dog rescue

On Saturday, Nov. 21, 2014, Chicago-based animal rescue organization Trio Animal Foundation (TAF) was called to rescue a black Labrador puppy that had been surrendered by a mentally unstable man. The man feared he was going to kill the pup, but before he did something he would later regret, he reached out for help.

Meagan Peman was visiting Thailand when she came across a stray dog on a beach dragging his body. She had no idea what was wrong with the pet, but she knew she couldn’t left him there to his own fate.

A home from the east side of Detroit caught fire earlier this morning and local firefighters were called to the scene to help rescue four residents and a three-year-old Shih-tzu poodle named Cream.

A person walking in front of the house noticed smoke coming from the house and called the fire department. Once rescuers arrived they fought off flames and rescued the trapped residents.

Rocky, a German shepherd from Mission Viejo, Calif., chewed off his back, right paw to free himself from a tether he had been tied to. He had no other option than to do this. It is believed the chain or rope used as a tether, wrapped around his leg and cut off any circulation to his limb.

The dog is only 11-months-old and his owner surrendered the pet to the Orange County Animal Shelter on Sunday, Nov. 9, 2014.

A 70-year-old woman risked her life by jumping into the frigid waters of Avon River in Bath, England, after her Jack Russell Terrier fell into the water and struggled to stay alive. Thankfully, both woman and pet were pulled to safety.

Firefighters from Valencia, Spain, came to the rescue of a small puppy whose curiosity got him into trouble. The puppy got his head stuck underneath a vehicle’s front seat.

When Officer Albert Sanchez from Dallas saw a frantic woman honking and speeding through red lights, the last thing he imagined is that the woman’s emergency involved a pet, but nevertheless, the officer was ready to serve and help the four-legged victim.

Carolina was driving home with Scrappy, a 13-year-old Brittany spaniel recently diagnosed with laryngeal paralysis. When they were pulling into their parking garage, the pet owner realized her pet was asphyxiating in the backseat of her car.

A mischievous dog from Chile wedged himself in between the posts of an iron fence and needed volunteer firefighters to come to his rescue.

The hero rescuers are not sure why the dog was trapped in the fence. The pet probably wanted to chase after another dog and thought he could squeeze through the iron bars, but when his robust frame didn’t give way, the dog was left yelping for help.

The first time officer Aaron Morgan, from Pantego, Texas, saved Ginger’s life, was back in September when he was off duty, visiting relatives in Arlington, Texas. The rookie officer heard the yelps of a dog and when he peeked through the fence, he found a young boy beating, choking and kicking the tan color, seven-month-old dog.

In Canada, the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS) rescued 20 abandoned animals from a garbage dump in a rural area just outside of Calagary.

AARCS was called to check on a couple of injured dogs spotted at the garbage dump, but when rescuers arrived they found multiple litters of puppies, older dogs and cats living among the garbage.
