.

"Look at her tail wiggle! What a sweet, smart girl!" one admirer commented.

Others wished an interaction like this would happen to them.

"See, he'd tell me, 'She's a shelter dog' and I'd be like oh cool, I came here for trash bags but I could use a dog thanks! And she would no longer be a shelter dog," a commenter said.

"If you did this to me I'd adopt her immediately," said one relatable comment.
