Adopted

On January 24, 2015, Gary West from Muncie, Ind., went to work and as he parked his car in the back of his family business, he heard dog cries coming from a nearby dumpster. The concerned man checked the container and found a German shepherd puppy abandoned in the bin laying on piles of trash.

Last week, officer Allen Speed and Paul Garcia were traveling down I-30 in Forth Worth, Texas, when they spotted a small terrier running down the highway. The female dog was scared and disoriented, and thanks to the officers, the pet, now named Beach, was rescued.

The Humane Society of Utah is at it again!  In December we showed you their hilarious photo booth collection, and now they’re trying something different that will help their black dogs get adopted.  It’s working!

Teresa Romero, a Spanish nurse, was the first person in Spain to get infected with Ebola in 2014 after she treated an infected patient. She was also the first patient in the country to survive the deadly disease. However, while Romero and her husband Javier were placed in isolation, their dog Excalibur was euthanized? by authorities after they feared the dog could be carrying the disease and infect other people.

This plea comes from Jennifer Quesenberry, a volunteer with Virginia German Shepherd Rescue:

The following description was included with the original video on YouTube.com:

“Pumpkin was an abused and abandoned young dog trying to survive on Houston’s harsh streets. Watch this little dog’s remarkable and inspiring story.  Oh, and a “foster failure” is a good thing.  It means the foster mom became forever mom.”

In November 2014, we told you about Isis, a malnourished Rottweiler abandoned in an Youngstown, Ohio home for more than a week. One of the men who helped rescued her, Youngstown firefighter Kyle Trimble adopted her just a few days after her rescue.
