Bobcat Kitten Found and Rescued in Santa Cruz Mountains
Rescue centers and animal shelters have made a massive contribution to maintaining the planet’s wildlife. Each organization has done its best to ensure proper care and home for animals — wild or domesticated. They provide animals, especially the young ones, a chance at life — to grow and keep their species alive. Those organizations are also a safe haven for orphaned animals who were found alone — with no idea how to fend for themselves. A bobcat kitten in the Santa Cruz mountains was found and rescued by the Native...
A Baby Seal Keeps on Hissing After Being Rescued and Brought to Rehabilitation
Animals tend to be snappy to humans when they find it hard to trust due to previous experiences. Baby animals who aren’t taught by parents about socializing grow to be hostile. They still don’t know how to move around the environment, making them skeptical of almost everything. People must be patient and alert during the rescue mission — to avoid accidents for both rescuer and rescuee. Marcus Monaghan showed how to handle a hissing baby animal he rescued in Ireland. @mariusmonaghan5 Made a new friend today 🥺...
Anxious Pit Bull is Comforted by McDonalds Drive Thru
Rescue dogs often have trouble interacting with their surroundings due to trauma and prefer to be left alone or stay in a spot where they feel most comfortable.

Street Dog Has Puppies and They All Get Adopted, Except for Her
This story was originally shared on The Animal Rescue Site. Submit your own rescue story here. Your story just might be the next to be featured on our blog! Someone had abandoned a dog at a lonely stretch of road near my home, and four lovely puppies were born a week later. Three were brownies and one a mix of black and white. The puppies were housed inside a roadside scupper and the mother dog would show her displeasure when someone went near. If it rained, I worried the puppies would be washed away, if not drowned. DOG.

Dog Monuments Around The World Are Turning Gold From People Petting Them
Humans have a natural tendency to pet a dog whenever they see one, even if the dog isn’t real. While you should always ask permission to pet someone’s dog, people are taking a moment to honor the dog monuments around the world with a pat on the nose or back. Hero dogs like Balto and faithful companions like Fala, Hachiko, and many more are still receiving love long after they have passed away. It is obvious where people are petting the bronze statues because that area is turning gold. The natural oxidization process turns the...
Building a Positive Workplace Culture—Why It Matters and How To Do It
[embedded content] The animal welfare industry is understaffed and facing worker turnover, like employers around the country. The effects are dire: animal shelter workers are burned out, and animals’ lives are at risk. But in the face of these challenges, Pasco County Animal Services (PCAS) in Florida has zero vacant positions, and hasn’t had an opening in an entry level position in over 14 months. PCAS Assistant Director Spencer Conover attributes this success to a positive workplace culture, built through inspiration,...

Must Know Goldendoodle Grooming Tips
Like many of our Dogster readers, you may have ventured into at-home grooming during the pandemic, but if you’re a Goldendoodle pet parent, it’s worth putting professional grooming back on your to-do list. Goldendoodles are very high on the list of breeds that need professional grooming regularly, plus weekly brushing at home, says Jay Spainhour, owner of Chicago’s Tucker Pups Pet Resort. This is because the Goldendoodle is typically low-shedding — a trait she picks up from her Poodle parent — which means the...
