Every year, hundreds of thousands of dogs enter shelters in unimaginable conditions. Victims of abuse and neglect, they are often filthy, matted, and almost unrecognizable as being dogs.
Imagine going to a job interview, or on a first date, smelly and covered in dirt. That’s what it’s like for millions of shelter pets across the country who are waiting to get adopted. Of the 6.5 million dogs that enter shelters each year, a majority of them have never been groomed. Instead of stealing hearts, potential adopters are turned off.
As part of the Dirty Dogs contest in partnership with Wahl Pets, we're teaming up with Greater Good Charities to ensure that shelters have what they need to give deserving dogs all the grooming care they need to wow adopters.
You can help shelters make these incredible transformations possible. Your gift will send necessary supplies to animal shelters dealing with the worst cases of animal neglect, providing grooming and medical supplies as well as ongoing support for these pets in need. Donate now.

Pete
“In a heartbreaking twist of fate, Pete’s world was turned upside down when his owner tragically passed away, leaving him abandoned and neglected in a backyard. Alone and disheveled, this sweet pup relied on the kindness of a surviving family member who came once a week to feed Pete. They did the best they could. Pete lived for a little over a year all by himself. When Pete was rescued, he was covered in over 2 lbs of filth, feces, and matted hair. It took over two hours of grooming to unveil the handsome boy he truly is. With the support of a caring foster, Pete’s spirit has been reignited as he began to heal both physically and emotionally, rediscovering happiness and trust along the way. Now, Pete is on a mission to find his forever home – a place filled with love, care, and the bright future he deserves.”
Maddie
This stray dog from Tennessee arrived in desperate need of a warm bath and grooming. Since she arrived at Williamson County Animal Center as a stray, no one knows how she ended up on her own. However, it is clear she has been living on the streets for some time.
A local groomer saw Maddie’s photo as the shelter’s “stray of the day” and stepped up to help. Several hours later, the matted and dirty fur was removed and Maddie looked and felt much better. She is ready to find her forever home.
Bella
Arizona Humane Society took in a neglected senior dog and transformed her look and life. Read her story below.
“Now 12-years-young, Bella is a Miniature Poodle who came to the Arizona Humane Society as an owner surrender after her owner fell ill and there was no one else to care for her. It was clear she was in need some much-needed TLC with the shelter’s groomer who helped her feel and look her best. Additionally, she received a dental and was quickly adopted into her forever home in Chandler, AZ where she gets lots of love and care!”
