Dog rescues always bring a tear to my eye, but this one is particularly special. Without the help of kind humans, the L.A. Fire Department, and a microchip, this injured mastiff would have likely died. Luckily, her story has a very different ending. The terrified pup was first spotted by a tourist Santa Monica, California. […]
I’ve always been a fan of prison programs that help inmates become better people instead of just locking them up. This isn’t to say that there aren’t prisoners who need to remain behind bars for violent offenses, but many people who are put away just need structure and a little help to become productive members […]

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); In Los Angeles, thousands of stray dogs wander the streets each day. Many are starving, injured, or have been mistreated by humans. For them, a chance at a better life seems out of reach. That is, until Hope for Paws shows up.

These animals are as powerful as they are huge, and they’re scary enough to freak out even the toughest people. Here are some of the biggest, most intimidating animals that call the ocean home.

Moms, dads, you know that being a parent is one of the most — if not THE most rewarding thing you’ll ever do. Oh yeah, and it’s also the most tiring thing. Yes, it’s totally worth it when you see your little ones grow into responsible adults. But it’s a long process to get there. […]
“Oh my gosh, I missed you so much!” That was the first sentence out of little Claudia’s mouth when she was reunited with her cat, Cursor. The sweet girl’s cat had been missing for three years, so it’s easy to understand why she was so excited when her parents surprised her with the beloved calico […]
Life for Tumbles the two-legged puppy just got a little less ruff. His caretakers at the Friends of the Shelter Dogs in Athens, Ohio, recently outfitted the pint-sized pooch with a custom-made 3-D printed wheelchair. Watch the moment that Tumbles takes his first wobbly steps with his new wheels. (function(d, s, id) { var js, […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); Now that summer’s back in town, you can usually find me wading in still water with total strangers at any given moment in the pool behind my apartment building. Although dealing with people you don’t know when you hit the pool isn’t always ideal, it’s pretty great when it’s 400 degrees […]
