Adopter be ware.

That's the message that a desperate New Jersey foster mom shared in a recent plea to animal lovers potentially interested in adopting a Chihuahua named Prancer. In a viral post shared on Facebook, animal foster mom Tyfanee Fortuna attempted to make an appeal to adopters on behalf of the dog whom she describes as a "haunted Victorian child in the body of a small dog that hates men and children."

The post didn't take long to go viral.

In a shockingly honest post, Fortuna spoke on the personality traits of the dog named Prancer on social media.

"There’s not a very big market for neurotic, man-hating, animal-hating, children-hating dogs that look like gremlins," Fortuna underlined in the post shared to Facebook. "But I have to believe there’s someone out there for Prancer, because I am tired and so is my family. Every day we live in the grips of the demonic Chihuahua hellscape he has created in our home."

It didn't take long for Fortuna's comedic Facebook post about Prance to amass nearly 64K shares.

"Prancer only likes women. Nothing else," another portion of the post explained. "He hates men more than women do, which says a lot. If you have a husband don’t bother applying, unless you hate him."

Now it turns out that Prancer, one of the most un-adoptable sounding dogs, has found a home!

Ariel Davis of New Haven, Connecticut, came across Prancer while browsing Facebook and decided she had a match.

“I had a dog that I adopted probably about seven years ago and I raised him from a puppy and he was a Chihuahua/Jack Russel Terrier mix,” she explained in an interview with Today. “He had a lot of the same qualities as Prancer, he was a little neurotic and he barked a lot and he didn’t work well with other people and other animals. I spent a lot of time working with him and understanding his personality and learning about myself through him."

Soon after seeing the post, Davis emailed the Second Chance Pet Adoption League and explained why she connected with Prancer. Davis then made the trip from New Haven to New Jersey.

“I got there and we just connected,” she explained. “Prancer took pretty well to me. Eventually, I took Prancer for a walk and he wasn’t nipping at me or biting at my heels. We just got along. With my story and the fact that I didn’t come off as incredibly crazy just kind of meshed and everything seemed to go well. He went home with me that day. He was a perfect little gentleman in the car.”

Smitten viewers of the post who were interested in Prancer were thankfully quick to request a chance to adopt him.

"We are still accepting applicants who are within a 3- to 4-hour radius of New Jersey, as we are still sifting through applications and trying to pick out his best fit," Fortuna explained to Today in an interview. "A lot of people have applied who have husbands and pets, and we’d prefer he go to a home with just women and no other pets."

Fortuna works as foster mom for the Oak Ridge, New Jersey-based Second Chance Pet Adoption League and is hopeful that someone will help Prancer find a suitable and loving home. 

WhileFortuna was sure to underline some of Prancer's more intense traits, she also listed those that plenty would find loveable.

"He is loyal beyond belief, although to tell you a secret his complex is really just a facade for his fear. If someone tried to kill you I can guarantee he would run away screeching. But as far as companionship, you will never be alone again," she wrote of the sweetie. "He likes to go for car rides, he is housebroken, he knows a few basic commands, he is quiet and non-destructive when left alone at home, and even though we call him bologna face he is kind of cute to look at."
