According to statistics from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), "Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats." Of the those, 31 percent of dogs and 41 percent of cats are euthanized.
Homelessness means these babies are often malnourished, in need of medical attention, and hungry. Most shelters are understaffed and understocked with the resources they need to help nurture these homeless animals, and that means any and all help is welcome.
The pranksters behind the viral YouTube channel DMPranksProductions decided to use their social media following to do something great. On a cold day, they loaded up their trucks with 880 lbs. of food for dogs and delivered it to a shelter in need. They spent the afternoon unloading box after box, bag after bag until the shelter had all of it.
And then? They gave these dogs something they needed even more than food: They spent the afternoon playing with these homeless rescues around the property, even taking time to pet and feed a couple of the special needs rescues. They also asked in the video's description that anyone interested in helping end homelessness for these pets head to International Animal Rescue to find out how they can pitch in.
