Conditions can crop up in a pet that we can never really foretell. They can become costly to deal with, but taking care of them ensures that they will always feel loved and never have to look for a new home. But not for Henry. The nine-year old Cairn Terrier was recently given up by his family because they weren’t capable of dealing with his skin allergies. Taking one look at his face reveals that his life has never really been easy. With no hair on his body from a lack of treatment and only one eye, it’s a good thing he’s been given up by his family so that he can get a better chance at life. Take a look at this little guy The shelter is hoping that someone will foster the little guy and help him get his skin condition treated. He’s also up for adoption (ID: CC# 16-7091) as well in hopes that he will find his own forever home and will never have to be neglected ever again. Share away, people.

Senior dogs in shelters don’t have the best opportunities to find the loving homes that they deserve. People look at their age and decide that they don’t want a dog for a short period of time, or one that already has a lot of problems. But Chris and Mariesa fell in love with him instantly and they’re happy that they decided to take him home. DaVinci is believed to be about ten or twelve, and was rescued from the streets of Albany, New York by the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society. Once they brought him home, they changed his name to Dave and discovered a wonderful plethora of things that he loves to do. He does have some trouble getting around, but he still enjoys every minute of being with the people and other canine siblings that he loves. Take a look at this video They even got him a wheelchair so that he can get around on his own outside. Share away, people!

There are some dogs who will never catch a break and have a good day in their lives. Whether it’s because they’re strays or are being abused, they may never know the meaning of true happiness. It’s thanks to the efforts of those who work in shelters that can make their lives easier. A ten year old dog was recently brought in to a shelter, barely skin and bones. His muscles were atrophied and his ribs and hips were clearly sticking out. There’s clearly a medical reason for his emaciation and the shelter staff are trying desperately to discover what it is so that they can get him the proper treatment. It may take some time before he’s fully recovered, but at least he’ll learn the meaning of what it is to be loved by a human being. Take a look at this fur ball Hopefully, he can recover from all this and find his forever home soon. If you or anyone you know is willing to give this pup a second chance, please contact the Riverside County Animal Control – Riverside Shelter at (951) 35...

Finding out that a dog is missing can be one of the most devastating moments in a family’s life. You never know if you’re going to get them back, or if they’re even alive. But even with the news of a dog being found, a dog may still be unwanted. That’s what happened to this poor pooch who is fifteen years old. A woman turned up claiming that it was her brother’s dog who had gone missing. She stayed with him for a while and petted his head, promising that she would come back to get him… but she never did. Now the dog, Maurice, is without the familiarities of home and someone to love him. Take a look at this image The staff of the shelter he’s in have described him as being a very loving dog, and it’s with their hope and efforts that someone will decide to take him in and give him the best time he has left in his senior life.
