There is a new show on the Animal Planet that my family has become huge fans of called "Last Chance Highway".
It tracks the efforts of wonderful volunteers who have dedicated themselves (and their own money) to saving the lives of abused and abandoned dogs.
Shelly is the person who rescues the dogs and gets them healthy enough for their new homes, Kyle runs the company that drives thousands of miles every week to deliver them.
They drive as far north as Portsmouth New Hampshire to deliver these pups to their new owners and today is delivery day, so I'll be loading up my camera gear and heading down to photograph it (and to cry like a girly-man).
If you are considering adding a dog to your family might I suggest heading over to PetFinder.com and check out some dogs looking for a loving home (yes they have cats too).
They can also point you in the direction of shelters and resources in your local area.
Maybe you're not looking for a dog right now but want to do something, all of these organizations are looking for support, they can all use your help.
One of the biggest needs at our local shelter are volunteers to come in just to pet and play with the animals.
You can visit Shelly's website here, Kyle's here, PetFinders here, and The Last Chance Highway here.
If you love dogs, if you love happy endings, fire up the popcorn and sit down for Last Chance Highway tonight (Saturdays) at 8.
Below is a 1 minute sample of what you can expect.
