When a woman named Gina received a call from Coastal German Shepherd Rescue about a “Swimmer Pup” who was going to be euthanized, she rushed to the shelter. 

“They asked me to hurry, pick him up, and begin treatment right away,” Gina told Rumble. Upon seeing the adorable dog, Gina’s heart ached, and she took him into him in her arms and got him out of there. 

Once they were home, she began calling the adorable little pup “Baby” and explained that he was so quiet and also had the most amazing blue eyes she’d ever seen. She gave “Baby” some food and gave him a warm spot to rest his head. 

Once Gina brought Baby to the vet’s office the following morning, she discovered he had Swimmers Syndrome, which is a developmental deformity in young dogs and cats, where their limbs are splayed laterally resulting in an ability to stand or walk.

 It was evident why the shelter wanted to euthanize him (although that should never be an option), but he was in good hands now with Gina.

The doctor told Gina she could try her treatments with Baby, although his future was not looking too bright. ” He said that maybe in 3 months he may walk, but chances are he won’t . . . if he survives,” she wrote. 

Gina went home and did a series of Acuscope Treatments on Baby to promote nerve conductivity where the nerve signals emerge from between the Vertebrae along the Spine. She also attached plates to treat the back from top to bottom. 

Baby started improving more every day and Gina soon wrote, “It really is amazing to witness how fast a little body responds once the nerve and muscle cells are given the help they need to awaken.” 

Over the course of his treatment, Gina decided to change his name to Casper, due to his pure white fur and following this video he was adopted by a young woman who is taking excellent care of him. 

“I am also invited to visit him when I am in town. It doesn’t get much better than this. Changing a pup’s life forever. Finding him his “forever home” and watching him grow and thrive and become a happy, healthy, loving companion,” said Gina.

Siberian Husky Puppy Is Rescued Moments Before Being Euthanized is an article from: LifeDaily

Rescue organization Hope for Paws received a call about a small dog who had given birth to puppies on a college campus. 

Founder of Hope for Paws Eldad Hagar and volunteer Lisa Chiarelli approached the area where they found the dog named Dottie, but as soon as they approached, she ran away. 

Hagar and Chiarelli decided it was best if they gave the dog some time to return back to her puppies. 

When volunteers tried to enclose the area, Dottie somehow managed to get away again, so they brought her puppies over to try and calm her down. 

The pups, who they named Ivy, Timon, and Pumbaa were doing what puppies do best- sleeping. 

Hagar and Chiarelli gave the dogs cheeseburgers to gain their trust and it was then they noticed one of the pups- Ivy, didn’t look too good. 

Wasting no time, they rushed to the hospital, and it was determined that Ivy had severe hydrocephalus.

Hydrocephalus is fluid in the brain, and due to the extreme pain Ivy was suffering, she had to be put down.

Completely heartbroken, Dottie snuggled with her baby one last time. Later on, they took Dottie, Timon, and Pumbaa to their foster home. 

Eight weeks later, Dottie and her puppies were doing great, and they had grown so much, they were practically the same size as their mother.

Homeless Mom Gives Birth To Three Puppies On A College Campus is an article from: LifeDaily

For years, they probably thought no one would hear their cries but today, nearly 60 animals in Germany have finally escaped a living hell on earth.

When animal rescuers in Vlotho, Germany approached a hoarder’s home with animals known to be abused inside, they probably never expected the terrifying scenario taking place inside.

“It was very sad to see what [state] the animals were in. …Especially Stanley, a little, young Yorkshire (I hope I got the breed properly, otherwise correct me) had touched me very much. Stanley was standing up in his…urine…[and] The excrement had already eaten into the skin, so he had to have [been in] pain.”

In an appeal on Facebook, rescuers also asked for donations for the extremely high medical bills the animals incurred, as well as shampoo, food, and services for the mistreated animals.

German Animal Rescue Save 56 Pets From Extremely Abusive Home is an article from: LifeDaily

Raising a puppy is a lot of fun, but many people don’t realize it’s also a huge responsibility since they need constant supervision and care like any other baby.

