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.

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...

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...

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. Take the pledge to fight the cruel dog meat trade >>> SIGN PETITION HERE <<<
