'You are spectacular and we (and the dogs) are grateful.'
Dozens of volunteers showed up to snuggle with the pups during fireworks
For those of us with fur babies, the Fourth of July can be a tricky night. It’s a night of fireworks, parades, and general noisiness and for pups who get a little nervous when the decibel of anything goes above a whisper, it can be a nerve-wracking night for all involved. While many of us stay with our pups or turn music on to reduce anxiety, for the thousands of pets in shelters, it can be a scary event.
Maricopa County Animal Care and Control in Arizona hosted its annual “Calm the Canines” event where volunteers came in and sat with the pups while the festivities went on nearby. The pictures from the night will restore your faith in humanity. “To the people who spent the 4th comforting our County’s shelter dogs: the staff and volunteers want you to know we are in love with you all right now,” they write. “We have never been more proud of our animal loving community. You ROCK! People from all walks of life showed up to our community shelters tonight to make life just a little better for the homeless dogs in our care.”“You are spectacular and we are grateful,” the shelter continued. “We hope to see you all on New Year’s Eve.
