They Rescued A Sick Dog From A Trailer Park. How He Reacts Inside His Kennel? Heartbreaking.

Those who run animal shelters or work in them have got to be the most caring and resilient people on the planet! Can you imagine how heart-wrenching it must be to witness first hand the terrible condition animals come to them must be? How many times have they left work in tears thinking “that is it, I am never going back!” and then turn around and be on time the next day!

They work tirelessly to help save the lives of animals that others have abandoned or mistreated! The workers at Daviess County Animal Shelter, in Owensboro, Kentucky, have a tough case on their hands right now. They found Barkley, a dachshund mix, in a trailer park and believe he was abandoned there by his family.

Barkley has a lot of serious medical issues, and it is possible the family couldn’t afford to have him treated. Barkley spends his entire day staring at the back wall of his kennel.

He is too afraid to go for walks. The video shows how terrified Barkley is when they try to feed him – he doesn’t move, he shrinks up as close to the wall as possible and freezes.

You can hear the gentle voice of a shelter worker talking to Barkley almost pleading with him to eat! The shelter started a fundraiser to raise money to help Barkley get his infected gums treated – and it is urgent.

Shelter volunteers are pleading for someone to come help Barkley – they say once his medical issues are fixed, he will feel so much better and will make an excellent addition to someone’s house!

If you or anyone you know is interested in giving Barkley a second chance, please contact Daviess County Animal Control at 270-685-8275 or email dcacanimals@yahoo.com.

“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...

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment . I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry, and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth on Instagram and @justice4earth on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...
