“To say that we are beyond excited is an understatement! The staff and volunteers have worked VERY hard to take care of the animals in our care and to make sure they got adopted to the right home!” the animal shelter said in a post on Facebook Friday. “This is the first time in 47 YEARS that the Adams County SPCA is empty let alone at Christmas time, it is a true miracle!”

A state trooper decided to give a dog a new home after responding to an abandoned animal call, Michigan officials said.

Kayla Moore, from the Gaylord Post, was called to Antrim County after getting reports of an abandoned dog, according to a July 16 post on Twitter by Michigan State Police.

She picked up the black pup and made her way to the Antrim County Animal Shelter when “something special happened,” officials said.
