Many animal shelters recognize the importance of making the holiday season, including Thanksgiving, a special and comforting time for the animals in their care. And as we know, Thanksgiving is the day we give and help out others in need, whether they're humans or animals.

TikToker @mrsacadiana captured a video, posted on November 20, of eager advocates helping to feed the shelter dogs with a Thanksgiving feast provided by the Las Vegas animal shelter, The Animal Foundation, and it will melt your heart. Let's check it out!

Oh, my goodness! This is too sweet!

It's not uncommon for animal shelters and rescue organizations to organize special meals or treats for the animals in their care during holidays like Thanksgiving, and it's safe to say the dogs loved this special meal very much!

Providing a special Thanksgiving meal for shelter dogs not only adds a festive touch to their environment but also helps create a sense of warmth and care for these animals, who don't have permanent homes.

It looks like they were fed some pumpkin puree, blueberries with yogurt, green beans, and what looks like freeze-dried meat.

Holidays often bring an influx of volunteers to shelters, and the extra attention from staff and volunteers can help alleviate feelings of loneliness for the animals since many animals may feel distressed, sad, and lonely about not having a permanent home.

Therefore, shelter staff and volunteers often go the extra mile to create a positive and festive environment for these animals.

Whether it's spending more time playing, walking, or simply providing companionship, the additional human interaction is beneficial.

It sure makes a difference!

Now is the season to adopt one of those fur babies!
