rescue

On Wednesday, June 25, 2014, firefighters from Tinton Falls, New Jersey, rescued Sambuca, a small 18-month-old miniature Schnauzer, from an unusual place. The canine somehow wedged himself underneath the dishwasher and got stuck.

When Alex Fiott, Laura Birchall, seven-year-old Bailey Birchall, and their Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross dog named Bella went to the beach in Chichester Harbour Hampshire, UK, they never imagined their relaxing day would turn into a dog rescue mission, but that is just what happened.

Felines & Canines, a Chicago based no-kill animal shelter, rescued Sheba on July 5, 2014, after they successfully placed many of their own animals in forever homes on July 4th. When they met Sheba, their hearts broke and they new they had to pull her and try to save her.

Statistics show that July 4th is the day when the most pets go missing, due to our four-legged animals getting spooked by fireworks. On this year’s Independence Day, one lucky canine got a special police rescue.

Harley, a six-month-old German shepherd from Wichita, Kansas, got trapped on a dead-end ledge on the highway overpass at Kellogg and Tyler Road.

On Monday, June 30, 2014, an injured three-year-old female Pit bull, walked into Philadelphia’s Engine 9 Ladder 21 Fire Station with the last strength she had in her body. The canine, named Guenevere by the firefighters, had been severely injured around her neck and was close to dying, but thanks to Firefighter Ryan Craig, that Monday was not the last Monday of her short life.

The injured dog wanted help, and somehow knew that in a fire station she would find the help she desperately needed.

On June 20, 2014, firefighters from Station 41 in East Bakersfield, Calif., got an unusual visitor at their fire house. The visitor was a four-legged Pit Bull puppy stuck in a jam. The curious pup got his head wedged in a tire rim, but lucky for him, the hero rescuers used oil and safely pull him off the rim.

According to official reports, the rescue group Start Over Rover has pulled 16 dogs of various age from a puppy mill in northwest Kansas.  They were also assisted by Volunteers from an animal shelter in Hastings in this courageous rescue.
