    The day a dog is rescued is a very special day indeed. It should be celebrated in a grand way. Chili the rescued Greyhound just experienced the best surprise party to commemorate her "Gotcha Day," and, well, it's the most precious thing you'll see today.

    In a heartwarming TikTok video shared by her account, @chilithegreyhound , Chili is enjoying the party thrown in his honor and rightfully so. Check out the little sweetheart and prepare to fall in love!

    In the brief 9-second clip captioned, "I think he's taking it all in," Chili lays peacefully on a blanket outside, taking in the sights and sounds of his very own surprise party. Adorably dressed in the cutest spaghetti pajama outfit, he watches on as all of the people that love and support him gather around him. Multiple dogs were in attendance this boy's special day making all that much sweeter.

    This Greyhound has quite a following of more than 157,000 people, so it's no wonder everyone is collectively sobbing in the comments section.

    "'...All this is for me?'" one person remarked, noting Chili's disposition. "I’m sobbing, he deserves this. I love him so much, happy gotcha day you beautiful boy!!!!" another said. "Chili you deserve the world," another added, to which Chili's Mom replied, "I tell him every day."

    Chili deserves only the best the world has to offer and that's exactly what his Mom is giving him.

    Reasons To Adopt a Shelter Dog Like Chili

    Thank goodness Chili found a forever home, but there are thousands of others sitting in shelters or in foster care waiting for theirs. Among some of the top reasons to adopt a shelter dog , the ASPCA says adopting opens space for a new dog to come in so you're actually saving two lives.

    Not only are you giving a great pup a second chance at life but they're full of gratitude and unconditional love. Many people opt to buy a dog from a breeder, though there are many full-breed dogs already waiting for a home, so it's worth checking out your local shelter and rescues. You never know—you might find your new best friend.

    Of course, there are obvious reasons, such as having a walking buddy or someone to unwind with after a long day (and they won't judge you!), but the biggest reason of all to adopt from a shelter or rescue is to see their little faces the day they know they're going to a real home with someone who loves them.
