Family Adopts Puppy With ‘Small Ear’ For Boy With Same Condition
For 8-year-old Maxson Hess, it was a typical Friday morning as his family got ready to go to breakfast. Then, as the family left their Las Vegas home, he was taken by surprise — a crowd of people was waiting outside, and with them was a familiar face! “I just walked out and I saw them, and then I saw Nemo, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh we got Nemo!’ It was such a surprise for me, such a surprise,” Maxson later told KTNV 13.

Dogs In The UK Must Wear Collar With ID Tag Or Owners Risk Fines And Jail Time
Dog owners who walk their pets without a collar and ID could face hefty fines in the UK, thanks to the wording of a specific 1992 law. The Control of Dogs Order 1992 has been around for nearly three decades, but enforcement has often been patchy and pet owners may not be aware of all the requirements that it put into place. But now, as the country faces rising rates of dognapping and other crimes, authorities are getting serious about making sure pets are easily identifiable.

Man On Road Trip Adopts Two Puppies He Found On The Side Of The Road
It was December 2016, and Jordan Kahana was on an adventure — he’d planned out a 12-day road trip and was excited to see all different parts of the US, from snowy peaks to the beach. The only problem? He was traveling alone, and by day two was already feeling those familiar road trip blues. Then, on his way to the Grand Canyon, he caught sight of something on the road that would change his life forever.

German Scientists Are Potty-Training Cows To Solve A ‘Climate Killer Conundrum’
Ask any parent — teaching a child when and how to use the bathroom can be a frustrating push and pull as the concept finally becomes clear, thanks to patient training and normal brain development. Now, imagine that same struggle, but with cows! A German team of scientists decided to tackle the issue in a bid to solve what is widely referred to as a “climate killer conundrum.” Photo: PXHERE Basically, while giving cows larger fields to graze in is much better for their health, it also increases the greenhouse gasses and...
Cat Became Friends With The Mouse He Was Supposed To Catch
The world is a complicated place, and even things that we may have thought were universal truths are up in the air. Case in point, a Chilean man’s cat became friends with the mouse he was supposed to catch, upending years of conventional wisdom (not to mention cartoon plots) in the process. Just look at them! PHOTO: INSTAGRAM /simonel.gato Benjamín Sagredo, who owns Simón, has had him for about 2 years. In that time, Simón showed a classic cat attitude and a “phobia” of dogs like Border Collies, so...
Growing the Family after Hurricane Harvey
Sep 24, 2021 When Hurricane Harvey devastated much of Texas and Louisiana in 2017, the APA! community leaped into action with the goal of evacuating and saving as many lives as possible. Thanks to the amazing support that we received from donors, fosters, volunteers, and the APA! community both near and far – you! – we were able to transport over 5,000 animals to safety, stand up three temporary shelters, gratefully accept truckloads of donations, and record nearly 30,000 volunteer hours. But the impact of Harvey didn’t end...
Year-round paw care for dogs
Taking care of your dog’s paws isn’t just an occasional task. Tending to his tootsies year round helps ensure he keeps all four feet on the ground. When it comes to healthcare for our dogs, we sometimes take their feet for granted and leave them out of the equation. But your canine’s paws should be an integral part of his care regimen, whatever the season. If your dog’s feet are sore or injured, his mobility and well-being can suffer, and that’s no fun for either of you. Here’s how to factor his feet into...
