Rouge National Urban Park Officials Ask for the Public’s Help with Abandoned Animals
We hear about it more frequently as each day passes: pet owners dumping their pets in parks and at airports.

Sperm Whale Washed Up on Kauai Reef Filled with Plastics and Other Garbage
When will enough be enough? For the fourth time in recent memory, a dead whale that washed ashore was found to have a stomach full of plastics and other trash. This most recent example happened at a Kauai park in January 2023. Once the animal was relocated and experts had a chance to perform a necropsy, they sadly realized the whale’s stomach contained fishing nets, a variety of plastics, and even traps used for catching hagfish. This debris, ingested by what was a 60-ton sperm whale, is believed to be at least a contributing cause of...
Tiny Puppy Gets Rescued After Calling Out For Help In The Street

Faithful Dog Alerts Parents To Abusive Babysitter
We all love dogs for different reasons. Some of us love dogs because they are a part of the family, and others because they care for us in remarkable ways.

Little Boy Wins Heart Of Rescue Pony Who Was Scared Of Kids

Starving Dog Collapses In Front Of Stranger And Finally Gets To Experience Love
When we see dogs on the street, our hearts go out to them. That is especially true when they are in need, and we may even try to help them somehow. That certainly was the case with Ruger.

New York Shelter Goes Viral For Their Brutally Honest Dog Ad
We have become accustomed to having animal shelters go viral for their excellent work. They take care of dogs that cannot be cared for otherwise, and they often find them forever homes. Every once in a while, an animal shelter will go above and beyond and go viral for an even more interesting reason. That was the case with the Niagara County SPCA, who did something unusual to find a forever home for Ralphie. They posted an ad for Ralphie on Facebook, but it wasn’t your typical ad. They called Ralphie a “whole jerk – not even...
Dachshund Loves Patrolling The Yard So His Parents Built Him A Fence Rampart
Since ancient times, a rampart has been an essential part of checking on the surroundings of a castle or village and protecting it. We often see these ramparts when we visit those areas, but we don’t see them often in modern situations.

According to The Dodo, Miles had a problem, and his family was trying hard to find a solution. You see, he wanted to keep the yard...
