The transformation of Penelope: from a stray dog, to the most beautiful dog in the world.

This story simply shows that when dogs get the chance to have a safe life, they completely change for the better, and the most amazing transformations happen.

This stray dog was roaming around in the streets of Los Angeles, it seems that the stray dog was scaring many people in the neighborhood because the stray dog was hairless, so they decided to send her to the shelter, and it was the right decision to take. On 1 October, 2013, a lady took the stray dog to the shelter; the dog was in a very horrible situation, that she barely moved her head. The stray dog was completely hairless and there were so many injuries on her body, the stray dog was completely near death. They picked the dog and offered her food and water, also a bath. Then it was time to check her situation to see what are the medical treatments she needs, also the volunteers didn’t forget about the cuddles and love that this stray dog really needs. The dog was very skinny; she was also injured badly from her neck. They put her in the cage with a warm blanket and food. After few days, this stray dog was completely fine, she was moving, walking normally, feeling happy, she started to wag her tail, and also her fur started to grow up again. They named this stray dog Penelope, and she is living in the shelter happily, waiting to be adopted.

Penelope is completely healthy now; her hair had completely grown up. She has the strength now to run and play, all she is waiting for now is a safe home and a loving owner who would care for her and give her endless love. Watch Penelope’s story in the video below and see her complete transformation. Share her story, help her find a home.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

Stop holding the (2018) Yulin dog meat & lychee festival in Yulin, (Guangxi) China.

This "festival" is an event that starts on June 21st of every year during the summer solstice and it lasts for 10 long horrifying days in which 10,000–15,000 dogs (as well as cats) are tortured and then consumed. However, it is estimated 25 million dogs are stolen, sold, bought, and eaten every year with the illegal dog and cat meat trade. A larger percentage of these dogs consist of pets stolen right from their loving families. The rest of the dogs are captured strays from the streets and some raised in dog farms. After these animals are stolen, bought, or captured they are then transported for days without any food or water, crammed in tiny cages together so tightly that they are unable to even move. At the yulin festival, throughout those days, these animals will be hung, burned, skinned, boiled, torched, dismembered, electrocuted and beaten...ALIVE..out in the streets for public view. But If that isn't bad enough, they intentionally torture these animals in f...

Protect Our Waters: Say No To Plastic Waste!

Plastic garbage. It’s something we all see everyday. Don’t be fooled to think that these plastics are merely an eyesore.  We’ve become so accustomed to using plastic utensils, straws, water bottles and bags that it’s easy to forget the impact this has on our environment and climate. My name is Tyler and I’m in my fourth year of university in Canada, where I’m earning a degree in Environmental Studies. I'm also an environmental activist.  Even for someone like me, it’s hard to avoid using plastic at places like fast food restaurant, and that needs to change.   I’ve started this movement to highlight calls to action happening around the world, and to grow a community of everyday citizens pressing governments and companies to get serious about cleaning up our rivers, lakes and oceans . When we work together, and keep the pressure on, we really can make an impact. I know this firsthand, after collaborating with activists across Canada to successfully urge th...