Forty-six-year-old dog owner Irene Paisley recently learned this the hard way after her 12-week-old Staffordshire bull terrier named Macie mysteriously started getting sick and bleeding from her nose. “Macie was making a squeaking sound – I thought she’d swallowed part of a toy. Then she was sick, but there was no sign of a toy, and she started choking,” Paisley said.

“I was terrified. Poor Macie was still choking and, by the time we arrived at the vet, there was blood coming out of her nose. The loss of our previous dog was still very raw and the thought of losing Macie was devastating,” said Paisley, who had brought Macie to an emergency pet hospital.

The vet scanned Macie’s stomach with an X-ray and discovered she hadn’t swallowed a chew toy, but an entire 8-inch kitchen knife. “I couldn’t believe it when they said Macie had swallowed a knife. I have no idea where she got hold of it – she could have pinched it out of the dishwasher, but no-one saw what happened. None of us could sleep that night as we knew Macie might not survive.”

By that point, the knife handle had passed through the stomach and into the puppy’s intestines, and the sharp tip was still in her throat. Veterinarian Emily Ronald rushed Macie into surgery and thankfully managed to remove the knife before any more harm could be done. “I’ve never seen an X-ray like Macie’s. She was extremely lucky to survive, ” Ronald said about Macie, who is recovering and healing well.

Puppy Survives After Swallowing 8-Inch Kitchen Knife Whole is an article from: LifeDaily

After a house in Kazakhstan collapsed with a family inside, neighbors came rushing out to see what had happened and found the two-story family home leveled to the ground.

Knowing that a young couple and their one-year-old baby had been inside, neighbor Ruslan Bakhramov, who is also a member of the national guard, and other people in the area rushed over to the debris and started to dig through the rubble left from the home.

According to police, the home most likely collapsed from after a gas pipeline that ran underneath the home exploded. Unfortunately, when they finally found 28-year-old mom Sabina Ornybaeva, she was already dead. Knowing there was a baby still somewhere inside, the men kept digging for her.

Two hours later, they finally discovered one-year-old Aruzhan laying safely in her crib. According to the men, a wooden stick was lying across the crib, and when a large block of the ceiling fell down, it created a roof and protected her from being crushed by the rest of the debris. And when they started pulling baby Aruzhan out, she started to cry and they figured she must have been injured. Yet when they examined her, they realized she was dirty but otherwise perfectly healthy.

Watch the entire video below to see the incredible moment these rescuers pull this miracle baby out alive.

Baby Pulled From Rubble Alive After Home Collapses is an article from: LifeDaily

After years of abuse, torture, and neglect, 23 lucky elephants have finally found a home at the Elephant Conservation and Care Centre in Mathura, India.

Most of the elephant at the rescue center spent decades of their lives being forced to perform in circuses, and as street beggars, and as a result of the years of neglect and improper care, many have been left blinded and struggle with chronic infections and arthritis.

Thankfully, Kartick Satyanarayan, founder of the rescue center, and his team have given these animals the home they deserve. “We work hard to give these elephants a life of dignity and protection while we also provide them ongoing treatment and care. It costs us about £800 per elephant per month to provide them necessary medical treatment, a nutritious diet, and ongoing care,” Kartick explained.

With proper diets, medical treatment, and elephant companionship, many of these sickly animals have completely transformed. And as if the center isn’t doing enough for these incredible animals, they decided to knit them cozy sweaters to help them stay warm in the cold weather. “This winter we are making jumpers to give the jumbos in our care some warmth,” Kartick said.

“They really took to their jumpers! I know in some countries it is a bit of a joke to wear the most outlandish one you can, particularly around Christmas time. But the elephants care less about fashion and more about being warm.”

Watch the entire video below to see the amazing women who are knitting these incredible animals sweaters to stay warm this winter.

Locals Knit Giant Sweaters So Rescue Elephants Can Stay Warm is an article from: LifeDaily

Usually, when we think about dwindling elephant population numbers, we think of the cruel hunters who kill elephants for their ivory tusks. However, the ivory trade isn’t the only threat to wild elephants.

