Turns Out, Joe Biden’s Dog Major Will Be The First Shelter Dog To Live In The White House In History
On Saturday, after days and days of waiting for the election results, thousands of people went out to the streets, rooftops, and balconies armed with cheerful posters, signs, and American flags to celebrate the beginning of a brand new and much-awaited era. It was a truly beautiful celebration all over the country, honoring the day of Joe Biden being elected as the new President of the United States.
And you know what? There’s one particular thing that’s making this year’s election this much more exciting. Turns out, in January 2021, Biden’s doggy Major will officially be the first-ever shelter dog to live in the White House. Have you ever seen a more accurate representation of the classic “started from the bottom, now we’re here” quote by Drake? I sure haven’t.

Turns out, the adorable Major has been a part of the Biden family since 2018. The doggy came to the Delaware Humane Association when he was a small baby along with five of his siblings. Joe and Jill first heard about Major when their daughter showed them a litter of puppies needing to be temporarily homed.
For instance, Biden’s doggy Major is about to be the first-ever shelter dog to be living in the White House

And after fostering the little good boy for some time, the couple fell absolutely in love with Major and decided to adopt him from the Delaware Humane Society.
The doggy was adopted from the Delaware Humane Association back when he was a puppy

“Today is Major’s lucky day! Not only did Major find his forever home, but he got adopted by Vice President Joe Biden & Dr. Jill Biden! The Bidens have gotten to know Major while fostering him and are now ready to make the adoption official. Best of luck and thank you for being one of our Friends for life!” the Delaware Humane Association announced the good news on Facebook in November 2018.
The Bidens also got another dog named Champ, who has been with the family since 2008

Champ is a German shepherd who was purchased from a high-volume commercial breeder back in 2008. Apparently, the Bidens received quite a bit of criticism for buying a dog when there are so many of them living in shelters.
Now the two furry boys are best of friends

I used to think he had a Guinea pig, but then I realized that it was just his hair.

Nice. But if Biden really want to unite divided factions in the country he needs to get a couple of cats.

Two peas in a pod. Nobody wanted either of them. I’d rather have the dog as president though.

Well, that's wonderful. All it takes to be a good president is to own a shelter dog!

Awwww, I love these doggos. I have a shelter dog, and he's a german shepherd, he looks like Champ, but with Major's body type, he's a very good boy, and I'm sure Biden's dogs are good boys too <33

wow lots of snowflakes and blind sheep on here. Biden is incompetent, If you haven't figured it out yet from watching his rare little interviews, then you are a dumbass. And yes my comment about his dog is true, Biden said so himself. Idiots Dumb Joe broke his foot chasing his dogs tail while he was naked and fresh outta the shower.

Well, I must say, fantastic news to my ears. Not being American, if I were I would have voted for Mr., J Biden, especially once I knew he loved dogs, perhaps the new president, could make some changes for the laws, pertaining to stronger punishment, I have always felt that , the laws were far too soft, also, in some cases, the number of pets allowed, in homes should be reduced, I have had dogs, now I have two cats, all of them were rescued, my point is the cost, so too many simply means, not enough money for food and care, therefore, that needs to be discussed, if I had more money, I would have more pets !!!

Cute story but factually wrong. LBJ had a rescue dog living with him in the White House in 1965. Before making BS claims, do some research.

Does it really surprise you though? Journalism is dead! The dogs are cute though! With some luck, maybe they will actually be running the country! 😂😂

Did this have a point? Hitler was another corrupt and evil man that loved dogs. Vegetarian, too. Having a dog does not make you decent.
Christina Uhlir 4 years ago
Did he really? There are many "animal lovers" who treat pets like a mere object. There are people who became vegetarians out of love for suffering farm animals, and there are people who become vegetarians just for health reasons.

Having a rescue only proves that Uncle Joe has a good, genuine heart. This is a couple, who are real people who relate to the middle class because that's where they came from. Not inherited wealth & never worked a day in their lives.

He better enjoy the stolen election while he can. Kamala has plans to make short work of his master and send the old man to a retirement home. Too bad doggie. They probably won't let you in there.
