"Demonic" chihuahua finds his fur-ever home after his brutally honest viral adoption post

New Haven, Connecticut – Sometimes, the most beautiful relationships can grow out of dark places – as was the case with the viral "demonic" rescue dog and a recovering addict.

Prancer had quite the stint at his foster mom Tyfanee Fortuna's house while she worked tirelessly to find his forever family.

After sharing a hilarious and viciously honest adoption post on Facebook that went viral, Prancer was able to find his fur-ever home in a fellow tortured soul – who was in search of a new beginning herself.

The chihuahua mix had been treated like a spoiled trust-fund baby and was never told no by his former owner, giving him quirks that made him anything but "palatable."

The ad, which touted Prancer as "a vessel for a traumatized Victorian child," found its way into Ariel Davis' feed – as all viral things do – and immediately caught her eye.

According to Fortuna, Prancer needed to be in a woman-run household, due to the "Chucky doll" chihuahua's inability to warm up to her husband in the six months they fostered the animal.

In the viral adoption post, she wrote, "He hates men more than women do, which says a lot. If you have a husband don’t bother applying, unless you hate him."

Off the bat, the man-hating dog was a perfect match for Davis – a single woman who was fresh out of rehab for a marijuana addiction.

In a twist of fate, Davis (36) happens to be a lesbian – making her home the perfect place for Prancer to settle in and start his new life.

The duo were long-lost companions

Davis admired Prancer's neurotic traits, which were a turn-off to his foster parents. Prancer even reminded her of a dog she had before her two-year stint in rehab.

"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," Davis told TODAY.

After a meet-and-greet, it was evident that the two were long-lost companions, and the dog mom was able to take her new fur-ocious friend home that day.

Now, Davis is three years sober, and works at a women's rehab facility helping others overcome their demons. She is hoping to have the same effect on Prancer.

Davis said Prancer has been settling in on his own accord and is surpassing all expectations.

"We're one week into the adoption and he’s really changed my life, too. We’re both adjusting," she added.

Despite his rough edges, Prancer proved that you're never too broken to get a happy ending.
