10 Year Old Senior Pit Bull In Terrible Condition At The Shelter Needs Your Help

There are some dogs who will never catch a break and have a good day in their lives. Whether it’s because they’re strays or are being abused, they may never know the meaning of true happiness. It’s thanks to the efforts of those who work in shelters that can make their lives easier. A ten year old dog was recently brought in to a shelter, barely skin and bones.

His muscles were atrophied and his ribs and hips were clearly sticking out. There’s clearly a medical reason for his emaciation and the shelter staff are trying desperately to discover what it is so that they can get him the proper treatment. It may take some time before he’s fully recovered, but at least he’ll learn the meaning of what it is to be loved by a human being.

Hopefully, he can recover from all this and find his forever home soon. If you or anyone you know is willing to give this pup a second chance, please contact the Riverside County Animal Control – Riverside Shelter at (951) 358-7387 and ask for information about animal ID number A1265829.

“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...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning, the Dodo reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,” caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...
