The much loved tough guy Danny Trejo has teamed up with Friends of Animals to create a unique PSA to spread awareness of the #RuffLife of shelter animals.

According to the end of the video, over 3 million dogs and cats will die in a shelter this year.

Trejo plays a lovable dog that is rotting away in a shelter. He shares his struggle of growing up with not so loving parents and a girl who runs around in the streets. We watch him be captured by animal control and start his new life in a little cell.

The goal of this PSA is to inspire viewers to get their dogs and cats spayed or neutered to help control the population. You don't want to see more adorable cats and dogs like Danny Trejo to be put down, so try to make a difference and not add to the grown of animal shelters.
