Needless to say, it was a “giant shock” when she went into labor just a few weeks later. The family raised the puppies with their mama until they were 9 weeks old, and then they were placed with a foster family through Maeday.

They were pleased to share an update just a few weeks later that Tom had been adopted by none other than Pompeo!

“Tom has been adopted thanks to @ellenpompeo. He now has an amazing family, dog brothers and sisters and so much love,” Maeday Rescue shared on Instagram.

They went on say, ” He is a very lucky boy! Enjoy your life Tom, we love you!”

We’re so happy for Tom and Pompeo! Based on the photos in the Instagram post, it looks like he’s already living his very best puppy life.
