Woman Can’t Decide Which Dogs To Save … So She Buys The Entire Shelter

Picking just one dog from a shelter can be a horrible choice. You know that there are some dogs who have been there for a long time, while others are in desperate need to be removed from the shelter. So how do you make that difficult choice? For this woman, she didn’t have to.


Danielle Eden is the founder of the Dog Tales Rescue and Sanctuary and has rescued hundreds of dogs who were in terrible situations and brought them to the shelter in King, Ontario.

But when she went to visit an animal shelter in Israel, her heart broke.

The facilities were only fit to house 70 dogs, but they were currently housing 250.

The dogs were crammed together in pens, and there were even more rats than dogs. There were dead rats too, and that made their living arrangements terrible.

The dogs would get tossed some bread, and it would turn into a mauling session over who would get to eat.

There was no way she could only pick a handful of animals to take back with her.

So she bought the whole shelter.

She managed to find homes for 90 of the dogs within Israel and 25 of them are making the trip back to Canada to find homes of their own.

The remaining 150 dogs are still at the shelter, but through her efforts and those of volunteers in Israel, they are working together to make it more habitable and for the dogs to receive medical attention for their various conditions.

“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...

Speak out against the cruel dog meat trade

Much of the world sees dogs as their trusted companions, but in parts of Asia they suffer terribly as victims of the trade in dog meat for human consumption. In some Asian countries, dogs used for this industry are mostly stolen pets and they are sometimes tortured before being slaughtered. The dog meat trade is not only cruel, but is also linked to the spread of rabies and other diseases. HSI is working with local organizations in South Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India to sensitize the public about the harmful dog meat trade that thrives in these countries. We actively shut down farms in South Korea, assist farmers as they transition to more humane livelihoods, support our local Chinese partners in intercepting dog meat traders’ trucks, fund the care of confiscated and rescued animals and lobby for better laws throughout Asia.
