Saved From A Life Of Horror, Abused Horse Can Now Roam Free In Peace

In order to do this, caustic chemicals such as diesel fuel or kerosene are applied to the legs or hooves and cause extensive tissue damage. Their handlers cause these poor horses all this pain just to win a ribbon. Photo: YouTube/HSUS Thankfully, Pride was rescued and brought to Black...

Starving, Heartworm-Positive Beagle Gets Second Chance With ‘Save A Heart’ Flights
Heartworm is a truly unjust disease. Not only does it prove fatal if left untreated, but it also disproportionally affects those animals who are least equipped to deal with it. Take, for example, shelter pets from Louisiana, which leads the country in terms of heartworm infection.
