Making Dog Pee & Poop Green
I’m betting that many of you don’t spend a lot of time analyzing the environmental impact of your dog’s poop deposits during a walk. You pull out a plastic bag, scoop up the stinky deposit and plop it in the nearest trash can. You feel good that you didn’t leave your dog’s doo-doo on a neighbor’s yard or on the edge of a hiking trail. But did you know that dog poop and pee are causing major threats to our ecosystem? Fortunately, there is a growing movement aimed at changing how we dispose of these canine...

Watch This Dog Reunite With Her Owner After One Week In Montana Winter Alone
It was the week before Christmas, and rancher Roger Jacobs of Shepherd, Montana was looking forward to a cozy holiday with his family, including his seven-year-old hunting dog, Salty.

Study Finds More Than 80% Of Americans Fell In Love “At First Sight” With Their Dog
When my fiancée and I stopped by the shelter to pick up our first pup together, we waited anxiously in the lobby while our dog was brought to see us. We were wary about finding a good fit, but all of those concerns melted away the second we saw our dog and held him. Turns out, we aren’t alone. 82% of Americans describe the moment they chose their dog as “love at first sight,” according to a new poll.

Cat’s Custom Aquarium Lets Him See The Fish Face To Face
For one family’s curious cat, the aquarium and beautiful fish within that sat in a well-lit corner of the house was just too entrancing to ignore. The cat, named Jasper, would sit for hours and watch the fish float by — but he wanted more! Inspired by other cat-friendly furniture that they had seen online, the family decided to give him something much better than a front-row seat.

Rescuers Help Stray Mama And Her Puppies Get Off The Streets For Good
For anyone who has ever rescued a stray dog, you know it’s not always easy. Some stray dogs just don’t feel comfortable coming towards you. While you’re just there to help, you can totally understand their hesitation. Stray dogs often face cruelty and violence from other humans who might leave them scared and wary of trusting people. It’s not easy being a stray dog – especially being a stray dog who has puppies. Lexus was a stray dog who gave the Hope for Paws rescue a slightly tough time catching her. Photo:...
No One Wanted This ‘Grumpy Old Man’ Dog But Now He Has The Best Family
Humans aren’t the only ones who go through the aging process. Our pets also go through a whole aging process as well. Many times, our pets can even become “grumpy” in their old age. We had a cat that turned into a veritable grandpa with his attitude when he went past the age of thirteen. While older pets are precious in their own right, they are often overlooked at animal shelters. It’s sad but true. Many times, older animals aren’t adopted because people tend to gravitate towards the younger, more playful...
‘Giant Cats’ Help Save A Restaurant And Find Their Forever Homes At The Same Time
There is nothing quite like having a little kitten sitting on your lap, comfortably purring away. It is comforting, and one of the beautiful things in life that we all appreciate. The same thing couldn’t quite be said for giant cats that have the power to tear down buildings and destroy bridges. Of course, we realize that is something out of fantasy, but in Osaka, a restaurant recently employed some “giant cats” to save their business when the pandemic hit. Naoki Teraoka owns a restaurant in Osaka that uses miniature...
Listen To The Adorable Argument Between A Dog And A Little Baby
If you have a dog in your life, you already realize that we do some pretty funny things with them around. Each dog has its own personality and if we had our way, they would have their own voice as well. In fact, it’s not out of the ordinary to make up a fake voice for our beloved dogs and to speak for them, almost as if we were holding a conversation. We might even find that we are doing that with a human baby in the family as well. We just crave conversation! Even though dogs can’t communicate with us in the same way as other...
Dog Waits for Forever Home for Three Years, So Foster Family Decides to Officially Adopt Him
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! I’ve been fostering for our local shelter for several years and have had many dogs. (198 so far) One of my very favorites was Christmas, a chocolate lab/pittie mix. He was dumped at our shelter on Christmas Day 2009, hairless, scabbed, and itching. I started fostering him, got him meds for the skin issues, and fell in love with his sweet personality. He was about 4-years-old then....
