Shelter Shenanigans Live from the local shelter (aka the best place to find your soulmate covered in fur), we bring you rescue dogs that are stealing hearts, going viral, and proving once again that shelter pups are the real MVPs of the animal kingdom. This week, we're howling the praises of rescue dogs everywhere and reminding you: Adopt if you can. Foster if you're able. And always support your local shelters- because every dog deserves their moment in the Nutlight. Ziggy The Accidental Dog Dad After losing their beloved pup, a California family adopted a new rescue named Ziggy- only to discover through a DNA test that Ziggy is actually the biological father of their late dog Rufus. That's right: they unknowingly adopted their dog's dad. Somewhere, the universe whispered, "You weren't ready to let go- so here's his emotionally unavailable father instead." Pixar, clear your schedule. Igor the "Sentient Middle Finger" Rescue Dog Meet Igor: 10 pounds of fluff, fury, and pure spite. Described by his rescue as a "sentient middle finger wrapped in a cloud of fur," Igor went viral for being adorably unadoptable- and somehow ended up on the Today show. He's the dog version of that roommate who drinks your oat milk and gaslights you about it. And yes, people still want to adopt him. Scrim The Houdini Hound Of New Orleans Scrim, a scruffy little escape artist from NOLA, has broken out of more homes than a Sims character trapped by furniture. His latest jailbreak involved leaping from a 13-foot window like a tiny, furry Tom Cruise. He's now a local legend, a Mardi Gras float icon, and probably one grand scheme away from starting a cult. Delano The Shelter Drama King Delano, a rescue dog from Washington, got adopted, got groomed, and then got returned- which he handled with the kind of emotional collapse usually reserved for season finales of Grey's Anatomy. Security cameras caught him leaping into his shelter bed like a betrayed Victorian widow, and the internet lost it. Twenty-two million views later, Delano was adopted for real- presumably by someone who appreciates high-stakes drama and soulful side-eye. The moral? Meltdown harder than your ex at brunch, and the world will love you for it. Kratu The Agility Competition Icon Kratu, a Romanian rescue pup, strutted into the prestigious Crufts agility competition… and promptly rewrote the rules. Instead of jumping over the hurdles, he casually picked one up and carried it off like a prop. He ignored every command, sniffed whatever he wanted, and absolutely refused to participate in the concept of obedience. The crowd? Delirious with joy. His trainer? Emotionally crumpling mid-course. Kratu didn't just steal the show- he mugged it, rolled in it, and then took a nap. Today, he's a beloved therapy dog and viral sensation- living proof that being a total disaster can, in fact, be your superpower. That's all for this week's tail-waggin' edition of The Weekly Nut! Remember, adopting a rescue pup doesn't just change their life- it also gets you unlimited licks, loyalty, and legally binding cuddle contracts.   Nutasha and I are actually headed to the shelter ourselves- strictly to look, she says (but she's already brought a tiny bed, three toys, and a name list that includes "Sir Wigglebottom" and "Bark Twain"). I suspect we'll be bringing home more than just pamphlets.   So if you've got room in your home- and your heart- swing by your local shelter. You might just meet your new best friend… or in our case, a very confused corgi who thinks he's a squirrel.   Until next time- stay nutty, stay kind, and adopt, don't shop!  The "soon to be rescue dog dad" Squirrel Wait… Really? You're already looking for the Unsubscribe. button? Well, just know we have a pigeon army, and they WILL find you. But go ahead… Hit that button and see what happens.
