The pets at The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County were in for a delightful treat this Thanksgiving. Ahead of the holiday, they were given special meals that had them bouncing with joy.

The shelter’s video highlights their dedicated volunteers, who prepared and served the delicious food to the dogs. The feast included green beans, turkey, and a variety of other dishes.

The volunteers cooked the food in large quantities and served it on plates to the shelter pets. The moment the dogs saw the food, they started gobbling it up with excitement.

Most of them went straight for the turkey before moving on to the green beans and other treats. Some dogs waited eagerly for their turn to be served. Once they got their plates full of the Thanksgiving meal, their tails wagged furiously in delight.

But the meal wasn’t the only special treat. The pets also received some much-needed post-meal cuddles from the volunteers. The shelter’s kittens joined in on the festivities too, enjoying their meals with the help of the volunteers.

To top it off, the pets were given pumpkin pup cups with whipped cream as a dessert, which they polished off with gusto. The furry friends ended their feast with a cozy nap.

This touching video has received over 2.7 million views on TikTok. Viewers expressed their gratitude to the shelter for making Thanksgiving special for the pets and praised the volunteers for their extraordinary efforts.
