Adopt a #Valentine from Your Local Animal Shelter | Dog Song Saturday

We're doing something a little different for today's Dog Song Saturday.  Instead of an original dog song we invite you to enjoy two barking good videos encouraging you to adopt a furry Valentine from your local animal shelter or rescue.
So this Valentine's Day head on down to your local shelter and adopt a new best friend.  Can't adopt?  Volunteer, foster, donate.   

First up is ABBA Goes to the Dogs.
This pet adoption video was made by staff and volunteers at the SPCA of Wake County in Raleigh, North Carolina and is accompanied by ABBA's classic hit Take A Chance On Me.  Pretty perfect to promote shelter pets!



Next we have OakTown Pup which is a parody of Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars. Oaktown Pup stars adoptable dogs from the East Bay SPCA in Oakland, CA and we have no doubt you'll love this music video.  The opening shot features a pit bull mix named Carla and don't blink at the :54 mark or you'll miss the sweet doxie on wheels.

Created by the East Bay SPCA in an effort to get more of their rescue dogs adopted, Oaktown Pup is compelling.  We're betting the song's refrain will be an earworm:

Cause time's right for you to adopt!
Oh! And spay or neuter your pup!

Sit. Stay.  Turn up the volume.  Put a smile on your face with Take a Chance On Me.  Get your groove on and get funky with Oaktown Pup sung by  Amanda Shechtman.



Fetch more dog songs and music videos at Talking Dogs.  You'll be surprised at how many we've collected over the years.

Please help spread the word about these beautiful animals via social media and let's find them forever homes!
