Holly is only five weeks old, but she’s already experienced a lifetime of pain. When she was brought into a North Carolina animal control shelter with her mother, she had a broken leg that needed to be fixed immediately. It was either that or she would be euthanized. But as is common with some rescue […]
German shepherds have a reputation for being hard-working, fierce animals. But the sweet pooches have a playful side, too! This little girl knows that firsthand as she spends an afternoon frolicking with her favorite buddies: 14 super-cute shepherds. They run and jump around with her like they’re just kids enjoying recess in the nice weather. […]
Having an animal companion is a wonderful part of life. They give you companionship, entertainment, love…and, sometimes, they help you out around the house. Service animals are trained to help their human friends. This cat, however, just naturally lent a paw to her owner. Just wait ’til he touches her nose! Cat on…cat off…the catter! […]
I always had purebred dogs growing up. They were beautiful and well-behaved…but they also had plenty of health issues due to centuries of inbreeding and over-breeding. Of course, when you get a mutt, you can’t be certain how they’ll look grown-up (unless you get them full-grown), or what they’ll act like. But after rescuing my […]
When we were little, our stuffed animals served as fluffy confidantes. They sat with us at our tea parties, they stayed close at night to fend off bad dreams, and they comforted us when we were sick. What they didn’t typically do, however, is teach us important lessons that would ultimately stick with us for […]
There are many wonderful — nay, great things we could say about the late Muhammad Ali. He was a boxer, a poet, a champion for those with Parkinson’s…but to many, he was also a hero. He famously spoke out against racism saying, “Hating people because of their color is wrong and it doesn’t matter which […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); Meet Bowie the Wonder Horse. Okay, have you taken a second to gather yourself? When I saw him, I seriously needed to take some time to re-evaluate my life. Why isn’t he my best friend? Why don’t we hang by the ocean together? Why do I give dogs so much hype […]
When rescuers from Animal Aid Unlimited responded to a call regarding a trapped donkey in a septic tank, they couldn’t begin to imagine how the animal could have gotten himself into such a predicament. As they arrived, all they found was a small square hole about the size of a computer screen. Upon further inspection […]
As much as I love not having to bundle up just to get the mail, I can’t say that I’m a fan of summer. I have basically zero tolerance for the heat, I would rather set my own hair on fire than go to the beach, and going outside half naked and sitting in still […]
When you do something awesome, your confidence goes through the roof. You can’t help but smile, stand a little taller, puff your chest out a little bit further…and as it turns out, our pups are exactly the same! Whether they just brought a ball back really efficiently or sorted the garbage into important piles, these […]
