Some pups are truly hard not to adore. They simply crash in like a little tornado and dare you not to love them.
And honestly? Everything after that gets easier. All the hard work. All the training. All those sleepless nights wondering if it was all worth it. Once the bond is formed, you just know it’s forever.
Tiffany, a tiny Husky mix who’d already been surrendered to the shelter twice in just a few weeks, was definitely one of those pups. Everyone said she was trouble, way too energetic and loud, and difficult to train.
But then one Arkansas girl walked into the shelter, and made a choice that changed everything.
Tiffany Just Needed Someone To Understand Her
When Bradi Jones, a student from Arkansas, arrived at her local shelter, she didn’t expect to meet Tiffany. But then she saw her, with ice-blue eyes and the sweetest smile, and instantly fell in love.
According to the staff, Tiffany had already been returned twice in two weeks. The reason? She was “a lot to handle.”
The pup had endless energy, zero obedience, and was barking loudly. She was the kind of dog who could run for miles, play at a dog park, and still come home ready for a new adventure. Sadly, Tiffany overwhelmed everyone who tried to adopt her.
But Bradi did not walk away.
Despite her busy schedule, she decided to give Tiffany a chance and adopt her.
On her TikTok page, Jones shared an emotional video featuring the duo’s exhausting two-year path and reflecting on the journey they were about to begin together, filled with ups and downs along the way.
“This made me cry. No one will ever truly understand her progress and all of the tears but me and her,” the video description reads.
Aside from Tiffany’s behavior, Bradi’s hesitation was whether her chaotic schedule could handle such a high-maintenance dog. Plus, people told her not to do it. They consistently warned her the dog would be “too much.”
But instead of giving up, Bradi persisted. Despite chewing random items in the house, hours of play, creating chaos, and all the barking, the Arkansas owner chose patience.
She gave Tiffany structure, trained her every day, and showered her with endless love.
“There were so many times I sat on my floor crying and burnt out wondering if I should give up like everyone was telling me to. But it will get better, she’s trying her best to understand and will get the hang of it, just keep trying she needs her mama,” Jones wrote in the comments.
Ultimately, Tiffany softened. She listened more, learned commands, and started to relax.
Two years later, Tiffany was a brand-new dog. She was socialized, crate-trained, and obedient. She was perfect!
Still Going Strong
Today, people find it hard to believe Tiffany has come such a long way. The pup who couldn’t sit still now naps calmly on the couch when Bradi leaves the house.
Sure, she’s still energetic, sassy and full of personality in her own Husky ways, but now, Tiffany knows when it’s time to chill.
As it turns out, all she needed this whole time was someone to understand her needs. And now, she finally has her person.
Thanks to Bradi, Tiffany successfully transformed into the ideal companion. She loves people, goes on adventures, and enjoys all the little things in between, while being the best doggo girl.
There’s no doubt she was worth it!
