Ducks Abandoned In Pond Fall In Love At Rescue And Get Adopted Together
When two abandoned ducks ended up at a rescue together, it wasn’t long before they bonded and fell in love. Eventually, they were adopted and the best part is that they found a forever home together! The animal rescue group Wasatch Wanderers rescues abandoned pet waterfowl.

Ducks can be incredibly sweet pets, but they’re messy and require effort and love. When raised as pets, ducks may not know how...
Rescuer Finds Injured Dog Tied To A Tree And Covered In Pen Marks
There’s no excuse for animal neglect, abuse, or abandonment. Sometimes, people get desperate and feel they have no other choice but to abandon their dog. But other times, people are downright heartless and leave their pets to suffer and die. Sadly, one poor pup was found in a dire situation after being left tied to a tree with punctures in his neck and marker colored all over his body. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Queensland, Australia is investigating the animal cruelty case and hoping to find the...
Woman Finds The Perfect Companion In Blind Senior Dog With Paralyzed Legs
When somebody goes to a rescue to save a dog, they typically are looking for a younger dog that will be part of the family. It’s an unfortunate reality that older dogs tend to live out their lives in shelters with no one there to help them. That seemed to be the case with Rocket. Not only was he 12 years old when he was placed in a rescue from the streets of Miami, but his back two legs were also paralyzed. Photo: YouTube/GeoBeats Animals It didn’t look good for Rocket, and most people would not take a second look at an older dog,...
Why Do Cats Make Biscuits and Other Strange Stuff?
The most obvious answer would be because they can, but that’s not what we’re going for here. Cats have a lot of strange and unique behaviors, as anyone who’s ever owned one knows. They love hanging out in boxes of any shape or size, the plastic wrapping surrounding cases of water is a bigger draw than an expensive toy, and reaching out from blind corners with a single paw to trip you up in a seeming pratfall straight out of an old slapstick comedy pleases them to no end. But what about their even weirder side? (Yes, there is...
Little Dog Hurting In The Middle Of The Road Refuses To Run Away
Our hearts really go out to any dogs that are facing difficulty. This is especially true of stray dogs that may be injured as they are going about their day-to-day lives. This issue was recently seen when rescuers arrived to find a small dog in the middle of the road. Those rescuers from Cats of San Bernardino were amazed because the pooch wouldn’t move out of the way. Photo: Facebook/The Dodo Not only did the little dog hang around when the truck was speeding towards her, but she also didn’t run away when the rescuers came up to...
Kitten Gets Caught Red-Handed Sneaking Into The Baby’s Crib
If you happen to have a cat in your life, you already realize that it can be a little sneaky. They don’t often try to get away with things every day but when they do want to get away with something, there’s nothing stopping them. Nobody knows this better than Charley Ellis (TikTok user @charleyellis94). Not only is she a proud mother of a little baby son, she also is the proud mother of an eight-week-old kitten. Photo: Unsplash/Shane Hoving It seems as if her son and the kitten both have a special place in her life and they also...

Walmart Employee Rescues Kitten Stuck In A Vending Machine
When you begin looking for a new pet, you might have a few specific places in mind. Perhaps you will take a look at the local rescue or you might try the Humane Society. One place that you certainly wouldn’t look for a new pet is in a vending machine, but that is where one Walmart employee found a most adorable kitten. Photo: YouTube/WVLT-TV According to FOX 17 news, in Morrison, Tennessee, a woman was on her lunch break while working at Walmart. She heard a kitten and couldn’t quite pinpoint it, but after she looked closely, she...
Meet The Rescue Rooster That Thinks He’s A House Dog
If you’re like most people, the first thing that you think of when you think of a family pet is a faithful dog. Sure, there is plenty of room for those who are “cat people” but for the sake of this article, let’s just consider a dog to be the family pet. We love dogs because they are faithful and they are there for us through thick and thin. It doesn’t matter what type of day we are having, a dog will be there to greet us with its tail wagging. Sometimes, people make the decision to have a more unusual family pet...