For Sumatran elephants, who are native to Southeast Asia, a major threat comes in the form of cruel palm oil plantation farmers and owners who are rapidly destroying their habitat to make space for larger plantations that provide palm oil for almost half of all consumer foods, personal care products, and household cleaners.

And as if that wasn’t enough, the cruel workers consider the forest’s native animals like elephants to be pests and will kill or harm any animal that gets too close to the crops. Recently, a starving baby elephant, who possibly lost her mom to the palm oil industry, was discovered wandering alone by a rescuer from BKSDA.

After a quick examination, the rescuers realized the baby also had a bullet wound in her side, and while they don’t know for sure who is responsible, it’s possible she wandered too close to a plantation and was shot by a worker.

Thankfully, the baby elephant is now in good hands and has been moved to a government elephant center to get the treatment she desperately needs to recover and hopefully will eventually be released back into the wild once fully recovered

Rescuer Saves Starving Baby Elephant With Bullet Wounds is an article from: LifeDaily

Most parents with small children are petrified to foster a rescue dog since they’re afraid the dog could turn on their kids and attack them.

U.K. mom Emily Gunnion regularly volunteers for Labradors in Need, and normally just helps find forever homes for the rescue labradors. Recently, however, she saw a rescue dog named Rufus at the rescue and decided to foster him until he was adopted even though she has a 21-month-old daughter at home.

Yet Gunnion’s decision to open her home to Rufus is the only reason her toddler named Betsy is still alive today. Just a few days after Rufus came to live with Gunnion and her family, Betsy caught a stomach bug and was up all night getting sick. When it looked like she was finally done throwing up and was falling asleep, Gunnion also went to bed, but shortly after Rufus frantically woke her up.

“Rufus alerted me. He got half on the bed and was scratching at me and barking. I knew something was wrong,” Gunnion said about Rufus, who realized Betsy was choking on her vomit and couldn’t breathe. “Betsy was lying on her back being sick and choking, making horrible noises. I was so panicked but picked her up and she was sick properly and was okay.”

“Rufus saved Betsy, he was amazing. I was so tired after being up with her and didn’t know what was going on. Rufus is so clever, he sensed something was wrong. I dread to think what would have happened if he hadn’t been there,” Gunnion said.

Foster Dog Saves Baby’s Life After She Choked On Her Vomit is an article from: LifeDaily

A kind British couple, who both spend time rescuing animals in need, faced their own emergency last month. 

UK residents, Jason Finch and Nicky Thorne, are RSPCA inspectors, whose responsibilities include investigating complaints about animal cruelty, and rescuing animals and proving them with medical treatment. 

On December 12, Nicky, who was 9 months pregnant, went into labor, and the couple rushed West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St. Edmunds. 

Thinking they had plenty of time, Nicky’s contractions were happening faster than she could control, and it became clear she was going to give birth before they even arrived at the hospital. 

Jason rushed to help Nicky, who kneeled on the passenger seat and within minutes, popped out baby Peggy. “She was born so quickly, I hardly had to push,” Nicky told eadt.co.uk. 

“Jason caught her, and she wriggled about and cried instantly, which was such a relief to hear. Giving birth without any medical professionals nearby was a really scary thought, but I had no choice,” the proud mom continued. 

While waiting for the ambulance, the couple called their midwife for advice and with only a couple of towels on hand, they kept Peggy warm in Nicky’s t-shirt. 

Jason recalled, “When I look back, having that time together in the car while we waited for the ambulance was so incredibly special. It was a really bright, sunny morning, and we just watched Peggy together, took a few photos, and it was so peaceful.”

“I was in complete awe of Nicky and how she took it all in her stride, she was amazing,” Jason continued. Once they reached the hospital, Nicky and Peggy were checked over before Jason cut the umbilical cord, and Peggy weighed in at 7lbs, 9oz.

