Dancing Her Way Out Of Misery

The scene we found last week at a Tennessee puppy mill was tragically typical: 225 dogs confined in filthy cages, utterly lacking human care and compassion.

Within hours, we'd transported them to an emergency shelter set up by The HSUS and our partners. After much TLC, the dogs are clean, fed, and obviously relieved.

Relief alone doesn't quite capture the feelings of one pup who broke out in joyful dance. We're pretty certain she was brimming with pleasure over the loving attention and a second chance at life. Watch our heartwarming video.

Thanks for all you do for animals.
