A rescue person on a forum I belong to posted this video and it’s now doing the rounds on facebook amongst rescue people/dog lovers. It has a happy ending but you will need tissues! You will need to click on the link below as I can not yet work out how to embed the video without it taking over the entire screen, sorry!

Seeing those poor dogs lined up in the kennels, not knowing whether they will still be alive come New Year, and knowing this happens all around the world, including in the UK, breaks my heart. It really, really does.
I hope the video will encourage others to get involved in rescue, to offer to foster, transport, homecheck, fundraise, do a sponsored-something-or-other and most importantly to make their next dog a rescue dog. When a dog in rescue finds a new home, a space is created for another dog – maybe one of those dogs waiting on “death row”.
I look at my own rescue dogs, snuggled up in front of the fire I’ve just lit for them, or laying together on the sofa, and am wishing SO HARD that every dog – indeed every animal and person – could be so fortunate.
I WISH every dog could be in a loving home, being adored, having fun …
