Dogs Locked In Cage For 6 Years Finally Get A Taste Of Freedom
As humans, we often take our freedom for granted. Sadly, when you’re an animal, life isn’t always fair or just. Worse still, is there isn’t a whole lot that animals can do about their mistreatment. Yes, there are laws against animal cruelty, but oftentimes the punishments are far less severe than the crimes themselves. It’s all quite sad when you think about it, especially when you try to imagine life inside a crate for six long years. Photo: YouTube/The Dodo Unfortunately, that was life for Angelica. As miserable as...

There are so many animals in need of homes. Shelters and rescues are overwhelmed by the number of homeless and helpless pets. Thank goodness for fosters!

Baker Transforms Cake Into Realistic-Looking Bulldog
If you’re a pet parent, chances are you’ve celebrated your pets’ birthdays before. You’ve probably even gotten them a cake of some kind for the festivities. I mean, a birthday party wouldn’t be complete without cake, right? For most pet parents, a birthday cake for your pet probably consists of a fun shape like a bone if you own a dog or a fish if you own a cat. If you do select an animal-shaped cake, the proportions are probably cartoonish to a degree and upon looking at it, one immediately knows that...
Playful Dog Unmakes Owner’s Bed Every Morning
Have you ever had deja-vu when it comes to your chores? Like you could’ve sworn you set the coffee maker the night before only to wake up in the morning disappointed? Or have you ever thought that you set the dishwasher but when you opened the door you were sad to find that you have to do it all over again? It is perfectly normal to have that happen once or twice in a blue moon. But every day? That is not normal. Photo: Reddit/u/JustRudy45 And one Redditor, JustRudy45, was left very puzzled when they noticed that their bed kept getting...
The Dog Pound Is Dead
We are a nation of pet lovers. Ninety-eight percent of pet owners say pets are important members of their family. An estimated 70% of Americans own one or more pets. A recent study even found that many people will even delay needed medical care because they have nowhere safe for their animals to stay while they are hospitalized. But when someone has trouble caring for a pet—they’ve lost their job or their home, or are struggling to pay for pet food or vet care—walking into the average animal shelter, that person has...

Horse Stable Bombed By Russian Troops In Ukraine, Burning Many Horses Alive – But Some Escaped
Warning: Some of the images are disturbing. Ukrainians have shown the world they will do anything to protect their country and their beloved pets – including horses. While dogs and cats are easier to transport, horse owners are doing everything in their power to keep their horses safe as they look for a way to evacuate them. Sadly, dozens have died as victims of war. A horse stable in Gostomel, КСК Alexandria, was hit by Russian rockets and went up in flames with horses still inside. As the raging fire engulfed the...
Hungry Goats Broke Into An Alabama Church
Sheep are more often found referenced in the Bible. Goats, apparently, want more physical participation when it comes to the Church. It was on March 17 when the Autauga County Sheriff’s Office received an alarm call and a team was dispatched to the Bethesda Church in Prattville, Alabama. Deputies approached cautiously, as they saw that the glass front door of the church was broken. Glass shards could be seen on both sides of the door, so they assumed that the alarm call was for some burglary case. Once the deputies went on and searched...
