There are thousands of homeless dogs living all over the United States. These abandoned, often previously abused sweethearts struggle every day to survive without a family who loves them or a safe home to call their own.

It can be overwhelming, thinking of how to help these poor babies. But the truth is, it just takes a little organization and a whole lot of heart.

In the clip below, two organizations who dedicate their efforts to seeking out these dogs in need came together to offer them a second chance. Hope for Paws and ASPCA make it a point to find homeless, forgotten dogs wandering the street. They rescue these vulnerable pups and provide them with medicated baths, haircuts and human kindness before helping coordinate their transfer to a shelter.

So beautiful. Grab your tissues, folks!

Such inspiring work, isn’t it? One day, these dogs are wandering, afraid and alone on the dangerous streets of our cities. The next, they’re given a chance to start over. Truly moving stuff. What did you think of their transformations?