Jason said, “As an RSPCA inspector, it takes a lot to shock me, both Nicky and I are on the special water rescue team, so we’re used to working in extreme circumstances. I’m sure that our extensive training helped us in coping and approaching the situation as calmly as possible.” 

The happy father added that while he’s spent a lot of time delivering lambs during the lambing season, delivering his daughter “was a slightly different experience, though.” 

We’d like to thank these RSPCA inspectors for the great work that they do helping animals in need!

RSPCA Inspector Parents Deliver Their Own Baby In The Backseat Of Car is an article from: LifeDaily

It’s rare for a frog to survive an encounter with a lawn mower, but you haven’t met this resilient green tree frog…

After a woman from Mount Isa, Queensland, realized she had run over the frog, she immediately called her niece. 

Knowing that green tree frogs are becoming increasingly rare in their native Australia, she connected with Rex Airways, who agreed to fly the frog 500 miles away. A group called Dogtainers helped coordinate and custom package the green tree frog, and a courier met the animal in Cairns. 

Finally, staff from an animal hospital called Frog Safe picked up the frog.  Frog Safe resident Deborah Pergolotti told The Dodo, “We knew that he had an underlying condition because he was out on the lawn during the day, but the wound itself was also infected and the tissues above where the blade had skimmed over the shoulder bone were necrotic.” 

Hospital staff gave the frog medicine to clear up the infections, and after a couple of days, the frog revealed an underlying condition- two internal parasites. Both were eventually removed, and today the green tree frog is doing great!

“The wound has completely healed up and there is a bit of a scar there. His weight has picked up… one extremely lucky frog indeed,” Pergolotti says. 

But, the big question is why did this woman decide to save the tiny frog?

Pergolotti says, “Compassion and empathy for all is what the future of this planet is dependent upon,” she says. “If people can nonchalantly turn away from someone who needs help — including small animals — then we as a species may not deserve to be helped ourselves.”

She believes the decline in many of Australia’s frog species is due to the excessive use of chemicals, although no “official” research is being done to prove this connection.

Woman Runs Over Frog With Lawnmower, Then Flies Him Hundreds Of Miles For Surgery is an article from: LifeDaily

Charlie the beagle is one extraordinary dog who I’m sure any new parent would love to have around to lend a helping hand… 

From a young age, Charlie the beagle’s owners have trained him to help take care of their daughter, Laura Olivia. Daniel and Julia have even trained Charlie to rock Laura Olivia to sleep and even bring her toys when she starts crying. 

But nothing is an incredible as when they trained him to not only assist in the changing of Laura Olivia’s dirty diapers but also to dispose of them.

They document all of Charlie’s skills on his YouTube channel- Charlie the Beagle and Laura Olivia, and their diaper video has upwards of 4 million views!

While you may think that Charlie gets off easy because he doesn’t  have to actually change the diaper, he still needs to carry the diaper in his mouth. Do you know of any humans who would carry a diaper in their mouth? I don’t think so.

“Beagles have an incredible sense of smell and for him to dispose of that diaper, he really took one for the team,” Tamron Hall said on the TODAY Show.

While we’re not sure how sanitary this is, it’s pretty awesome to watch.

Well-Trained Dog Helps Dispose Of Baby’s Dirty Diaper is an article from: LifeDaily

If there is one thing people of all ages and from all walks of life can enjoy, a nice, warm bubble bath definitely makes the cut.

Who doesn’t love to cool down or relax in some steam after a long week? Pets, that’s who! Many pet parents out there would agree that if their dog or cat enjoyed bath time like they do, life would be a whole lot easier.

However, as you’ll see in the following adorable video from Rumble, baby animals just might be the exception to the rule. Just like when a maternity nurse gave this sweet tiny infant his first bath, the clip below shows a newborn puppy who is truly enjoying his first experience in the tub!

“A 2 1/2 week old Bernese Mountain Dog experiences warm water for the first time and absolutely loves it,” the teeny dog’s owner wrote on Rumble.

According to Terrific Pets, “Bernese mountain dogs do not always like the water. Similar breeds such as the Newfoundland are well known for their love of water and that is why so many people think that the Bernese dog is too. However, whilst they can swim and they can certainly pull you out of the water; it is not in their nature to swim.”

