The Los Angeles-based animal rescue Maeday Rescue shared on May 17 that they had two adorable puppies available for adoption, Siobhan and Tom.

They said in a Facebook post that rheir mom was rescued from the streets. The people who rescued her decided to keep her, but they had no idea she was pregnant.

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.
