Berkeley, Calif – With Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend, love is in the air, and the dogs at Berkeley Humane have been getting ready to find their true love! After an uncertain past, they are looking to the future, and all they needed now was a loving home. They wanted to make sure they could put their best paw forward in their search for love! But they needed a little help.

TWEET THIS: Love is in the air at @berkeleyhumane, and @healthyspot came to help with makeovers so the dogs would be ready to find love! Could that be you?

And help was on its way! Four lucky dogs received head-to-tail makeovers from the grooming team at Healthy Spot, a pet retailer with a location in Mission Bay and one opening up this spring in Rockridge. Dumbledore, Care Bear, Sally, and Maybelline all received baths specific to their needs, haircuts, and even accessories, all to make them picture-perfect to meet their special someone.

Dumbledore

Dumbledore, the elder Irish Wolfhound mix, had come to us with mats nearly a foot long. Thanks to the skillful clippers of the team, he is ready to step out and find love.

Care Bear

Care Bear, a carefree Welsh Corgi mix, got a bath and a bandanna to complete his look. Now all he needs is to find someone to snuggle with.

Sally

Sally, a mature miniature Poodle mix, went from ragamuffin to society lady. She wasn’t used to getting her toes groomed, but she started to like it by the end!

And Maybelline, a senior Yorkie mix, got all her flyaways taken care of. Maybe she was born with it, but she’s definitely Maybelline!

All these animals have updated profile pictures because everyone’s looking for love—come find these dogs and more at Berkeley Humane!
