BEFORE & AFTER: TINY NEVER KNEW A LAP COULD FEEL SO GOOD
These before & after photos were taken in Thailand where after three years of neglect, a very sweet little dog named Tiny is beginning a wonderful new life.
"I was feeding her this last month on the road, because she was so timid, I couldn't get close to her until a few days ago," said Marianne Willemse at Love Animal House who has rescued countless animals from extreme cruelty and hardship. "She was so fearful because no one had paid...

EMERGENCY: Protection for Dog Victims in Bosnia Herzegovina
Thugs in Sarajevo with purebred fighting dogs have set their dogs out to attack abandoned strays. At least four of the strays died yesterday from injuries caused by the attacks, others are missing or wounded. We are hoping to help the survivors.
“Already two months constantly we have been calling the police, but the patrol came only today when the streams of blood flowed down the street," one rescuer explains. "This is the worst da...

I'M NOT THE EASTER BUNNY
I may not be a legendary bunny, but I do know what it is to be treated like royalty. Though I can't deliver chocolates or colored eggs, I was welcomed into a home. Every morning, I enjoy a huge salad and throughout the day I hop about and get lots of attention from my family. My cat and dog friends let me sleep beside them in their beds. And my 'mom' lets me taste the pumpkin pie filling!
This is my fenced, outdoor play area where I enjoy supervised time each day, and...

Last try for Beautiful RUSTY: FIV+ Cat Needs Home in New York
Is an Easter miracle in the mix? We certainly hope so. Rusty was found in Brooklyn about a year ago. He was hungry and roaming. He is very friendly. A woman did feed him but could not take him in. She is NOW MOVING and he had to be removed from the property. A rescue group offered to take him if he tested negative, but sadly he tested positive for FIV. Cats with FIV may have a compromised immune system, but many do not and live to be...

LOVE THE UNDERDOG
18th Apr 2014, by The Great Animal Rescue Chase
Today we thought we'd share just a little glimpse of some of the dogs at this small, home-based shelter in Serbia run by Goran Samardzic. Harmony Fund sends funds each month to help provide essentials for the dogs here. We thought you'd enjoy seeing some of the lovely faces that wake up here each morning. As you can see, they arrive with a variety of veterinary needs, but this is a place of healing.
Blessings this weekend and always to each of you who share in our international mission to 'Lo...

Poor Cornelia had been at the shelter for nearly two years, cowering in a tiny kennel and too afraid to engage with potential adopters. When Ambra came to learn about Cornelia, she tried to build a bridge. She began offering Cornelia biscuits and speaking to her softly. At first Cornelia wouldn't eve...

OLD STRAY DOG WINS 'THE LOTTERY'
Written by Nady Tzortzidou of Athens, Greece
A couple of years ago, some colleagues informed me of a little stray griffon-like dog, wandering outside the company where I worked. She seemed very sick and didn’t respond to anything.
She must have been in the streets for so long as her fur was hanging from her skin in balls. She was extremely dirty and smelly, yet had the sweetest and most gentle eyes I have ever seen. The only move she made was to wag her tai...

It took 16 rescuers and a three-day operation to bring Goldie to safety.The RSPCA team first aimed to rescue her by helicopter and use a winch to lift her, but were unable to secure the equipment on time. They also considered a boat rescue but wind and waves were simply too strong. So they lowered water and hay down to Goldie while they cooked up another pla...

TRUE LOVE
One day at an Indiana animal shelter, Jessica Petalas was working when she was introduced to a mini poodle puppy named Rusty who had just been dropped off for allegedly going to the bathroom indoors.
"He shook uncontrollably and his red curly hair was kinked and matted under his belly," Jessica said. "For a dog that was just given up for not being potty trained, he was severely skittish and flinched when large objects would move quickly in his direction. I felt horrible. I watched t...

BIRDFEEDER KEEPS LITTLE DOG ALIVE ALL WINTER
Reported by Ed Kostro of Illinois
Several weeks ago, a small black dog was spotted running along some railroad tracks in the bitter cold and snow and no one knew if he had traveled a great distance on those railroad tracks, as many lost and abandoned dogs do, or if he lived in the area.
Everyone who spotted him over the past several weeks soon realized that this poor little street orphan was extremely skittish and afraid. Every time that anyone got ...

CLEVER WOMAN USES CAT CARRIER TO SAVE SEAGULL WITH FISH HOOK INJURIES
Written by Yvonne Amery of Auckland, New Zealand
"On the way to the city one morning, I noticed a gull sitting at the edge of the road. I thought it was strange that he did not fly away with the noise of the car.
Coming home an hour later, the bird was still sitting in the same place. I realised something was wrong with him. This bird has a very strong beak but I only worried about that for a moment! I was terrified a car wo...
