YouTube offers more than hilarious excerpts of obscure Japanese game shows and poorly warbled covers of Top 40 songs. The site now has enlisted its millions of users to submit inspiring videos to promote change on a local and global level.
During the month of October, the YouTube Video Volunteers channel raiseed awareness of animal-welfare issues with inspiring and heart-wrenching videos about the importance of animal shelters, adoption and spaying/neutering pets. Celebrity guest curator Ben Stein joined regular viewers to choose the top three, which are being on YouTube's home page at the end of the month. (But you can watch them all here.)
The top-rated "Apology Video," posted above, was created by the Retriever Rescue of Colorado (RROC), and highlights the variety of excuses owners give for neglecting or abandoning their pets. And if you want a quick way to help, the RROC accepts donated items through their Web site.

people need to relize what they are doing before putting an animal as a family it breaks my heart to see that video of people dumping their dogs just for an excuse if i had a big home and money i would take homeless animals in a heart beat.
Awww this is soo sweet. I am going to volunteer at the animal shelter. This settles it! I WILL find time! Both my dog and cat are adopted. There is rarely an excuse good enough not to keep your dog. Most shelters end up being forced to put the dog down. You should at least try to rehome the dog.
