dog rescue

No one knows how a mutt ended it up trapped in the dirty waters of a canal in Cali, Colombia, but what everyone does know is that a heroic man, stripped off his work clothes to jump into the canal and save the dog.

A large group of people gathered around the canal to witness how a man, with the help of two policemen, helped saved a dog trapped in the canal. The dog was hardly visible from the street, the canine was not moving and he rested in the dark waters surrounded by garbage.

Miriam Jimeno and Carlota Román from Valladolid, Spain, knew something was wrong when they heard muffled barks coming from a nearby garbage container. When the two woman came close to the large metal box they knew for sure there was a dog trapped inside the container. Someone tossed a pet in the locked automatic garbage disposal and the pet had no way out. Luckily, the women and other concerned neighbors called for help and authorities came to save the dog.

Thanks to concerned neighbors, a dog that spent three months living in the back of a truck in Arica, Chile, with no access to the outside world and limited access to food and water has been rescued by animal rescuers and police officers.

The black dog has never seen the inside of his owner’s home. Neighbors called authorities to report the abuse and officers were dispatched to the location. When they arrived, they found a malnourished dog living among garbage and his own feces. The pet had no food or water at the time and had little shelter in the back of the pick up truck.

Zeus, a dog from Schenectady, New York, is lucky to be alive today. The canine survived a massive fire this past March, when an apartment building located on 102 Jay St., caught on fire. Firefighters found the dog eight days later when they were combing through the debris and spotted the pet peeking through a 4th floor window.

“We were able to get up there and lure him out with a little bit of pizza of all things,” Schenectady Fire Chief Raymond Senecal told WNYT News.

Who would pack up the car with two children, a dog and the dog’s possession, drive to the parking lot of a Goodwill in Fulton County, Ga., just to get rid of the pet by dumping him inside a dumpster with all and his bed? Apparently, Broham’s owners.

On April 2, 2015, an animal lover from Homewood, Penn, called local police to report two Pit bulls that had been abandoned in an empty apartment for weeks. Thanks to the anonymous tip, authorities were able to help the discarded animals.

A couple from Pennsylvania were driving on Route 209 in the Marshalls Creek area on March 1, 2015, when they saw a black Pit bull lying on snow, unable to stand on his own. The dog seemed hopeless and if it wasn’t for the couple, the stray would have died within hours.

The good Samaritans picked up the dog and took him to AWSOM Animal Shelter, where staff couldn’t believe the extent of his abuse.

How did a two-month old puppy get stuck in a exhaust pipe? No one knows, but the reality is that this little puppy needed some major help getting out.
