After a cute pup named Prissy was rescued from a life spent on a concrete slab in the scorching Tennessee heat, she needed to go through the typical shelter motions before being put up for adoption. First and foremost, she had to be spayed. While it’s a super routine surgery, dogs who go through it still feel a little groggy and sore when all is said and done.
One shelter staffer knew of a super cute habit Prissy had of wagging her tail in her sleep, so what better time to capture that on camera than while she was in a post-op slumber? The staffer pulled out their phone and started recording. What they ended up capturing, however, was even sweeter. Another shelter worker decided to lay down with Prissy so that when she woke up a little sore from surgery, she wouldn’t feel scared or alone.
“Moments like this are a regular sight at the shelter, however, catching them on camera is rare. The staff usually run when a camera comes out! Sorry, Chrissy, I had to show it,” said the worker who captured the footage. Watch the adorable encounter in the video down below.

How awesome is this? All “shelters” should have people there who LOVE animals and treat them like this lovely girl is.

Thank you for showing so much heartfelt kindness towards Prissy after her spay. As a NH resident I felt proud to know that your great work is in my State!

Beautiful story!!! What a Pawsome human!!!! You will be blessed for your acts of kindness! I pray the puppet is also blessed with her furever home! Who knows… maybe it will be you

Very sad! People can be so cruel and neglectful, it warms my heart to see these animals saved, too bad the little Immigrant Children locked in cages, don’t get the same respect

A beautiful video capturing the love and care provided by the staff to animals in need of love/comfort. Especially touching because the next post concerns a dog that was abused at a shelter…. hank you.

Such a wonderful place and people who care. I have co-worker who is retiring in two weeks, and her big thing she’s looking forward to doing is volunteering at one of out local shelters. We live in a no kill county, so volunteers are necessary to rehabilitate the animals for adoption.
