In a heartwarming moment that fans won’t soon forget, Lizzo took her concert in Washington D.C. to the next level by bringing adorable rescue puppies on stage. The singer-songwriter, known for her hit “Truth Hurts,” delighted both her audience and dog lovers alike by showcasing a group of pups from Wolf Trap Animal Rescue. This organization, based in Merrifield, VA, had initially brought the puppies backstage so Lizzo and her team could enjoy some puppy cuddles. However, Lizzo had a better idea—she invited them out on stage and urged the audience to consider adopting one of the sweet dogs.
Wolf Trap Animal Rescue shared the joyful news on their Facebook page, expressing their gratitude, “From rags to riches! Our rescue team and these puppies were lucky enough to meet Lizzo and provide her and her team puppy therapy last night at The Anthem!” The organization’s mission focuses on saving young animals from being euthanized in Mississippi due to overpopulation, and Lizzo’s spotlight helped amplify their cause.
Fans were understandably enamored with the sight of Lizzo and the puppies together. “When I heard some of them don’t have homes yet, I felt so compelled to bring them on stage and show them off because they deserve to have a home,” Lizzo explained. And she did just that, ensuring all the puppies found loving families.
Wolf Trap noted, “If you’re interested in supporting our continuing rescue efforts, the mom of these puppies is heartworm positive and requires costly treatments.” They also emphasized the ongoing need for responsible pet adoption, as approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. shelters each year, with about 1.5 million of those animals euthanized. Lizzo’s efforts, even if just for one night, shone a light on this pressing issue.
She shared pictures and videos on her social media, showcasing the adorable moments backstage with the pups, captioned with, “Got to cuddle some puppies today.” This simple act may inspire many to adopt. If you’re unable to adopt but still want to help, consider volunteering or donating to organizations like Wolf Trap.