It looks like this is one pup who could break that idea for all Bernese mountain dogs… and we truly hope so, because this little dog will be a ton of fun to splash around with in the pool some day!

This Tiny Puppy’s First Bath Is A Cuteness Overload is an article from: LifeDaily

They say a mother’s love knows no bounds, and that couldn’t be more evident than when a woman’s child is in danger.

Melanie Porter of Florence, South Carolina says she didn’t hesitate to spring into action when she noticed a terrifying intruder in her normally quiet neighborhood. The mom says that her four-year-old daughter and a friend’s tiny dog would have been goners if she hadn’t rushed to their rescue when a coyote, a rarely seen predator in their area, came out of the woods with an appetite for destruction.

When the sometimes ferocious animal started to move in toward her little girl, she jumped to her rescue, putting her own safety at risk to save her baby and the tiny dog with them.

“He was about to come and attack my child and the little chihuahua that we had tied up. And then, all of a sudden, when it went to go come after them, I took off chasing it and ran it into the woods,” Porter told WDPE.

Hero Mom Stops Wild Coyote From Attacking Her Toddler is an article from: LifeDaily

They say all you need in life is one true friend – and if you can count on one another like these two precious pooch pals than consider yourself very lucky!

Isaac is a blind Husky who was found wandering around the streets of Fontana, California without any tags or information. The poor dog was completely alone and most likely disturbed from trying to survive on the streets alone for so long.

Luckily, once Isaac met Isabella, a tiny chihuahua and terrier mix, he soon realized that he wouldn’t have to be alone for much longer. Sweet Isabella may be much different than her giant best friend, but that doesn’t matter. She now acts as her new pal’s seeing eye dog, guiding Isaac through every move he needs help with.

“They’re the dynamic duo. They’re a bonded pair. They’re inseparable,” Fred Kaplan of the foundation told CBS. “They want to stay close together all the time.”

Veterinarians believe poor Isaac to be suffering from glaucoma, but as long as he’s got his teeny sidekick, they believe the future looks bright for this heartwarming duo.

If you want to help this precious pair, you can send contributions to the STAND Foundation, P.O. Box 5921, Sherman Oaks, CA 91413, or use info@standfoundation.org for PayPal.

Blind Husky Was Almost Put Down, Until A Chihuahua Became His Seeing Eye Dog is an article from: LifeDaily

A mom from Great Britain is understandably furious at her daughter’s school after she came completely humiliated.

Twenty-seven-year-old mom Lianne Corbett says her 5-year-old daughter Apryl was delighted when she finally got her own wig after being bullied by classmates for 14 bald spots on her head.

The poor little girl has been suffering from alopecia areata, a condition known as spot baldness that often affects children and teenagers for the last year. However, when her sweet daughter finally got her wig and wore it to school, she was soon destroyed when a physical education teacher made her take it off, citing that it breached health and safety rules of the school.

“I told them I wasn’t happy and if she can’t have it on then I’d take her home as I don’t want to risk her being bullied,” said Lianne. “They were persistent that she could not wear it.”

You can help Apryl get a new wig by visiting her GoFundMe page and making a donation HERE.

School Makes 5-Year-Old Girl With Alopecia Remove Her Wig is an article from: LifeDaily

People who live in the Northern Canadian city of Iqaluit are used to freezing temperatures where it can feel like negative 60 degrees. 

These chilling temperatures do not mean that shelter dogs don’t need to be walked, and one man named Francois Ouellette understands this. 

“This time of year when a lot of volunteers are gone and a lot of the dogs don’t get as many walks, they just love going out there and stretching their legs,” Ouellette said in an interview with The Dodo.

Ouellette is a principal at a local school, but his real passion is taking care of shelter dogs. “Most of the dogs are a sled dog mix. We call them an ‘Iqaluit special’ — a husky mixed with something,” he says.

