A sweet video of shelter dogs shows the adorable pups lounging on chairs in their cages.
The no-kill shelter, Knox County Humane Society in Galesburg, Illinois, came up with the idea to make their rescued canines feel more at home.
In the video, three of the pups are seen curled up in their recliners. On Monday the shelter put out a call for more chairs.

'The shelter pets absolutely love their chairs!' the humane society wrote on Facebook
'The shelter pets absolutely love their chairs! If anyone has any older chairs they no longer want, please think of the shelter pets!' the humane society wrote on Facebook.
And that call was answered when about a dozen chairs were donated to the shelter by local residents on Wednesday.
'We have had so many chairs donated this morning! Thank you everyone for sharing and donating! The shelter pets send many licks and purrs of thanks!' the shelter wrote.
And not only did the dogs have comfy chairs to sleep on, but their feline friends received a few chairs as well.
Employees at the shelter showed off their free roaming cat room with some of their cats sitting on their chairs.

Good idea but unfortunately many shelters are not allowed to have these types of furniture in them because they have to be able to sanitize the whole kennel. I guess maybe some of those couches covered in plastic like grandma’s or Sheila’s furniture from Shameless (US)?

I wonder if a shelter would let you put in a chair or something else with your scent when you found a dog you wanted to adopt but could not take right away. Let the dog get familiar to the new owners smell before the big day.

This seems like a great way to help acclimate them to a home environment as well as making them comfy.
