This video from Animal Humane New Mexico has a simple but important message for the holidays.
In the video, we see a shelter dog being selected by a new family. He gets a round of a applause as he exits the shelter and he’s on to a wonderful new life filled with happy memories – playing in the park, lots of treats and toys, cuddles with his humans.
