– Wahl joins forces with Greater Good Charities and
animal advocate Lee Asher to
highlight the impact of grooming on dog adoption –
STERLING, Ill., May 13, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- May marks National Pet Month, and it's a time to
celebrate the love and companionship our furry friends bring into
our lives; however, let's not forget about the dogs still awaiting
their forever homes. With over three million dogs entering shelters
every year, adoption remains a critical solution for giving these
pets the love and care they deserve. Sadly, due to a lack of
resources, a significant number of rescue dogs are deprived of
vital grooming which significantly improves their health, happiness
and chance of adoption. That's why pet industry leader
Wahl and Greater Good Charities, a global nonprofit, have
partnered again for the 13th annual Dirty Dogs Contest. Wahl
donated grooming supplies to rescues and shelters nationwide, and
they in turn shared amazing Before and After grooming photos —
including the Top 10 Shelter Dog Makeovers of 2024.

From now until May 31,
2024, public votes will decide the three top dogs. The
organizations affiliated with these dogs will receive a total of
$15,000 in monetary grants to further
support their efforts — $10,000 will
go to the first-place winner!

amazing makeovers and vote for your favorite.
Wahl is also proud to continue its collaboration with animal
advocate Lee Asher to
shine a spotlight on the incredible shelter pets and their
journeys. A true champion for the cause, Lee Asher is a beacon within the dedicated
community of dog enthusiasts. His tireless efforts include
traveling the country to spread awareness about the joys of
adopting shelter pets, and operating an animal sanctuary where he
provides a safe haven for at-risk animals, further demonstrating
his unwavering commitment to animal welfare.
"I'm so excited to continue my partnership with Wahl and lend my
voice to emphasize the significance of grooming when it comes to
getting a dog adopted," Asher expressed. "Grooming isn't just about
appearance; it's about nurturing a dog's well-being and
personality. With a little grooming and TLC, these shelter dogs can
radiate health, happiness, and their unique charm, making them
irresistible to their potential forever families."
About the Dirty Dogs Contest
For the last 13 years, Wahl's donation of pet grooming
supplies has helped transform hundreds of thousands of dogs

initial appearance upon arrival at the shelter or rescue to their
stunning transformation post-grooming. Additionally, they have the
opportunity to delve into the backgrounds of these remarkable
canines and share their favorite stories across social media

Most importantly, they can vote for one of the Top 10 Dirty
Dogs, and the shelter or rescue affiliated with the winning dogs
will receive monetary grants to further support their efforts.
First place takes home $10,000,
