Dog Spends His First Christmas With His New Family After 3 Years Of Neglect
Pets are a gift that should not be taken for granted. Unfortunately, not everyone who gets a pet treats them with love and respect. And for one previously neglected mixed beagle pup, he finally has received a second chance at a happy family. The sweet little pooch named Bean had spent the first three years of his life tucked away inside an outdoor cage.

There is a deer in Kenora, Canada that is well-known to the local townspeople.

Dog Finds Forever Home Just Before Christmas After Spending 3+ Years In A Shelter
All animals deserve a loving, forever home. Sadly, there are thousands of animals in shelters waiting for their turn at a chance to live happily ever after. It’s quite heartbreaking – particularly around the holidays as no animal should have to spend Christmas alone in a shelter. But for one 10-year-old Labrador retriever mix, he got his Christmas present early when he was adopted. Capone is the pooch who had spent a total of 1,134 days waiting at the Animal Friends shelter in Pittsburg for someone to love him. The shelter’s...
Rescue Tortoise Enjoys A Custom Shell Scratching Station
If there is one thing that 2020 has taught us, it’s that we should never take the little things for granted. It is these little, everyday moments – like reading a book, enjoying a cup of coffee, or having a relaxing bath – where we can find immense joy. Animals are often great teachers of this, as they know just how to appreciate the small things in life and derive the most pleasure from them. A great example of this is Princess Neferu. The African spurred tortoise lives at the Badger Run Wildlife Rehab located in Klamath...
Tiny Dog Destroys Everything That Comes Through The Mail Slot
Man’s best friend. That is what we call our dogs. And for the most part, they are the perfect companion. They are always willing to give us comfort when we’re sad.

But there is one...
Daring Hamster Makes An Escape From A Cardboard Obstacle Maze
In my opinion, hamsters are quite underrated as pets. Even though they’re small and their lifespans are pretty short, they actually make great little companions. As tiny as they are, they really pack a punch in terms of personality. They might be small, but they certainly can be sassy. And one very feisty little hamster named Mister Hamster proved himself to be quite the Houdini after becoming “trapped” inside a little hamster jail. While in his cardboard prison, the teeny rodent was slowly plotting his escape. It turned out...

Best Hero Dog Times Two!
One day, I stepped out of the house barefoot and immediately heard it: The deadly buzz of an angry rattler. Instantly, I froze. Desperately I scanned our yard to see where the intruder was located but the yard was empty. The unmistakable sound increased. PHOTO: PEXELS As I started to move, Reba snapped at my ankle and I saw the snake bite her twice on the face as I leapt back to the safety of the house. We rushed her to the emergency vet. Antivenom cost $600 a dose and she needed three or more. There was no way I could afford over $2,000....
