President-Elect Joe Biden's German Shepherd Major to Be First Rescue Dog in the White House

Dogs everywhere are wagging their tails as the White House has been without pooches for the past four years

Now introducing the First Dog-elects, Major and Champ Biden!

For the first time in four years, dogs are heading back to the White House thanks to president-elect Joe Biden, who won the election over Donald Trump on Saturday.

Biden's German shepherd, Major, will also make history as the first rescue dog to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, according to NBC News.

The Biden family adopted Major from the Delaware Humane Association in November 2018, 10 years after the couple welcomed their first German shepherd, Champ.

“We are so happy to welcome Major to the Biden family, and we are grateful to the Delaware Humane Association for their work in finding forever homes for Major and countless other animals,” the Bidens said in a statement at the time.

(there need to be many more WH cats) aren't rescues of some kind. Rescues and shelter animals are the best!
