Deer That Visits A Nearby Community On Christmas Survives After Getting Show By An Arrow
There is a deer in Kenora, Canada that is well-known to the local townspeople. The friendly deer has even been given the name of Carrot as he would often come around and interact with the local people. He would sometimes be seen with another buck named Potato. One of the Ontario residents, Lee-Anne Carver, had named some of the local deer who were known to be friendly with the Kenora neighbors. Carrot was known for making visits to the area for about three years. Both Lee-Anne and her husband had gotten well-acquainted with Carrot, so it was...
Baby Anteater Surprise Staff And Survives After His Mother Rejected Him
Ziggy the Giant Anteater is somewhat of a Christmas miracle baby. The little anteater was born on December 8th at the Miami Zoo. However, shortly after birth, he was rejected by his mother who left him to fend for himself in a deserted part of her enclosure. On one of the coldest nights of the year, Miami Zoo employees found little Ziggy. He wasn’t doing too well, having become quite weakened from the cold. They immediately took him into the zoo’s hospital and put him into intensive care. Thankfully, little Ziggy proved to have a...
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. They know just how to bring smiles to our faces. They are the best cuddle buddies around. Our dogs actually listen to us and seem to live to make us happy. There is no happier dog than a dog that has made its owner proud. But perhaps one of the sweetest things about dogs is their protective nature. Big or small, every dog wants to protect its owner. 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....
From Dog Food To Sarajevo
While buying cat food at Petco the first Saturday in December 2011, a family came in with a pathetic looking kitten. The little girl was crying and the boy just looked down at his feet while the parents spoke to the rescue group. I could tell the woman running the rescue was very angry while the kitten looked over her shoulder and I swear, every time I looked up she gave me the “silent meow”. PHOTO: SUSAN ANDERSN After I finished checking out, I went back into the store. By that time the family had left and I asked what the story...
Shelter Dogs Pick Their Own Christmas Present From Room Full Of Donated Toys
Christmas has come early for shelter dogs at Dogs Trust Ireland. Thanks to generous donations, the shelter was able to give each dog in their care a new toy for Christmas. But instead of choosing one for each dog, they lined them up in a room and allowed each dog to pick their own. As you can imagine, the dogs went wild when they entered the room and immediately started to sniff each toy. Their tails never stopped wagging and many started to race around the room with excitement. Screenshot: Facebook/Dogs Trust Ireland Thankfully, the staff...
