Dog Covered In Scabs From Head To Toe Gets Second Chance At Life
It is National Feed a Rescue Pet Week and The Animal Rescue Site’s 19th Birthday! We are hoping to celebrate by providing 3 million meals to shelter pets this week, but we need your help. Every year, 6.5 million dogs and cats enter U.S. animal shelters – which is a lot of mouths to feed. Pet food is one of the biggest expenses for shelters.

Couple Sees A Stray Dog On Their Security Camera And Make It A Mission To Save Him
Home security cameras are becoming more prevalent in homes across the US, and it turns out that they’re serving a dual purpose. In addition to capturing footage of potential thieves and strangers, security cameras can also be used to help rescue stray animals. When a couple, Sydney and Matt, got an alert from their security camera at 2:00 AM, they immediately went to see what was going on. While they didn’t find a person intruding on their property, they did discover a dog had come up to their garage and was sniffing around for...
Owner Teaches Golden Retriever And Dalmatian How To Swim
Dogs have different personalities, much like humans. While some dogs prefer to play catch and run for miles, others would rather sit on their owner’s lap and be pet all day. Just like parents who have multiple children, dog owners who have multiple breeds know just how unique their pets can be. Sometimes, their differences mean that different approaches to life and activities are necessary to make both animals happy. Take a Dalmatian and a golden retriever, for example. Photo: Pixabay They share many similarities, like both being...
Two Dogs Rescue Young Girl Struggling In The Waves
Dogs are incredible, and they’re capable of so much more than we give them credit for sometimes. That’s true for two dogs in Italy, Luna and Igor, who went above and beyond to save the life of a 15-year-old girl. The girl, Ilenia, was at the beach with her friends in Palinuro, Cilento, when a strong current caught her off guard and dragged her out to sea. Being stuck in an ocean current can be perilous, even for the best of swimmers. Photo: Facebook/SICS Scuola Italiana Cani Salvataggio-Tirreno Thankfully, two lifeguard Labradors...

While enjoying a vacation in Ocean City, MD, one family experienced any pet parents’ worst nightmare: Their beloved dog went missing.

Aerial Time-Lapse Shows The Formations Of Over 1,000 Sheep
Shepherds have quite an impressive ability to herd large groups of sheep. Sometimes the whole herd must be moved, and if you’ve ever been around when it’s happening you know how intensive it can be. Some herds have hundreds or even thousands of sheep, and getting them to move in a seamless, choreographed manner can be challenging. While it looks impressive from the ground, watching a large herd of sheep move from above is even more stunning. Photo: Piqsels Drone photographer Lior Patel captured the formations of a herd of...
Disabled Stray Dog Dug A Nest To Hide From Humans
When this stray dog was first found on the outskirts of a city, he was in the midst of a period of major upheaval. That’s why he had such a neat relationship with this nest. As it turns out, he had created the nest on his own, as a means of hiding out from any pesky humans that tried to bother him. We can totally understand you there, little buddy. This dog was having a rough go of things when he first arrived in the city as well. The pup had two broken hind legs to contend with, which could not have been making his life any easier....
Rescuers Save Pregnant Pit Bull From Life On A Chain
a pregnant pit bull named Blue was not receiving the proper care or nourishment and was trapped on the end of a chain. This is no way for a dog to live, of course. Our hearts broke as soon as we saw the pictures of her all tied up like this. No pregnant animal should be forced to live in such a manner and we cannot believe that anyone would have expected this of her. The rescuers were uncertain of her future once they arrived. Photo: YouTube/The Dodo They did not know if they would be able to save her or her puppies because things had gotten...
Horse’s Mane With Long Blonde Curls Matches Her Owner’s Hair
They say that pets and their owners will start to look alike after they have spent enough time together. While we always knew that there was truth to that statement, we never realized just how true it can really be. Once you see Naomi Beckers and her horse, Storm, you will not be able to believe your eyes. These two could practically be twins, we swear. They share photos of themselves on Instagram and it’s too neat. Typically, when you think about an owner and their pet still looking alike, you imagine a cat or a dog. In most instances,...
