Charlie, the shelter dog. was found abandoned on the side of the road and brought to an adoption center in Los Angeles, California. He was covered in painful sores and abrasions that littered his whole body. The particular shelter he was brought to was a high kill shelter, meaning if Charlie wasn’t adopted quickly he might not make it.

Being adopted seemed like an impossibility for Charlie because of the way he looked. His hair was matted, tangled, and dirty. But the adoption center knew that underneath that ball of fur was a lovable animal ready to bring joy to a family looking for a pet, so they got to work.

Watch this video to see Charlie’s transformation. It’s amazing what a little bit of love can do to change an animal’s life. Share this video to spread awareness about animal adoption. Every animal deserves a chance to be loved
