Dog Tales Rescue and Sanctuary, an animal rescue in King City, Ontario, Canada, is actually home to about 70 rescue horses. When a pretty brutal Canadian winter started enveloping the region, the shelter became quite worried about its galloping darlings, who were exposed to the cold for the most part.
Thus, the shelter posted a simple plea for help on their official Facebook page, asking people who have extra horse blankets to drop by and give the shelter the blankets that are not being used anymore. It was a simple request; very brief and concise.
What happened next, however, proved to the shelter just how much the community supported its efforts, reported The Dodo.
Soon after its request was issued, blankets for its rescue horses started coming in, followed by more, and then some more. Pretty soon, all 70 of the shelter's rescue horses got warm blankets for their own.
The volume of donations was so massive that the shelter even ended up with a surplus of blankets, for the next batch of horses that it would rescue in the near future.
Such a reaction and support from the community has no less than stunned the shelter.
"Running a rescue can be exhausting at times, and it can be easy to feel alone, but your overwhelming support and encouragement stands as a testament to the fact that we can achieve more when we work together," the shelter stated on their official Facebook page.
Dog Tales is one of Canada's premier animal rescue shelters, spanning about 50 acres of land and being home to numerous abused, neglected, and unwanted animals.
