rescue

On October 30, 2014, South Suburban Humane Society (SSHS) in Chicago Height, Ill., came to the aid of a three-month-old, hound mix puppy found abandoned in a milk crate. The dog weighed 9 pounds when he should have weighed close to 25 pounds. Thanks to a Good Samaritan, the almost dead dog is alive and recovering today.

This is the touching story of the great folks at Hope for Paws and their rescue of two dogs that had been living in a junkyard.  The pair were homeless, and in need of some love.  The female was very fearful of humans, so they had to gain her trust first.  Using their trademark gentle touch, and a bit of good old fashioned food-bribery, these two were brought in from the cold, and are looking for that forever home.  ONce again, great job guys!

A German shepherd from Cambridgeshire, England, was rescued by firefighters after the pet fell into a manhole. The dog chased after a ball oblivious of the dangers present in the open field he ran in.

On October 17, 2014, a stray dog trespassed a bank’s air-conditioned ATM room in Lambaré, Paraguay, because he was looking for a cool place to rest. It was well over 104 °F (40 °C) on that day it  and the dog just wanted a comfortable place relax. A passerby spotted the dog next to the ATM machine, took a picture and uploaded the image to Twitter. The image went viral, and next thing you know, the stray dog found a forever home.