In order to walk the dogs, Ouellette needs to put protective gear on,  as the freezing temperatures make it dangerous for him to go outside for even a couple of minutes. “I have a face mask and goggles and, basically, there is no skin exposed,” Ouellette said. 

He also has special shoes with nail-like grips at the bottom to help him walk on ice.

These shelter dogs are commonly used for sleds, so one of their biggest instincts is to pull. “It is actually a bicep workout at the same time, holding onto that leash so the dog doesn’t take off running, so you really hold on,” said Ouellette.  “A lot of the dogs are skittish around humans, too.”

To top it off, Ouellette walks numerous dogs at a time. “Last time I went there were four running, but I’ve had as many as eight to 10,” he explains. “I run back and forth — if it is cold I don’t want to stop. So I come in and grab one and take another one out,” he tells The Dodo. 

The dogs reside at the Iqaluit Humane Society, which is a shelter so tiny, it can basically be compared to a space big enough to accommodate a couch, dining table and bed. 

“We are hanging on by a thread but do what we can,” its president, Janelle Kennedy says. 

The group gets by on donations, and the kindness of airlines like First Air, that offer free transportation of shelter dogs from Nunavut to the SPCA in Gatineau, Quebec, where the dogs have a higher chance of finding foster families and forever homes. 

The shelter is lucky to have  Ouellette, who braves some seriously cold temperatures to walk these dogs, and according to him, there’s nothing he’d rather be doing.

Man Braves The Arctic Cold Every Day To Make Sure Shelter Dogs Get Walked is an article from: LifeDaily

Dillon chose one of the worst nights ever to wander away from his home, and people are calling it a miracle that he survived. 

Last Thursday, Cindy Bess’s schnauzer mix went missing beyond her invisible fence during an ice storm in their home in Arnold, Missouri. According to FOX13 News, Bess immediately alerted neighbors and friends, and the community began frantically searching for the lost dog. 

“There was a whole night of texting; everybody texting,” Bess’s friend, Sue Ziegler, said. “Someone said they were praying to St. Anthony; that was really awesome.” They searched high and low for hours, but there was no sign of Dillon. 

The next morning- nearly 18 hours after the pup went missing, they searched again, and this time a neighbor thought they had found him. Neighbor Julie Drew yelled, “‘Oh my God, I think I see a dog!’” 

It turns out that it was Dillon! He was stuck in an animal trap, and Drew told FOX13 News, “That was painful to see. And to see that it was chained to a tree. He had no way out.”

Dillon was brought to a nearby hospital, and he only suffered a soft tissue injury from the ordeal. “I just felt like it was a miracle,” Ziegler said. “Because of the ice storm. And I knew one more night, that dog wouldn’t have survived out there.”

We think it’s safe to say Dillon’s family is very happy to see him, and they are eternally grateful to their neighbors for helping rescue their pup.

Dog Survives Being Stuck In Animal Trap For 18 Hours During Ice Storm is an article from: LifeDaily

It breaks our hearts when we see animals being abused. That’s why when dog trainer Randi Carter witnessed a teen mistreating his dog, she took action. 

The incident happened one Sunday morning when Carter was patrolling one of the neighborhoods that she sees many abuse cases come from in Wichita, Kansas. 

Carter saw a young man, around 15-year-old, who appeared to be a very rough with the dog he was walking. She began filming and watched in horror as the violence escalated. But Carter didn’t just film the teen and his dog, she approached him and told him that she just recorded what he had done. 

According to Life With Dogs, she then laid out a proposition for him: release the dog into her custody, or she would call the police. When the boy refused, Carter called the Wichita Police Department and posted the video on Facebook. 

But Carter didn’t just film the teen and his dog, she approached him and told him that she just recorded what he had done. 

According to Life With Dogs, she then laid out a proposition for him- release the dog into her custody, or she would call the police. When the boy refused, Carter called the Wichita Police Department and posted the video on Facebook. 

Carter, who owns All Dogs Bark-N-Play and is also a member of the rescue group, Beauties and Beasts, couldn’t rest until she got the dog out of his abused owner’s hands. So Carter followed the boy home, and as she approached his house, a woman (the boy’s mother) was pulling in the driveway, and Carter told her what her son had done. 

