We are heartbroken to share that our little mange puppy died today. 💔 We did everything we could to save her, but the infection was too far advanced. Our team will do a necropsy tomorrow to see if there was any underlying condition that didn’t present itself. Either way, we are mad and sad, yet grateful she died with us and not on the streets cold and alone. Ugh. We are out of words and so sorry we couldn’t help her. 😭😭😭

This is why foster and adoption are so important

Yesterday I watched this happy little dog get walked back to the E-room- that’s what we call the room where the dogs get euthanized when the shelter runs out of space.
There was nothing wrong with Tracy-she wasn’t sick. ACCT was just full and had no room left.

She got so much love yesterday from other volunteers. Lots of treats and play time. Thanks to them she had a great last day. A small consolation. I had just stopped by her kennel to give her one more treat and tell her what a good girl she was when I saw the tech coming to get her. They leashed her and she hopped out of her kennel, tail wagging. I watched her walk down the long hallway, prancing all the way, happily looking up at the person walking her. I wonder where she thought she was going. I wonder if she was scared when she got in the room. I wonder if she knows how hard people tried to get her out of there. I hope they were kind to her in her last moments. I hope it was peaceful.

Run free, pretty girl 💔🌈

The United Kingdom's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak just banned the American Bully XL from the country entirely after a series of dog attacks.

These attacks are brutal, and all people deserve safety from pets and animals. But banning breeds outright simply hurts responsible and caring owners who raise sweet, peaceful pups. It ignores the root cause of aggression and violence from dogs: unethical breeding practices.

If the Prime Minister is going to proceed with this ban, he must commit to targeting breeders, not individual dogs or their owners.

Sign now to demand Prime Minister Rishi Sunak target breeders, not individual dog owners!

Owners of bully XL dogs throughout the UK were dismayed at the news. Many of them have loving, gentle animals that live in homes with children and have never shown any form of aggression.

The real culprit -- of violence against animals and eventually people -- is the unethical dog breeding industry. This is exactly why Prime Minister Rishi Sunak must go after the breeders of these bully XLs in light of this new ban. Sign the petition now if you agree!

Banning breeds ignores the root cause of aggression and violence from dogs: unethical breeding practices. (33769 signatures on petition)

The boyfriend was reviewing footage on the couple's home security cameras, when he found that the cameras had caught a 6-minute-long video of the woman inviting their dog over and then performing sexual acts on it.

During the course of that incident, the camera catches her saying to Max, "good boy."

The man was obviously extremely disturbed and worried for his dog's safety, so he brought the footage to police. They have since charged her with animal abuse and ordered her to not have any contact with pets or other animals.

Luckily, Max is now safe, back with the ex-boyfriend and away from the abusive woman.

While it's good that authorities took this case seriously, it's alarming that they have not charged her with be******ty. Instead, bizarrely, they've charged her with so**my, which makes no sense! Intimate acts between consenting humans should be legal, but sexual acts with animals shouldn't be.

Tell Michigan authorities to charge this animal abuser with be******ty! Sign the petition now!

A baby kangaroo was spotted on the side of the road.
When he saw the human, he hopped up and held out his arms to be picked up.

His rescuer gave him a Teddy bear to hold onto and then took him to an animal rescue center.

Weeks later, the orphaned baby, now named "Doodlebug," still keeps a tight hold on his bear for comfort.

September 27th, 2023 at 2 AM in the morning our baby girl Ruthie was violently taken from us by a coyote in our own yard. Her 7 pound little body was unable to fight the coyote off and he shook her her to death killing her. This happpened within feet of me and her dog brothers as I let them out to potty. I tried to save her, so did the boys but we couldn't get to her, that coyote took her. I looked for hours to get her back and I failed to find her. It was her birthday, it was her first year.

Nothing like her death has shaken me to the core. I'm a policeman and have seen many violent situations and I had no emotion, but our baby being taken, hearing her screams, I can't forget, I sit at night with a rifle hoping that coyote comes back. We miss her so much, our boys know she is gone and they look for her in the backyard. I find myself crying and cussing at the field she was taken to, yet there is no sign of her.

I hope there is a Rainbow Bridge, and she is there, I wish I knew she was there, I want to kiss her nose and snuggle her and tell her she was loved and cherished. I hope she is there and she is taken care of until I get to her. We miss you Ruthie, we love you. We will see you again. ❤️❤️
