A heartwarming adoption story is getting attention online. A TikTok creator named Rachel, who calls herself an "animal influencer," visited a shelter and asked to meet its "least wanted dog," which turned out to be a pit bull named Nancy who has received no adoption applications.

Nancy arrived at the shelter after her owner died and was very depressed.

Rachel decided she was going to visit Nancy and take her on weekly outings. She shared videos that showed a playful, affectionate dog who loved toys, kisses, and time at the park. She also helped work on Nancy's training to boost her chances of finding a home.

The videos gave viewers a completely different picture of the shelter dog's personality, and after weeks of attention and care, Nancy was finally adopted. The story is also sparking conversations about pit bulls, which are disproportionately represented in U.S. animal shelters.

TikTok Adoption Goes Viral - Zack's Good News

Marc Brown, an attorney in Columbia, South Carolina, just donated 1,300 backpacks filled with school supplies to students in Hampton County, enough to provide a bookbag for every public school student from Pre-K through sixth grade in the district.

Brown says supporting students is especially important because his mother was a life-long teacher. "My mom was a public school teacher in South Carolina for over 30 years, so I make it a goal to support students however I can," he said.  "By showing out appreciation to the families across Hampton County, we are empowering our community."

The giveaway ensures hundreds of families can start the school year with one less expense to worry about.

Attorney Donates 1,300 Backpacks to Kids In Need - Zack's Good News

Children’s Palace is a preschool and childcare center in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Along with the usual preschool and childcare fun the kids enjoy, Children's Palace also organizes an event called "Birthday Party for a Friend We Don't Know" drive, which teaches students the power of generosity.

Last week, the kids at Children’s Palace put together a collection of gifts for a young friend at the La Crosse Salvation Army Shelter — and then delivered the gifts, along with freshly baked cakes.

Thanks to extra support from different businesses and organizations in the area, Children's Palace pulled off its largest donation since starting the tradition back in 2004 — and giving shelter kids a big, unforgettable birthday celebration.
