I have two dogs that shed like crazy, one with long hair, and one with a medium but thick coat. Neither one likes the vacuum cleaner, but in a very short time have become tolerant of it. The attachment has a handle that you push down that exposes bristles that you use to brush. Then you let the handle go, the hair is pulled off the bristles and is sucked in through a hole in the center. While it doesn't always suck all the hair down, the hair does stay suctioned to the attachment and is easily swept into the hole. What is absolutely amazing is that the area where I "groom" my dogs has very little visible hair on the floor when I'm done (I have a white dog and I tested this by grooming on a black marble surface), meaning a good 99% or more of the hair you brush out is actually sucked into the vacuum, and you can run the attachment without depressing the handle to suck up any that does get loose. The attachment is expensive ~$75 (it is a Dyson afterall), but I think it is 100% worth it if you have a dog that is constantly shedding and you need some help with containment!

Is there anyway you can donate anything to this sweet baby? It has to have clean sheets/towels due to being bathed every day. Good food etc. Here's their facebook linkhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Save1Pet/265898947561 Thank you very much!