Shocked by her son’s behavior, she agreed to hand over the dog to Carter, who she learned was named Dragon. 

The mother even invited Carter into her home and allowed her to speak with her son. “Right now, you’re known for being a bad guy,” Carter told the boy. But, instead of reprimanding him, Carter offered to teach the teen how to properly train dogs. 

Reiterating the fact that she would only teach the boy if he wanted her to- not because she was making him, Carter agreed to spend Sundays teaching this young man the proper way to save dogs. 

“I’m really excited about this, and maybe someday he’ll save a dog,” she told Life With Dogs.  “Even if I never know about it, I don’t care.  Maybe someday he’ll be a tool and an asset for rescue.”

Dragon is now in the care of Beauties and Beasts, and he will not be going back to the family.

Hero Catches Boy Abusing His Dog On Camera And Decides To Teach Him A Lesson is an article from: LifeDaily

Living on the streets is hard enough, but add two dogs to the equation, and it’s nearly impossible. 

One homeless woman living on the streets of California is forced to endure the cold winter nights because she has nowhere to go with her two beloved dogs. 

The woman, whose name is Wendy, is on a waiting list to go to Flood Ministries, but the organization will not take her in until her two dogs, Kiara and Brutus, are spayed, neutered, vaccinated, provided with rabies shots and licensed. 

A non-profit organization called Basic Needs Foundation Inc. is doing everything they can to help Wendy, but time is of the essence. They wrote on Tuesday, “Homeless woman WENDY is in line at Flood Ministries. If her dogs do not get licensed she will get kicked out of line. She must get the dogs, spayed, neutered, vaccinated, rabies shots, licensed before she reaches the front of the line.”

Basic Needs highlighted that they will pay for the dogs to be spayed and neutered, but says, “we need $175 for their vaccination, rabies shots, head cones, pain med for the female dog KIARA, and boarding (female dog cannot walk around with the homeless owner for miles after spaying), licenses ($15/each).”

Following their surgeries, the dogs will need to be boarded for five days, and the discounted boarding fee is $10 per day according to Ha Adolfo, who works with the non-profit group. 

Being that Wendy is not willing to turn her back on her two dogs, who are like family to her, she is enduring the 35 degree nights with Kiara and Brutus. With the help of strangers and the Basic Needs Foundation, hopefully, this family will get what they need to escape the cold. To help, visit their website here. 

Can you believe what people will go through for their pets? We have to agree that animals are like family, and they deserve to be treated as such.

Homeless Woman Endures Cold Because She Has Nowhere To Go With Dogs is an article from: LifeDaily

Animal shelters often struggle to afford the expensive costs of running a safe haven and providing food, medicine, and treatment to all animals in their care.

Despite their struggle to raise funds, the Michigan Humane Society is prepared to give away thousands of dollars id it means they can find out who is responsible for severely abusing a sweet dog that was recently discovered wandering the streets and was rescued by the shelter.

On January 17th, the Michigan Humane Society received a call from a local concerned citizen from southwest Detroit who spotted the brown and tan Rottweiler mix wandering the freezing streets all alone. Not only was it left out to fend for itself in the freezing weather, but the poor dog’s nose and ears had been cut off, and there were deep cuts on his back legs and tail.

“It appears that someone purposely maimed this poor dog, which has caused it a great deal of suffering,” said Mark Ramos, a lead cruelty investigator for the Humane Society. “This kind of cruelty is unacceptable. We need to be a voice for these animals, and as a community, we need to speak through our strong actions to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

Despite being treated so horribly, the shelter is amazed at how gentle and sweet the animal is around people, and they’re making sure the sweet dog gets the very best treatment. While he recovers, the staff is making sure she knows he is loved and protected, and will never have to suffer at the hand of a cruel monster ever again. “If you know anything about this case, call the MHS hotline now at (313) 872-3401 and help us find the person responsible. This animal deserves justice,” Ramos said.
