Prancer the 'demonic' Chihuahua found a forever home after his brutally honest adoption ad went viral, and his new owner says he's helping her heal

• Prancer the Chihuahua's new owner, Ariel Davis, says the "demonic" dog is perfect for her.
• Prancer went viral in April when his foster mom posted an ad calling him a "13-pound rage machine."
• Davis said when she read the brutally honest ad, she thought she could be his forever home.

A viral adoption ad described Prancer the Chihuahua as a "Chucky doll in a dog's body," but his new owner, Ariel Davis, told the "People Every Day" podcast that he was "perfect" for her.

"It's been absolute heaven, even through the struggles, because life is about struggles," Davis said in the podcast interview. "Nobody has a perfect life. Nothing's ever perfect. It's about what you make of the situation."

Prancer was a 2-year-old Chihuahua living in a foster home until April, when his foster mom, Tyfanee Fortuna, posted a Facebook ad that described him as a "13-pound rage machine" and "a haunted Victorian child in the body of a small dog."

The ad, which is no longer on Facebook, was picked up by the Twitter user @HLMongoose.

The ad said Prancer's "ideal home would be with a single woman, a mother and daughter, or a lesbian couple," adding that he wanted to be "your only child."

"If you have a husband don't bother applying unless you hate him," the adoption ad said.

When Davis saw the ad, she said she was reminded of her dog Doodle, who had similar issues to Prancer's.

"I'm used to dealing with animals that struggle, that have anxiety disorders, that don't get along well with other animals or other people, and I felt right off the bat this little kinship with Prancer," Davis said during the podcast. "He spoke my language and I spoke his."

Davis told "Today" that she had to re-home Doodle and her other dog Blue three years ago because she was struggling with drug addiction.

"I spent a lot of time working with him and understanding his personality and learning about myself through him," she added on "People Every Day," speaking of Doodle.

Davis added on the podcast that she felt she could meet all of Prancer's needs.

"I'm a single woman. I'm a single lesbian. I live with another woman. I don't have any men in my life. I work in a women's rehab. I don't have any other animals. It just felt like a perfect match … and the rest is history," she told People.

Davis told "People Every Day" that she was now in a place where she could take care of herself, her recovery, and an animal.

Fortuna told Davis that when she read her story via email, she said: "This is the one," Davis told "People Every Day."

Davis did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
