A woman from Atlanta came home from work with a car full of giant puppies to foster, and her husband's reaction to it is melting hearts on social media.

In a video shared on TikTok in June, under the username @perkinszoo, the poster, Kimberly Perkins, can be seen opening the trunk of her car when a litter of six Great Dane puppies unexpectedly pop out of it. Meanwhile, her husband's reaction is captured on video, and he doesn't seem too worried about it—in fact, he can't help but smile when he sees the puppies.

"My husband doesn't have to worry about me cheating or leaving. But he does have to worry about me showing up after work with a litter of six rescued Great Dane puppies for fostering," the layover text on the clip reads.

Perkins and her husband, Shawn, are foster parents for Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue and Rehab, a non-profit charity that rescues Great Danes across the country, and on June 24, 2024, Kim was asked if she could temporarily foster a litter of puppies that were owner surrenders and needed a home quickly.

She immediately agreed and picked them up right after she left work, keeping it as a surprise to her family.

Perkins told Newsweek that when her husband arrived home she asked him to help her pick up a "few heavy items" from the car, which he thought was cat litter. He had no idea what was awaiting him.

"At only three months old, the puppies weighed an average of 44 pounds each. It was a challenging week but full of love and smiles!" she said.

After a week, four puppies went to other foster homes; two remained with the couple, who eventually adopted one of them and named her Lola.

Each year 6.3 million pets enter U.S. shelters, which is an average of 17,260 a day, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The number of dogs and cats taken in by pet shelters hit 46,807 during January 2023, an increase of 1,744 compared with January 2022, the 24Pet 'Shelter Watch Report' found.

According to the Humane Society of Macomb, the most common reasons for dog surrenders include age, allergies, behavioral issues, clean-up, cost, moving, getting new pets and shedding.

Around 920,000 surrendered animals are euthanized every year. Shelters are striving to minimize euthanasia rates by promoting adoption campaigns, spaying and neutering programs, and behavior rehabilitation.

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 1.5 million views and 284,600 likes on the platform.

One user, BacktheBlueLady, commented: "He's smiling and not mad?! =green flag."

Court.movegetoutthe.way said: "My toxic trait is I'll tell my husband we're fostering and then they just never leave."
