A heartwarming story. 🐾😍

Street Art Utopia: Green-Wood Cemetery, located in Brooklyn, New York City, is famous for being the final resting place of numerous well-known figures such as composer Leonard Bernstein, photographer Charles Ebbets, and artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.

However, among the 478-acre cemetery, a small gravestone dedicated to a dog named Rex, who died over 100 years ago, has captured the hearts of many.

Rex’s grave has attracted significant attention, with visitors flocking to pay their respects to the beloved canine. In a touching tribute, people have been placing sticks across the statue’s paws, turning it into a heartwarming tradition. The gravestone, situated beneath a tree, has made it convenient for passersby to gather sticks and offer them to Rex.

While there are four other dogs buried at Green-Wood Cemetery, Rex was believed to be the last due to public opposition to animal interment.

In April 2016, the cemetery hosted a tour showcasing the graves of Rex and the other dogs buried there. This is how the public became aware of Rex and the other dogs laid to rest within the memorial park.

Stacy Locke, Communications Manager at Green-Wood Cemetery, shared, “People will drop a stick across his little paws. Someone also left a picture of a dog there once, maybe their little pet who passed away, as to say, ‘Rex, look after my little one.’”

The growing collection of sticks and images of Rex’s grave have circulated widely online, sparking curiosity and warm sentiments from the public. This unique tribute to a century-old canine reflects the deep bond between humans and their pets, reminding us of the lasting impact our animal companions have on our lives.

*** UPDATE *** KitKat has been neutered and all blood tests have come back negative. All she needs now is someone to love her and take care of her.

Say hello to KitKat. She’s around six months old and turned up in a garden, extremely thin and hungry. As you can see, she’s made herself at home, but the owners only come here for holidays in the summer and they cannot adopt her.

So, she’s looking for someone to care for her and love her all year round. Could that be you? If so, please call 722850910 to find out more.

If you can’t adopt, please share so that we can find KitKat a home before she’s back on the streets. Many thanks! 🐾💓

Please help Malcolm’s Cats of you can. Just 1€ a month could make all the difference.

Malcolm’s Cats Spain. In Spain, feral cats have a harsh and difficult life. I am trying to make that life a little bit better for some of them. I now have 36 cats of various ages and in various states of health. Vets bills are not cheap and my food bills and medication add to the costs of keeping ...

Kiki is 12 years old and has suffered from arthritis for a while. He now has hip displasia and his back legs no longer work, so we worked with his owner to find him some wheels and allow him to enjoy his walks once more. It makes our hearts sing to see him getting used to his new wheels.
Kiki tiene 12 años y sufre de artritis desde hace un tiempo. Ahora tiene displasia de cadera y sus patas traseras ya no funcionan, por lo que trabajamos con su dueño para conseguirle algunas ruedas y permitirle disfrutar de sus paseos una vez más. Nos hace cantar el corazón verlo acostumbrarse a sus nuevas ruedas.

One of many unsung heroes who help abandoned dogs. Well done Denise.

We often talk about " Long Stayers" and ‘’Lifers’’ but we are usually referring to our dogs....however super volunteer DENISE must surely be worthy of this title with a whopping 14 years volunteering with us under her belt!!! There is not much Denise has not seen or heard in her time with us that's for sure😃. Here is Denise's story....

"I first visited Los Infiernos Protectora about 14 years ago when my sister and brother in law adopted a dog and all 3 of us haven’t actually ever managed to leave!

In the old days we had to clean out the cages and feed the dogs as well as walk them. There was no where near as many dogs as there are now😭

Following a fall I am no longer able to walk the dogs (as I no longer bounce) but keep myself occupied at the shelter cleaning cages and filling water buckets and generally trying to make sure the kennel is clean when the dogs come back from their walk. I also try to help new walkers navigate their way around the shelter.

I am involved in the administration side of things too, I keep the records of the dogs and their details which helps us in providing timely responses to adoption queries. I also assist with the profiling of dogs (this is no easy task with over 800 incoming dogs in the past year alone).
By keeping these records we can ensure that all dogs that are available for adoption get exposure on social media.

Where the past 14 years have gone I simply don’t know. I’m almost 78 now!!"

Denise has also been involved with the rehoming of many of the dogs at the shelter and one of the first dogs she rehomed was Picasso who has recently celebrated his 10th birthday after being adopted in the UK🎂

Denise, without your dedication and hardwork not only at the shelter but also the amount of ‘hidden work’ behind the scenes many of these dogs would not have had the opportunity of a new home and would have simply become invisible. You are an inspiration to us all and we are so thankful to have you on the team.

👏🐾⭐️🐾🐾👏❤️

The owner of these cats has just gone into end of life care and she needs to find homes for them. They are in Mazarron. They have contacted the local rescue but they are unable to take them. They are happy to transport them.

There are 2 females & 1 male and are all 6 years old. We believe they are all up-to-date with vaccines, etc, and neutered. Please get in touch if you can offer them a home.
