Dog Hides Her Puppies In A Ditch For A Heartbreaking Reason

A North Carolina man made a Facebook page in July about giving away his dog and her puppies. The community worked together to make sure they all found homes. The man’s dog, Nana, is 4 years old. Nana has spent the last three years of her life chained up outside.

She has given birth three times. None of the puppies from the first two litters survived. After Nana had given birth to her latest litter of nine puppies, the man decided to give her and her puppies up.

As soon as people in the neighborhood saw the post they went into action.

The staff at Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary (FFAS) heard about Nana and her puppies and stepped in to help too. FFAS contacted Mr. Bones & Co. Rescue for help.

Elli Frank, the founder of Mr. Bones & Co., said Nana and her puppies were living in terrible conditions FFAS will take care of the puppies until they are weaned, then they will be taken to New York, where Mr. Bones & Co. is located.

Nana was very protective of her babies. Since she had lost her two previous litters, she wanted to take no chance with her new babies.

The puppies were named Peter Pan, Tiger Lily, Tinkerbell, Wendy, Michael, John, Cubby, Jane, and Liza. All are characters from Peter Pan.

All the puppies and Nana are in foster homes. On the 24th of September Mr. Bones & Co. will hold their annual adoption event, Rescue the Runway, so people willing to adopt her babies can do so!

“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...

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...
