Robert Frost wrote a poem called "One More Brevity" about a visiting Dalmatian and what?

There are so many senior dogs in need of rescuing and Frosted Faces Foundation, a senior dog rescue in California, does their best to help as many as possible.

Kennel Manager, Alicia Anthony, understands that the founders, Kelly and Andy, are contacted daily with requests for help, but she couldn’t resist making a plea for a senior Chihuahua in desperate need of medical care.

She saw a post about the 14-year-old Chihuahua on Facebook and the little fella’s face touched her heart.

One poor pup in Greece was abandoned in an empty home and was so scared. She was left all alone for long enough to build a distrust of all humans.

Diasozo Animal Rescue Team in Greece shared Beba’s story on YouTube.

Apparently, the dog’s owner left the house to live with family when he could no longer live on his own. Instead of taking Beba with him, he simply left the dog behind in the uninhabited house.

Poor Beba was so neglected. She wasn’t microchipped, groomed, vaccinated, or fixed. She really needed help, but she was so distrustful of humans that she didn’t want anyone coming near!

After seeing a Facebook post about poor little Beba all alone on the property, rescuers with DAR sprung into action. They were able to trap her and immediately took her to the veterinary clinic. She was so matted, it was hard to even see her face.

After being sedated, it was time for the real assessment to begin and it was heartbreaking. The poor dog’s body was so thickly matted, it had’ve been incredibly painful for her.

Once she was shaved (which was no easy feat!), she looked like an entirely new dog!

One day, I stepped out of the house barefoot and immediately heard it: The deadly buzz of an angry rattler. Instantly, I froze. Desperately I scanned our yard to see where the intruder was located but the yard was empty. The unmistakable sound increased.

As I started to move, Reba snapped at my ankle and I saw the snake bite her twice on the face as I leapt back to the safety of the house.

We rushed her to the emergency vet. Antivenom cost $600 a dose and she needed three or more. There was no way I could afford over $2,000. Devastated, we gave her fluids and took her home to see what would happen...

My husband and I have always had shelter dogs. Over three years ago, we went to a shelter to get a dog. It had been a while since we’d lost our last one, and it was time for a dog in the house. We were going for a lap dog that was older and had lost its home. Older ones don’t get adopted as easily as the others.

t this shelter, they all barked except one. She just stood and watched us. As we walked around looking at them, we passed her kennel. She stood and looked at us, and I remarked about how beautiful she was, but she was too big for us. We went out onto their patio, and they asked who we’d like to see. I told him a name and they brought the dog out, and he walked around and never came near us. So they asked who we wanted to see next, and I don’t know why I said Quill. She walked up to me and laid her head in my lap and I was in love. I looked up at my husband and he said okay, so we adopted our beautiful Doberman (not quite a lap dog).

She was 7-years-old and her owner had died. We only had her for 3.5 years...

Faye is a German Shepherd about 12 years old we believe. She was living in the backyard of her home and was in very poor condition when we discovered her.

She was ate up with fleas, crippled with arthritis and both eyes were terribly infected and she was blind from never having any medical care.

Beast came into Animal Care League as a local stray in November of 2019 along with his sister Belle. These two silly siblings were typical teenage pups and though they loved each other, they were not required to be adopted together. Eventually Belle found her forever home, but Beast was still waiting. We decided that Beast deserved a break from the shelter and a potential foster family was found.

When the potential foster family first met Beast, we warned them that the meeting might not go so well. Beast could be wild, uncomfortable with strangers upon first meeting them, and was particularly uncomfortable with men. We advised the fosters not to look him in the eye and to quickly give him treats as they walked alongside him. That first meeting, they tried petting Beast, but he snapped his mouth shut and warned that he wasn’t yet comfortable.

We hoped the second meeting would go better. Unfortunately...
