rescue

On November 25, 2014, Karen Herrera from Fontana, Calif., found a white and brown female dog inside a garbage bag tossed on the side of the road. The dog had endured abuse at the hands of her owner prior to getting discarded with the garbage. The dog’s body had multiple bite wounds and patches of missing fur, yet, she had somehow survived the unimaginable and patiently waited on the side of the road for a helping hand.

This past November, a starving large breed dog, possibly a Great Dane mix, wandered into a Greeneville, Tenn. garage, looking for shelter, food and peace. The malnourished black dog probably had a few days left – if not hours – to live, all he wanted was a comfy place to rest his tired body, little did he know that walking into that garage would forever change his life.

Two stray dogs from Mexico where walking along the highway connecting Monterrey and Saltillo on Sunday, Dec. 7, 2014, when a vehicle traveling at high speeds hit one of the dogs leaving him for dead. In a country where animal welfare is not a top priority, the chances of the two strays getting help were zero to none, but what happened next was just unexpected.

In A Coruña, Spain, concerned animal lovers feared that a dog walking along a building’s slanted roof top would lose its balance and fall to his own death. Luckily the dog’s owner was made aware of the precarious situation and helped bring the pet back to safer ground.

The naughty dog was home alone at the time of the incident, and through a back window, the pet was able to exit the residence and access the rooftop.

In northern Ontario, Canada, there are many stray dogs that every year face dying from starvation or brutal winter temperatures, but thanks to Friendly Giants Dog Rescue (FGDR) and Pilots N Paws Canada, three stray dogs from Sandy Lake First Nation reserve will no longer starve or be at risk of freezing to death.
