A roughly 10-month old dog in Houston, Texas, made headlines this week after he was found with a shoelace around his neck, causing his head to swell to an enormous size. The dog, named Gus by his rescuers, was first spotted roaming a busy street last Wednesday, Anna Barbosa, president of Houston K-911 Rescue, which has now taken responsibility for Gus, told Fox News. Once captured, rescuers took Gus to an emergency veterinary clinic. Veterinarians removed a shoestring that had been wrapped around the pup’s neck and was deeply embedded into the tissue. Barbosa said the shoestring was likely placed on…

Joshua Kimball, an officer with Wareham DNR, tells WBSM News the Rottweiler was in rough shape when it was brought in. “The dog has definitely been suffering for a while,” said Kimball. “The left side of his face is…

The heart-wrenching sight of a skinny dog in the middle of the street broke my heart as I was heading home. Without a moment’s hesitation, I stopped my car and got out to take a closer look. The poor dog was extremely emaciated, with his bones visibly protruding, and it was clear that he had been starved for a long time. He tried to hide from my car, but his sad, bleeding eyes looked up at me with a glimmer of hope. I knew I couldn’t just leave him there, so I approached him slowly, trying to gain his trust.…

After a dog fell down a deep hole, she swam in circles for hours, anxiously hoping for help. She eventually grew so fatigued and weak that she couldn’t swim any more, and that’s when she was discovered. A local eventually discovered the unfortunate dog anxiously hanging to the well’s side and phoned Animal Aid Unlimited, hoping for assistance. The rescue team went out to find her, but when they arrived, it appeared like the poor dog had given up hope. She appeared disheartened, leaning against the well’s wall, until she heard a noise above and lifted her head. When she…

Taking care of a pet with a disability can be difficult. They need a little extra love, but some people aren’t willing or capable of doing that, so they abandon their pets. Thankfully, some people are willing to go the extra mile to help these animals, like one boy who used his creativity to save a dog. Gracie had a rough start in life. She was abandoned by her owners as a puppy, and found covered in maggots with fur missing under her eyes. And due to a birth defect, she was missing her front two legs. She was brought…

I was just passing by on a busy road when I saw her – a little puppy in a dire situation. She was on a dangerous bend, in bad shape, and suffering from severe scabies. It was heartbreaking to see her digging for rotten food, searching for something to eat. I approached her slowly, and the girl, who I later learned was named Lupita, looked at me with a mix of fear and hope in her eyes. Lupita was in desperate need of help. I took her to a veterinarian, and the diagnosis was devastating – she had a platelet…

In an incredible display of maternal instinct, a dog has taken on the role of a mother to a group of tiger cubs. The dog, a mixed breed named Cleo, has been caring for the cubs since they were abandoned by their mother shortly after birth. The story began when the cubs’ mother, a Bengal tiger, rejected her litter for unknown reasons. The cubs were left to fend for themselves, and it seemed that their chances of survival were slim. However, fate intervened in the form of Cleo, who took the cubs under her care. At first, it seemed like…

While some individuals love their pets like they are part of the family, others unfortunately enslave them to neglect and bad circumstances. Unfortunately, Libre experienced the latter. The four-year-old guard-dog of an abandoned home in Cagua, Venezuela, was kept tied up day and night without food or water. The thick chain around her neck made it impossible for her to breathe. It was so short that she couldn’t even lay down. Thankfully, her misery eventually came to an end when concerned neighbors noticed how her owner was abusing her, and quickly reported them to the police and local animal shelter.…

It is disheartening to know that there are people in the world who could ignore a helpless dog in distress and not offer any assistance. This small pup must have wandered alone for days or weeks in search of food and water. As he became weaker and sicker, he eventually crawled under a car where he was ready to give up and succumb to death. Despite the dog’s pitiful condition, many passers-by continued to ignore him, but thankfully, one person did the right thing and called for help. The rescue team rushed to the scene and found the puppy covered…

A dog in Swift Current, Sask., is safe at home after a firefighter rescued it from an icy creek on Tuesday. According to Fire Chief Denis Pilon, the dog was allowed to run off-leash, which led to the animal finding itself out on the ice. He said that the owners immediately called 911. “The dog had been running along the road that follows the creek and for some reason ran down onto the ice and went through,” Pilon said in a phone interview Monday. Video posted on Facebook shows one of the firefighters, tied to a strap, making his way…

She begs them to look at her heart since everyone is afraid of her and no one wants to adopt her… But truly, who can blame these adorable creatures for being born disabled? Do they deserve a life of respect and affection or are they less deserving as a result? It is terrible that people, like people, have such strong opinions about animals based just on how they appear. As in the case of a dog, whose physiognomy can arouse dislike without taking into account the lovely emotions that his twisted face hides. I wish there were no prejudices and…

“She is totally the most forgiving, lovable little girl ever. There’s not a mean bone in her body.” It was a thumping sound that caused the man to pause next to the dumpster. Thump, thump, thump. When the man stepped up to the dumpster and peered inside, he saw a large cardboard box covered in duct tape. Whatever was thumping seemed to be inside that box. The man lifted the box and ripped it open. Inside was a large 5-month-old puppy, who’d later be named Sally. The cardboard was smeared with blood, but the dog’s tail was wagging, rhythmically hitting the…

Often we see bait dogs after they have been rescued or already adoрted. These stories are amazing and some of my favorite to share. However, I think this video is esрecially imрortant because it actually shows how these dogs are found. Sharing this video can helр bring into light the horrifying lives these dogs live рrior to being rescued, and why it’s so imрortant that we fight to get stricter рenalties for dog fighting everywhere. Executive Director of the World Animal Awareness Society (WA2S) and American Strays series Producer & Director, Tom McPhee follows the Michigan Humane Society Officers as…

She knew he would not survive unless he was removed from the shelter immediately, which he was. During medical examinations, X-rays showed that Alex was so desрerate for food that he ate stones…
