Pet Goose Snuggles Owner And Attacks Everyone Else
Geese aren’t known for being the friendliest pets. In fact, they’ve got a reputation for being rather aggressive. Growing up, we were allowed to get almost any animal we wanted as pets – except for geese. The risk of dealing with goose attacks was too high. Our neighbor’s dog actually saved a young child down the street from a vicious goose attack! Photo: YouTube/Matt Temmerman Despite their reputation, they can occasionally be sweet and cuddly. At least, they can be when they want to. Wally the goose loves his owner...

Woman Saves Pregnant Pitbull From Giving Birth In The Shelter
It’s not fair that any dog has to live in a shelter for extended periods of time, but it’s especially unfair when that dog happens to be pregnant.

Zia was living in the shelter and was about to give birth when Noelani showed up to find a foster dog. Photo: YouTube/The Dodo Noelani, with Fresno Bully...

This Understaffed Animal Shelter Threw Open Their Doors and Invited Everyone to Apply for Jobs
Like so many shelters, SPCA Serving Erie County in West Seneca, NY, is having a difficult time getting and staying staffed.

The police investigation found, “On June 9,...

Pet abandonment has always been an issue but it has gotten significantly worse since the pandemic happened.
