homeless dog

When Trinity was found last month in Lexington, Ky., she was scared, hungry, pregnant and injured. The stray dog was caught in a hunting trap and lost her right rear leg. She somehow free herself from the trap and wandered into a law office in Floyd County, where Good Samaritans rescued her and took her to Woodstock Spay and Neuter Clinic.

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.”

Gato (Spanish for Cat) belonged to Benjamín González Sánchez, a homeless man from Guadalajata, Jasisco, Mexico, who unfortunately died two weeks ago of hypothermia. The dog and his owner used to sleep outside one of the entrances to Jalisco Stadium, but since the passing of González Sánchez, the dog simply roams the streets alone without anyone to look over him, get him food, or protect him from the cold.

In Lima, Peru, a homeless dog found tied outside a home has joined the fire department in the Breña district. The once abandoned and unwanted dog has gone from homeless to rescued, and is now getting trained to become a service rescue dog.

When the four members of the Swedish Peak Performance Team started off their journey in the Adventure Racing World Championship held in Ecuador, they never imagined they would be interviewed by multiple global news outlets even after placing 12th on the race. Their jump to fame was not just because they participated and completed this grueling competition, but also because they were compassionate enough to look after a stray dog that joined them mid race.

On Sunday, October 5, 2014, Melrose Park Neglected Dogs feeders, a group of volunteers in Houston, Texas, who feed and help find placement within rescue organizations for the hundreds of dumped dogs found at the park, came across a case of abuse and neglect unlike any they had seen before. A malnourished, almost dead dog was dumped at the park. The pet named Sampson, was locked inside his urine and feces filled crate.

Dirk van der Sterre, owns and manages FTC-FBO, a private airport terminal at Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey, and from time to time, he helps Home for Good Dog Rescue (HFG) transport homeless animals from Georgia and North Carolina to the Northern states. There, these unwanted pets get ready to move into forever homes.

Van der Sterre is an animal lover and when an opportunity presented itself to help these pets, he didn’t hesitate.

A friendly dog from Lima, Peru, is looking for his owner after he somehow hopped on a bus and got lost, but lucky for him, a kind woman named Aidé Montero, noticed the lost and confused pet and decided to help him.

Back in April we told you about a massive fire that destroyed 2,900 homes in Valparaiso, Chile. While the fire left many humans homeless it also affected many house pets and stray dogs. Out of the devastation came hope, when a group of concerned animal lovers organized an emergency shelter area to treat and care for the many dogs that lost their homes and owners, but until today, many of those pets are still waiting to be reunited with their original owners, or adopted into new loving homes.
