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...

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...

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...
