It can be tough seeing pets in shelters as they wait for their forever homes, but committed shelter workers go to creative lengths to pamper their charges.

Some shelters are accepting donations of comfy used chairs for dogs to use for naps. If you haven’t seen videos of pooches curled up on these cushioned thrones, you’re in for a treat. This also lets potential adopters see how a pet might look at home. Some facilities have gone a step further by setting up real-life rooms where pets can get used to life with a family.

And lest you be concerned, cats are getting special care, too. Instead of being cooped up in cages, many meowers spend time with toys and hide-outs in large indoor-outdoor rooms.

If it’s been a while since you’ve visited a shelter, you’re likely to be pleasantly surprised by what you see.
