For many rescue dogs, affection is something they have never known. Some have spent their lives on the streets, while others have been abandoned or mistreated. That is why moments of love and care can mean the world to them — and watching them soak it all in is enough to warm anyone’s heart. A video posted by an animal shelter proves just that, showing how a little kindness — and lots of kisses — goes a long way.
Dogs react to being kissed endlessly in heartwarming video
Fetcher Dog — a rescue organization dedicated to saving abandoned dogs — works tirelessly to give animals a second chance. They rescue dogs from overcrowded U.K. pounds, the streets, and even kill shelters in Bosnia, where strays face starvation and abuse. Many of these dogs have never experienced kindness. Yet, once in Fetcher Dog’s care, they receive medical attention and love. At the same time, they get the opportunity to find forever homes in England and Wales.
Recently, the shelter shared a video on their Instagram account (@fetcherdog) that is making waves online. The clip shows shelter volunteers showering the rescue dogs with endless kisses and gentle pets, and the dogs’ reactions say it all. Some snuggle in closer, while others flop onto their backs, hoping for extra belly rubs. A few get so excited that they cannot stop wagging their tails.

In the caption, Fetcher Dog wrote, “Another kissing compilation with a few of our favorites and a few you’ve never seen before!” The shelter also emphasized that they would only show this level of affection to dogs they “know and trust.” This is perhaps because some rescue pups come from difficult backgrounds and may need time to feel safe with the human touch.
The video quickly went viral, collecting over 664K views and 62K likes as people reacted to the sweet display of affection. “Adorable! Their ability to love after all they’ve been through is amazing and brave,” one person wrote. Another added, “I wish all doggos (pets in general) got all the love and care they deserved.” Some even found the video comforting, with one user saying, “I’ve saved this for whenever I’m feeling down. It’s absolutely adorable.”
For these rescue dogs, love is not just a nice gesture — it is life-changing. And thanks to shelters like Fetcher Dog, they’re finally getting the affection they’ve always deserved.
