Animal shelters request armchairs for homeless dogs after video goes viral

Homeless pets being held at a no-kill shelter in Illinois will be sleeping comfortably tonight as donations of chairs continue to pour in for the furry friends.

The Knox County Humane Society in Galesburg, roughly 120 miles northwest of Springfield, posted a video to Facebook Monday featuring pups Mickey, Tango and Goober lounging in cozy armchairs.

“The shelter pets absolutely love their chairs!” the shelter wrote. “If anyone has any older chairs they no longer want, please think of the shelter pets!”

Since the video — now viewed more than 12 million times — started circulating, donations began to pour in for the shelter’s dogs, and even cats, from those who wanted to help.

The shelter’s director told Fox 18 KLJB it all started when they put one dog, Buster Brown, in a chair while guarding the front desk during the day.

"We have Buster Brown behind the desk and he kept sitting in our chairs with us and there wasn't room,” Director Erin Buckmaster said. “We really thought the chair was too big behind the desk but he's loved it.”
