There are lots of dogs at the shelter
who need help finding a home.
- And Elmo love them all.
Are you tired?
Yeah, Elmo’s tired too.
- Hi, I’m Elli.
I rescue dogs and help them find their forever homes.
- Yeah, and Elmo helps too!
- All right. Well, we’ll see you soon, son.
Okay, bye-bye, Daddy!
Bye-bye, Tango.
Bye, Tango.
Yeah!
Oh, come on, Miss Elli,
let’s see some doggies!
- You want to play ball?
- Get the ball! Get the ball!
- You want to play ball? Catch!
- Fetch!
Meet Diesel,
the most energetic dog at the shelter.
- Diesel’s first family couldn’t keep him
because they didn’t realize how much responsibility a dog is.
Yeah, especially one with lots of wiggles
like Diesel.
- Right.
He was always asking to play tug-of-war.
- Grr! Get it, get it!
And hide-and-seek.
Ah!
Diesel!
Elmo’s gonna need a nap.
Ah!
- If we wanted to find Diesel a family,
first we’d have to help him get his wiggles out.
- Oh, well, Elmo will help you get your wiggles out, Diesel.
Elmo’s got lots of wiggles.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!
Elmo knew fetch always tired him out.
Get the ball! - You want to get it?
Go get it!
- So Elmo played fetch.
Good boy, Diesel.
Get the ball! Get the ball!
And fetch!
And more fetch.
- Go get it!
- Elmo played a lot of fetch.
Here we go.
Fetch.
Can Elmo just lean on you for a second?
- Ah.
After lots and lots of playing,
Diesel calmed down,
but—
phew!
Elmo and Miss Elli are tired.
What if Diesel has too many wiggles for a family?
- Oh, don’t worry Elmo.
We will find the perfect match for him.
And it turns out
there was a kid with a lot of energy
looking for a dog.
- You’re looking online all the time, right?
Oh, he’s so cute.
- Rogan is 10 years old,
and he has a lot of energy too.
- Yeah, he really, really wanted a doggy.
- Rogan had the energy Diesel needed,
and he was ready for the responsibility that comes with a dog.
- So,
Rogan and his family came to the shelter
to meet Diesel.
Elmo’s so excited for Diesel
to meet Rogan and his family!
Are you excited?
- Yes!
- Hi!
So, you guys, this is Diesel.
What do you think of this family?
- Diesel!
- He’s so fluffy!
- He’s just a puppy,
so he’s got a lot of energy.
- I can definitely see that.
- Yeah, what do you think?
- He’s super playful. - Yeah!
- It does sound like you guys might be the right home for him.
- Yes!
- I love him.
- Well, I’m glad you said that because
I would really like to bring Diesel to your home tomorrow.
- Whoa!
Diesel’s going to be with us tomorrow!
Belly rub, belly rub, belly rub, belly rub.
- Brush, brush, brush.
Brush, brush, brush.
Looking good, Diesel!
Then,
it was time for Diesel to see his family.
Welcome home, Diesel!
- Come on, Diesel! - Hi!
- He’s so cute!
- Oh, I love you!
- We love him.
- So good! - Yes!
- We knew we’d found the perfect match.
I think Diesel’s really gonna like it here.
Yeah, Elmo thinks so too.
Elmo will miss you, Diesel.
But Elmo’s so happy
you found your forever family with Rogan!
- I think you have a new best friend.
- Oh, yes.
Yeah, my best, best, best friend.
