Megan Thee Stallion has rescued a dog that was only hours away from being euthanized, sharing the emotional moment with fans in a heartfelt Instagram video posted March 27.
In the clip, the rapper introduced her new pet, a dog she named Tyger, explaining that she stepped in after learning about the situation at a New York City animal shelter.
Clearly shocked, she told followers, "I was yesterday years old when I found out that there's a such thing as a kill shelter, and they are putting down dogs when they can not find them a home."
According to ENews, she added that Tyger had been scheduled to be put down the day before she adopted him.
"That is insane. They were going to put him down yesterday," she said. "And I said, 'No, wait. Just give him to me. I'll take him.'"
The rescue took place at Animal Care Centers of NYC, where the dog had been waiting for a home.
Megan's quick decision changed the animal's fate, turning what could have been his final day into a fresh start.
