They Had To Euthanize A Multi-Colored Dog In Three Days. When The Dog Sensed This? He Did The Unthinkable.

Sometimes animal rescue facilities, try as they might, just can’t manage to save everyone. The main problem for most facilities is overcrowding. Almost any shelter for dogs or cats has suffered or is currently suffering from massive overcrowding problems.

There’s simply too many animals out there and not enough homes. That was the problem at a shelter in Constanta, Romania where Angus arrived after being attacked by another dog.

The shelter authorities didn’t have any space for animals, and they made a difficult decision. Angus, along with 150 other dogs, would be euthanized over a three day period.

Local activists convinced the mayor to stop the killings for a few weeks while they tried to find places for the animals.

They got to work right away, moving many injured and sickly animals as fast as they possibly could.

Anne-Marie Dimi Marcu was taking pictures of the animals who were in the worst shape, and that’s how she met Angus.

He was thin, blind, dirty, and wounded. Anne pulled out 15 adult dogs and 11 puppies. Most of them, including Angus, went to her home.

She made arrangements for Angus to travel to Scotland after he had spent some time healing from his injuries and conditions.

It took time, but eventually he arrived in the arms of a woman named Amanda. Angus lost his eye, and he’s still recovering from all of his problems even now, but he is at last with someone who loves him.

And he’s going to live a long, happy life.

“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...

Dead Sea Turtle Washes Ashore With Horrifying Wake-Up Call For All Humans

Smokey the Bear told us we were responsible for preventing forest fires. Crime dog McGruff helped us take a bite out of crime. Woodsy the Owl told us to “Give a hoot, don’t pollute.” It’s that last one humans seem to have a big problem with. Where a wizened old owl’s advice has fallen short, however, the tragic image of a dead Kemps Ridley sea turtle with a beach chair stuck to its back may prove more compelling. An eye-opening illustration of the damage human pollution has done to our oceans, images of this tangled turtle have been sweeping across the internet, first posted by Fort Morgan Share the Beach , a local chapter of the Alabama sea turtle protection nonprofit Share the Beach. The story these pictures tell is a dark one which, wildlife advocate or not, is hard to ignore. Source: Facebook/Fort Morgan Share The Beach The turtle was dead when it washed up onto the shore. “There was a heavy string around the chair that wrapped around the turtle’s neck,”...
