Shelter dogs have usually gone through a lot. Some of them spent most of their life on the streets, while others were abandoned by their owners and are now hurting due to separation.

Animal shelter San Diego Humane Society is determined to make their residents forget about the hurt they had in their lives. They are making sure the dogs have the most relaxing time while they are in the shelter, waiting to find their happy home, by providing them with sound-proof and angled habitats.

San Diego Humane Society recently showcased these habitats in a video shared on Instagram and they are everything a dog could ask for.

“We’re so happy to see our pups relaxing until they find their new homes!,“ the shelter’s social media team wrote in caption of the heartwarming clip.

Social media users were amazed by the lengths that the San Diego Humane Society takes to ensure the dogs have the best time possible while they are with them.

“This is how shelters should be. Well funded and empathetic to the needs of these poor animals who were already traumatized before ending here,” one user commented.

“As someone who used to work in a shelter, this is an absolutely beautiful set up,” another added.

Conference call apps like Zoom have been more popular than ever during the recent months due to coronavirus pandemic. Many companies and teams needed to adjust quickly and switch from office settings to working from home, and this meant having the meetings virtually as well. Ask anybody who’s ever attended one of those meetings about their favorite moment or story about them, and they’ll most likely tell you that they enjoyed seeing a coworker’s pet on camera at some point. Animal shelter Richmond Animal Care from Virginia now lets you borrow a dog or cat for your next Zoom meeting!

Companies have an option to contact the shelter and arrange a date and time for a homeless animal to come to visit. It’s possible to request a specific animal or its temperament. Whether you prefer a quiet dog or a restless cat, they got you covered. They even do “office backgrounds” which make the animals look like corporate movers and shakers.

“We were just thinking of something we could do that would make people smile,” the shelter’s director Christie Chipps Peters told The Dodo. “We are surrounded by animals every day, and we really do understand the love and comfort that comes from them.”

Bad vibes don‘t go with my outfit! 💁🏼‍♀️ 😂 #happytogether Ich weiß auch nicht, irgendwie sieht Happy wie eine gebleichte Version von Nicky aus.🤷🏼‍♀️😂 Heutiges Thema: Gruppenarbeit, wenn Nicky, Theo und Happy Menschen wären.👨‍👨‍👦 Nicky würde die Rolle einnehmen, die nie zu einem Meeting erscheint (wir kennen sie alle). Theo wäre bemüht, würde den ganzen Tag erzählen, was für geniale Ideen er hat und sich schlussendlich vor Eifer mit der Schere ein Auge ausstechen. Naja und Happy würde sich dann um die Gruppenarbeit allein kümmern. Aber für ihn wäre es weniger eine Last und viel eher eine Wohltat für die Menschheit. „Mit etwas Glitter sieht die ganze Angelegenheit auch wieder ganz entzückend aus.“ Solche Sätze würde er sagen.🤓😂 Er würde die Nacht durch machen, damit die Gruppenarbeit rechtzeitig fertig wird, würde dann morgens neben dem Zähneputzen noch eine Hühnerbrühe für Theo kochen und sich ein Tutorial für den richtigen Umgang mit Augenerkrankungen ansehen. 😂 Und wenn Theo und Nicky dann obligatorisch ihre Traurigkeit beteuern, weil sie nicht so viel beitragen konnten, würde Happy mit:“ Ach, alles gut. Das habe ich gern gemacht.“ antworten.😂 Abends würde Happy dann im Bett liegen und sich Gedanken machen, ob er Theo vielleicht mit der Hühnersuppe zu nahe getreten ist. „Hoffentlich denkt er nicht, ich wollte mich über ihn lustig machen, weil er einen Hühnerkörper hat. 🐥Das war ja nur fürsorglich gemeint. Hoffentlich ist er nicht verletzt und hasst mich jetzt.“ 😶 Na gut, irgendwie bin ich mir jetzt etwas unsicher, ob ich von Happy oder mir geschrieben habe.😂🤷🏼‍♀️ werbung Halsbänder und Leinen von @isartau ❤🌈

The accuracy was measured by Arizona State University researchers. They gathered DNA from over 900 dogs and compared the results.

“The level of genetic diversity in the shelter dogs exceeded our expectations,” the study’s lead author Lisa Gunter said. “We found 125 distinct breeds.”

While the shelters commonly reported they had around 25% of purebred dogs, the actual number was closer to 5%.
