The short video starts by showing the security footage tape that started it all before switching to show the happy dogs as they make their way out of the reception area with their new parents. 

Blair Foy, a marketing and communications manager for Minneapolis, told People it was "heartwarming" to see the community response to the video. 

She added how sweet it was that the dogs would now have "a chance to have a new family forever, and that they get to be together".
