Shelter dogs across the U.S. come from various backgrounds. Most of them likely come with rough pasts, where they were either abandoned, or abused, or have just lived their entire lives as strays never truly knowing real love.
For these shelter pups, a decent groom is the difference between finding a loving home and life in a shelter.
So, the people over at The Animal Rescue Site, Wahl, GreaterGood.org, and One Picture Saves a Life started the Dirty Dogs Contest to prove that these tail-waggers don’t deserve to be judged by their covers! Take a look at some amazing transformations below… (Fair warning you might want to stock up on kleenex.)
