Shelter Dog Is Rejected 18,000 Times. Then This Hollywood Star Steps In To Help…

No one wants to be the last one picked for a team. How about never being picked in six years?! Freya was called “the loneliest dog in the UK” after not being chosen for adoption 18,000 times in her six-year stay at Freshfields Animal Rescue in Liverpool. Freya has lived at Freshfield for her entire life and has epilepsy.


The staff at Freshfields was almost certain she wouldn’t be given a forever home. That may have been true, but Hollywood director Michael Bay saw the article about the loneliest dog and decided to add her to the cast of Transformers: The Last Knight!

Workers at Freshfields say that Freya is a big baby and is very loving and friendly. Once Michael Bay saw the article about Freya in the Mirror he starting sending out tweets.

He said that they were going to find her a home – but first, he welcomed her to the cast of Transformers! Michael Bay has said that if Freya’s doesn’t find a home, he will happily adopt her!

Freya has her own doggie diary on Facebook, and the page is updated with news about Freya’s life. Kate Jones, deputy kennel manager at Freshfields, hopes that Freya isn’t passed over because of her epilepsy.

Freya deserves a loving home after living in a shelter for so long. Freya hopes to find a home with only human adults and no other furry siblings. Because she has been in a shelter for so long, Freya asks that her new human parents have patience with her!

“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...
