Man Gives Shelter Dogs Free Makeovers to Boost Chances for Adoption

A New York City man is traveling to nearby animal shelters to primp pups that are need of forever homes -- for free!
Mark Imhof, 45, who started his grooming business in October, estimates he's given on-the-house haircuts to about 50 dogs -- many of whom have found adoptive families.
"These are dogs," Imhof told ABC News today. "They want to love someone and I think when they have a crusty shell on them and things like that, it makes them unable to do so. When I can clean them up, you can see (their) eyes and it makes them easier to connect. It's trying to bring these dogs to comfort, so they can become more adoptable and that's the goal."
