Every shelter pet deserves a fresh start.
Half of all dogs entering shelters are not getting the grooming they need. That’s why Wahl and Greater Good Charities are working to clean up and clear out animal shelters. Thanks to grooming supplies donated by Wahl, shelters in need will transform thousands of dogs this year — helping them to find forever homes.
You can help support shelters too. Browse the before and after gallery, like or share an adoptable dog on social media or reach out and adopt one of these amazing animals.
