Jill and Joe Biden fostered the 10-month-old dog before adopting him. Major was surrendered to a shelter after he was "exposed to something toxic."

"Major was one of six puppies that was brought to DHA after being exposed to something toxic in their home," according to the association.
Biden already had a German Shepherd named Champ.

"Their story was shared on social media, seeking fosters to help nurse them back to good health," according to the DHA, which apparently caught the attention of the Bidens. Major's five siblings have also been adopted.

"It was such an honor for us to adopt a puppy to Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden. We make friends for life at DHA and we know that the bond between humans and their pets is incredibly strong,"

We have adopted thousands of animals into homes in Delaware, and we are happy to add the Vice President and his family to our list."
