Introduction
The bills were overdue. The volunteers were running out of options. But then the legendary singer, known for his powerful voice and surprisingly gentle presence offstage, asked to see the back of the shelter — where an 11-year-old Labrador mix named Buddy lay tired and abandoned.
Tom Jones knelt beside him, gently placed his hand on the dog’s head, and whispered. Then he stood up and asked,
“How many dogs are there?”
“Thirty-nine,” the answer came.
Tom’s voice was calm and firm:
“Then all 39 deserve a tomorrow.”
The very next day, trucks arrived with essential supplies: new beds, new flooring, medical supplies, food, and toys. Above each kennel, a simple sign now read:
“Always on support — with love from Tom Jones.”
And what about Buddy? Tom adopted him immediately.
“He’s waited long enough,” he said. “Now I have him.”
Tom didn’t just help one rescue center.
He gave 39 lives a second chance — with dignity, care, and hope. 🐾✨
