I'll start by discussing the rhetorical strategies used, such as humor, exaggeration, and relatability. Then, I'll delve into how these strategies effectively convey the message and engage the audience. This ad points to go beyond just selling a product by creating an emotional connection with the audience. The author wants the viewers to experience empathy, feel inspired to adopt senior, physically challenged, and unique dogs, and understand the importance of supporting the cause.  The ad promotes a lifestyle of compassion(suffer together) and responsibility towards animals, emphasizing the value of giving these dogs a loving home. The target audience is likely pet lovers who are open to adopting dogs from shelters. The ad reflects American culture's appreciation for the emotional impact of pet adoption.
