Dez Bryant, Wide Receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, Just Did Something Awesome for Shelter Dogs

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 noises, strange people constantly walking by, and no human to call their own.

But Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant decided to do something to help. Recently, Dez bought an entire display of food for shelter dogs.

The Lost Paws Rescue of Texas posted on their Facebook page, “Thank you to Dallas Cowboys Wide Receiver Dez Bryant for supporting Lost Paws Rescue of Texas. Dez purchased this entire table of pet food for the dogs in our rescue group.” 

Thank you, Dez! We love reading amazing stories of compassion such as this one. If you feel inspired after reading this story, 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!
