amazing animals in the world

  When Hayden Kristal brought Bitsy home five years ago, her dad, Steve, had some concerns. He worried about what kind of life the 5-week-old   deaf and blind puppy   would have, and whether she’d be able to get around on her own. But Steve’s fears were erased as soon as he met the energetic, happy-go-lucky dog. Facebook/Hayden Kristal “She has been her own woman since day one,” Kristal told The Dodo. “The first thing she did when I brought her home was to make a beeline for the food dish, crawl into it and eat until she passed out.” Bitsy is far from the helpless dog her grandpa imagined. She’s traveled all over the country with her mom —  hiking, canoeing, riding the subway and even skateboarding.  “Bitsy  is the sweetest, friendliest, most loving and loyal dog in the world,” Kristal said. “She is bold and sassy and she loves adventure!”  Facebook/Hayden Kristal Kristal’s dad loves his granddog more than he could’ve ever imagined, and ...

  Late one evening, volunteer rescuer Arturo Flores received a call for help that nearly catapulted him out of bed. The caller reported finding an adult poodle mix tied to a railing in the middle of a dark alleyway, and there was an open cardboard box next to her with two tiny souls left behind. When Flores arrived at the scene moments later, his heart dropped. The poodle’s two little puppies, who’d been left in the box, were circling her as she lay defeated on the ground. "[She] was tied so tightly to a railing that you couldn’t even slip two fingers under the leash around her neck," Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy 29, wrote on Facebook. “She just laid there, covered in fleas, defeated, waiting and waiting for someone who was never coming back.” Suzette Hall Thankfully, Flores reached the family just in time. He scooped the puppies up, then carefully freed their mom. He drove the little family straight to Camino Pet Hospital, where a loving veterinary team got a clos...

  Dyson has spent his entire life in the shelter. He’s grown up at   Humane Society of North Texas , and while the staff members there love him very much, what he really needs is a home of his own. Humane Society of North Texas Dyson and his siblings were found as strays and brought to the shelter when they were 4 months old. At first, he seemed like a typical puppy, but his rescuers soon discovered he was born with a rare genetic defect that was causing severe issues in both of his back legs. He ended up needing major surgery, and even then he still struggled to walk normally. Humane Society of North Texas “Dyson has been through it all — pain, surgeries, setbacks,” Cassie Davidson, senior director of marketing, communications and public relations at Humane Society of North Texas, told The Dodo. “At one point, we even thought he might lose a leg, or both!" Humane Society of North Texas All of Dyson’s siblings were adopted quickly, while he was left behind, still waiting for s...

Meet Jeremiah: a sweet rescue pup who recently arrived at the Pennsylvania SPCA (PSPCA) in heartbreaking shape. “At just 27 pounds, he was severely emaciated — skin and bones, barely able to stand,” PSPCA wrote in a Facebook post. “Even our veterinary team couldn’t believe he could walk.” PSPCA Shelter staff knew that Jeremiah had been found on the street, but otherwise they didn’t have much information on his background. Their hearts burst as they realized the “walking skeleton” had so much love to offer. “Even when he was in such a critical state, he was still so happy and eager to greet his friends,” a representative from PSPCA told . PSPCA For weeks, animal experts monitored Jeremiah as he began a special refeeding plan, allowing the pup to eat in appropriate increments so he wouldn't hurt himself. As rescuers got to know Jeremiah better, they learned that he was highly food-motivated, a trait that helped him master many new tricks. Jeremiah stuck to his health plan, ...
