Shelter Me

SHELTER ME is an entertaining and uplifting film series about shelter pets improving the lives of those who adopt them. Hosted by actress Katherine Heigl, SHELTER ME celebrates the human-animal bond with positive, uplifting stories about shelter pets and their new homes. Every year, 3-4 million dogs and cats are euthanized in America's shelters. SHELTER ME focuses on the success stories to bring more people into the shelters to give these incredible animals a second chance. The first film shows how shelter pets are helping our returning war veterans cope with PTSD. We go inside a women's prison, where inmates train shelter dogs to become service animals for people with disabilities. We also see the journey of two stray dogs, from the day they are picked up on the streets and brought to the shelter until the day they become a beloved family pet. SHELTER ME is about redemption, hope, helping others and making a difference. "Shelter Me is a must see documentary. It is moving, tear-jerking, and uplifting--all at the same time. This is a must see for all people who love dogs and love what humans and dogs can do for each other." --San Antonio Pets Examiner "I was moved to tears of joy as I watched the bond develop between the humans and their new found companions. I think you will also be incredibly moved by this most-welcomed documentary that spills over with hope for those beings, nonhuman and human, who need help in a demanding world." --Psychology Today "Shelter Me is single-minded in its goal: It wants people to consider adopting a dog from a shelter." --The New York Times Shelter Me featuring Katherine Heigl is streaming with subscription on Hoopla, available for rent or purchase on iTunes, available for rent or purchase on Apple TV, and 3 others. It's a documentary movie with a better than average IMDb audience rating of 7.5 (174 votes).
