Texas Female Country Artist of the Decade Bri Bagwell invited her fans and their rescue dogs to send in photos of their pups for her music video 'The Rescue' and it's the sweetest video ever. The song was co-written by fellow singer/songwriter Helene Cronin.

Watch the following video and get those tissues handy! This one is a heartbreaker.

People magazine had an exclusive interview with the country music star and and how the video came to be, "As easy as the song came to be, so did the music video for “The Rescue,” which features more than 200 of Bagwell’s biggest fans with the rescue dogs that they too saved from what could have been a so very uncertain life. “I don't know any of these people, but the love jumps off the screen,” explains Bagwell of the fans and their dogs prominently featured in the music video premiering exclusively on PEOPLE. “You can feel it. I cried when I first saw the finished video. I was like, ‘Why am I crying?’ I don't know any of these dogs.”

Bagwell also shared this sweet post about her beautiful dog Whiskey on Instagram.

The post reads, in part, "It was never a “who saved who” moment for me. She saved me from a relationship that was unhealthy for me. She gave me a new focus, a new emotional support system, and a new best friend, just by existing.I’m not the only one who feels this way about a dog, and I know and love that. Every time that I play this song, I get a ton of people waiting to show me pictures of their rescue animals. The light in someone’s eyes when they tell me their rescue story makes me tear up every time."

Oh my goodness, us too! The video and the song are just so touching. Seeing all these people who rescued animals is just everything.

Another wonderful aspect of this song? Bagwell donated a portion of the proceeds from her Feb. 13 Galentine’s Day livestream concert to the New Braunfels Humane Society and Las Cruces' Safe Haven.

Ways Other Than Adopting to Help Shelter Pets

If you aren't in a place at present where you can welcome a new fur baby into your home and you'd still like to help shelter dogs, any donation helps. Skip your fancy coffee shop drink for a few weeks and donate that to your local Humane Society.

You can also donate bags of food, blankets, old towels, and cleaning products. You can volunteer to foster a dog, or walk a dog, or clean out kennels or to simply spend time with shelter pups.

So many shelters across the United States are overcrowded and underfunded, and any way you can help can make a difference for shelter dogs, even if it's just a small amount.

We just love this new song and video by Bri Bagwell, and we know we'll be adding it to all our music playlists!
