Tonya McClure was so excited to meet her new fur baby, Bryce.

Bryce was found walking down a road in Bryceville after a wildfire, but his owners never came forward, according to ActionNewsJax.com.

Nassau County Animal Services received a bunch of applications to adopt Bryce, and posts featuring Bryce on social media reached hundreds of thousands of people.

But in the end, Animal Services thought the McClures were the best fit.

“I love him already. It was meant to be, I think,” McClure said.

There were about 50 finalists that Animals Services had to go through, but the director said it was the note on the back of McClure’s application that won them over.

"I said I'd be willing to give him back to the owners if they come forward at any point," McClure said.
 
The McClures have two other Yorkies, and that was another factor in picking the McClure family. McClure said she thinks his personality will be a perfect fit for their family.
