Animal Shelter Staff Discovers Pit Bull Mama And 10 Newborns Dumped On Their Doorstep

One morning, the Sacramento SPCA staff found a pit bull mom and her 10 newborn puppies on their doorstep. The pups were only a few days old, and the mother dog was still bleeding, which meant she had been left at the shelter shortly after having given birth.


They were left at the shelter without food or water or any explanation for why they were being abandoned.

The mother was left without a chain – so she could have just walked away from her babies, but she didn’t. She treated her newborns better than the humans she lived with had treated her.

The shelter happily took the whole family in and hoped they could find a foster family willing to take in all eleven dogs.

Separating puppies from their mother too early could be detrimental to their happiness and health. A foster dad came forward and took them all home!

Despite being abandoned, the mother pit bull was very sweet, according to the staff at the shelter. She let her everyone handle her newborns and stayed friendly the entire time.

You have to believe the momma dog was just happy to have food, water, and love! The canine family will remain with their foster dad for a few months. When they are old enough, the will be separated and put up for adoption.

Their foster dad is having a very good time with his new family and loves to share pictures! You can follow the Sacramento SPCA on Facebook to keep up with the wonderful work they do!

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...

She Visited A Chained Dog Every Day Until The Dog Disappeared. But That Led To Something Amazing.

Jes is a member of PETA, and she feels incredibly strongly about the animals in her life. For years, one such animal was a dog named Edith. Jes saw Edith chained up day after day, so she started visiting the poor dog. She would bring the loving pooch treats, food, water, and once she even brought a doghouse to the trapped dog. Then, one day Edith’s family moved and took the dog with them. PETA spent a lot of time and energy tracking Edith down, and in March of 2016 her owner’s officially gave Edith to PETA because they were moving once again. This is an incredible and touching story, and if you check out the video below you can watch it all in close detail, and I’m sure that you’ll fall in love with Edith just the way that Jes did. Take a look! Now Edith and Jes are reunited and the two of them couldn’t possibly be happier! Share away, people!

“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...
