An animal rescue centre is pleading for help one final time to save 2,000 dogs at imminent risk of death.
Launching their urgent appeal online, Animal SOS Sri Lanka has created a music video to Who Let The Dogs Out, featuring the inspiring staff and volunteers at their centre.
The YouTube video combines heartwarming clips of the team singing and dancing with dogs on the beach, in the veterinary surgery and sat in rescue trucks.
The plea comes two months after the centre appealed for desperate help as they were almost forced to shut their doors - now founder Kim Cooling is fighting to keep the sanctuary open again.

Kim told The Mirror : "When you see the horrific state these animals arrive in, then watch them recover, blossom and become happy, the thought of losing them and their only home away from hell is too much to contemplate for any of us.
"We hope this fundraising musical will help us to continue this vital lifeline for thousands of animals on the brink of death.
"It was great fun putting together. The staff embraced the dancing and singing brilliantly, and even our resident vets participated because our sanctuary animals mean the absolute world to them."
In the video, dozens of members of staff perform their well-rehearsed dance routine and chant 'Who Let The Dogs Out' around the sanctuary.
Happy rescue dogs can be seen swimming in the sea, running in wheelchairs on the grass and cuddling up with volunteers.
In the second half of the footage, a voice over from Kim says: "This is a special appeal as we face a very serious situation due to a lack of funds.
"Animal SOS Sri Lanka is home to over 2,000 abused, neglected and disabled street animals. We run the largest sanctuary in the region.
"But this life-saving project is now at risk. For over 14 years, we have been an essential lifeline to so many otherwise doomed animals by providing veterinary care, rehabilitation and a safe haven."
Kim finishes the video by saying: "We simply can't let them die. Their lives depend on us and we depend on you to save their home.
"We are already refusing new critical cases now. It really is life or death. Please, please help by donating now because only your help will keep these precious souls alive and safe.
"Remember, the greatest gift of all is the gift of life."
Kim founded Animal SOS Sri Lanka over a decade ago, after visiting the island and seeing the appalling state of animals on the streets.
She has since been awarded the prestigious IFAW Animal Action Award in recognition of her outstanding contribution to animal welfare, and the Prime Minister's Points of Light award for her voluntary work in the UK.
If you would like to help save this animal rescue charity from closure, you can donate via bank transfer or PayPal.
