Many users demanded the dog to be returned to the shelter due to factors such as Daniel's inability to financially support himself, a lack of a constant food source or shelter, his various mental illnesses, and the general negligence he continues to exhibit. Even worse, people feared that [[December 10th Incident|Daniel's violent tendencies]] towards people and property made Music a potential target in Daniel's next [[Meltdowns|meltdown,]] and could result in Daniel hurting the dog in a fit of rage, like he’s done to many others, especially as [[:File:DanielFosterHomeForm.png|documents leaked]] of himself being described as being violent towards animals. | Many users demanded the dog to be returned to the shelter due to factors such as Daniel's inability to financially support himself, a lack of a constant food source or shelter, his various mental illnesses, and the general negligence he continues to exhibit.

Not long after Daniel adopted Music, multiple rescue missions were carried out by people such as [[Ox]], however the most notable one was carried out by former Daniel Larson YouTuber, [[Goated Mines]], and many other members of the /r/Daniellarson subreddit.

After being released from police custody, Daniel made bomb threats against the White House (which he would later be charged for) and was promptly admitted into a psychiatric ward, where he'd stay for the next week. | ||

[[Warren]] most likely told Daniel to keep his location a secret. This can be inferred from the amount of times Daniel was found lying about his location to throw people off of his scent, such as lying about being in motel rooms. Additionally, Daniel was still using [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]], a video making service where people would give him money for him to make custom videos. This gave him plenty of money to adopt a dog.[[File:Longmont Worker Testimony.png|thumb|401x401px|A long Reddit post made by a worker of the Longmont Humane Society.|left]]On July 9th, 2023, Daniel adopted Music (formerly named Zola), a German Shepard mix, from the Longmont Humane Society, an animal shelter in Longmont, Colorado. However, it is not know how long Daniel was in Longmont. Daniel's reasoning for getting a dog was for Music to act as security, more specifically as a "guard dog". While Daniel was allowed to adopt Music and walk out of the shelter with her, workers and bystanders were concerned about Daniel getting a dog, but nobody truly tried to stop him. [[File:Longmont Facebook Comment.png|thumb|A concerned bystanders comment who claims to have seen Daniel whilst adopting Music. ]]There was an attempt by Humane Society employees to slow down the adoption process, but they ultimately allowed Daniel to take Music with him. In a Reddit AMA published on July 11th, 2023 by a worker at the Longmont Humane Society, they admit that the animal shelter did not do any sort of background check on Daniel. | ||

Though, even with this information, they still expressed disgust with the way many members of the Daniel Larson subreddit, and people from other platforms, treated the workers and Longmont Humane Society as a whole. The employee went on to claim that humane society workers had to now had to deal with several emergency service calls which resulted in first responders showing up due to swatting attempts, or false bomb threats. '''While extremely plausible, it’s worth noting that these events are unconfirmed.''' | ||
The worker urged people to stop harassing the Humane Society, as they were actively working to fix the situation, and, beforehand, they were not aware of dangerousness of the situation. Following the incident with Daniel, the society firmly stated that background checks were now under serious review, and confirmed that Daniel had been [[List of places that have banned Daniel|permanently banned.]] | The worker urged people to stop harassing the Humane Society, as they were actively working to fix the situation, and, beforehand, they were not aware of dangerousness of the situation.
