The Epic Moment Shelter Dogs Experience Warm Beds for the First Time is Sure to Make Your Day (VIDEO)

Every year, six to eight million animals enter U.S. shelters, but only three to four million get adopted. Life in an animal shelter can be understandably terrifying for dogs as their days are filled with loud shelter noises, strange people constantly walking by, and no human to snuggle up with in bed.

When YouTube celebrity Stuart Edge went to volunteer at his local animal shelter for the first time, he realized first hand just how depressing a shelter can truly be. So he decided to do something about it. How could he instantly help all of the wonderful dogs he just met at the animal shelter? Dog beds! He left the shelter and went straight to the store.

Together with a group of friends, Stuart took the dogs out for some fresh air and a nice long walk before bringing them back to surprise them with their new beds. As you can see from the above video, their reaction is priceless. The dogs instantly climbed into their plush, warm beds, and cozy up for naps.

If you feel inspired after watching this video, you can make a difference in the lives of homeless animals simply by volunteering. Organizations rely heavily on volunteers to assist with animal care and day-to-day operations. There’s never a shortage of things to do and opportunities are available for people of every skill set. You can help take dogs for walks, give them food and water, and make sure their area is clean. If your preference is helping out behind the scenes, you can volunteer your services by assisting with fundraisers, outreach events or general office tasks. And please, always adopt and never shop!
