Shelter Volunteer and Her Husband Adopt Two Three-Legged Dogs
Rescue dogs often face some harrowing experiences that lead them to a shelter in the first place. For two dogs in Washington State, severely injured legs were the culprit. These two pooches, who arrived at the same shelter at different times, both needed amputations. Their similar paths ended up leading to a common destination: a forever home with the same volunteer. The first pooch, Frankie, came into the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County after being hit by a car. A police officer who responded to the scene brought him in. Once...

As a result, sometimes stray dogs can become very shy and scared around people. They don’t know what someone’s intentions might be towards them, so it is safer to just run away. One little black dog was so scared of humans, when she saw some she ran across the road in an effort to escape from them. Sadly, she ended up suffering an accident and falling down into a...

Terrified Puppies Rescued From Landfill
Puppies can be notorious for getting themselves into trouble. Usually, it’s innocent and silly trouble, like the time my friend’s freshly bathed puppy got herself all dirty by running through some mud chasing a moth. But sometimes the trouble that puppies can find themselves in is a lot more dangerous, particularly if they’re strays living on the street. For a trio of small puppies, they had found themselves in a bit of a jam when they were found by construction workers inside a landfill. Photo: YouTube/Stray Rescue of...
