Animal Control

A dog is being called Lucky Penny after coming perilously close to death.  The dog was struck by a train in Richmond, Virginia, and though she lost her tail and one leg, is in remarkably good shape!

A CSX worker who was patrolling the tracks saw the badly injured dog and called animal control.  Her right hind leg and tail had been severed, but she was alert and wagging her little stump.

On April 25, 2015, Lon Benner from Tacoma, Wash., discovered a trash bag with a Pit bull mother and her 11 puppies in it. Sadly, all but two puppies survived, now police investigators are asking the community to step up, bring justice to these animals and help them apprehend the criminal(s) who killed the puppies’ mom and their nine siblings.

During Christmas 2014, Rach Kelsey and her dog named Texas Joe were in a car accident in Houston. The accident spooked the dog making him run away. The pet got lost and no one knew his whereabouts for four months. This week, the lost dog turned up behind a hotel in Hearne, Texas, 120 miles away from where he was initially lost. Thanks to a rescue organization and volunteer transporters, the dog and his owner will reunite this Saturday.
