Stray Fought So Hard That She Fainted Against The Steps Of A Convenience Store

When an animal has to fend for herself, everything becomes more challenging, especially staying safe and healthy. Homeless animals contend with hunger, exposure to the elements, disease, and even fights with other strays. One dog was found all on her own lying near the entrance to a 7-11. She found a spot where she felt safe, by the front step, and passed out.

 

Image Credit/Story Source: YouTube Video

Thankfully, a kind human saw the dog and called a rescue organization immediately. The woman waited with the dog until help arrived. The poor pup was so depleted that she couldn’t even wake up. Her face was swollen, likely from a bite from another animal. It is unclear if it was from another stray dog or cat that fought her for food or if it was from an encounter with a hungry wild animal.

Image Credit/Story Source: YouTube Video

The rescue ambulance pulled up soon after. The woman who found the dog was so relieved to see them! These animal rescuers were amazing! They had their own state-of-the-art vehicle, uniforms, and plenty of equipment in case an animal needed urgent intervention. The rescuers called the vet clinic and told them they were bringing a dog, that was in bad shape, straight over.

Image Credit/Story Source: YouTube Video

Once they loaded the dog into the ambulance, they gave her IV fluids. This helped tremendously! When they arrived at the clinic, the dog had perked up a bit and was able to walk from the crate into the exam room. She proved that she was disoriented and had never been inside a building before. She walked straight into the glass windows. But luckily she didn’t hurt herself.

Man Spends Entire Day In The Blizzard Trying To Save Ailing Puppies From A Pipe

A homeless dog named Hera was gripped with anxiety after she gave birth in the unforgiving winter months on the streets of Serbia. There was a blizzard wrecking havoc every other day, making it hard for her to scavenge food or keep her dainty puppies warm and well-fed. She later crawled through the snow to seek refuge in a cold and wet drainpipe by the roadside.

For the next few days, Hera was constantly stressing over the survival of her sickly babies. She would dash out of the pipe every time she heard a vehicle whoosh by, pleading with every passerby to help her keep her babies alive. But her hopes were squashed with indifference as no one ever offered her the shelter or warmth that she so desperately sought for her puppies.

Dog Too Weak To Move In Woods, Concealed Gifts That Were Depleting Her

There were two women who were walking through the woods and came across a dog. One of the women, named Angela wanted to help the dog, but unfortunately they weren’t ready for what they were about to find.

As they approached the dog, she was concealing a litter of puppies. The mama dog was too weak to move, but her puppies continued to nurse- depriving her of even more nutrients. The women had to act fast. They ran back home and got food and water.

 

Image/Story Credit Source: TheDodo – YouTube Video

 

 

After this trauma, the mother dog was too weak to sit up and eat. Angela came and called softly instead of approaching aggressively- she could lash out to protect her babies. Angela came over slowly and the mama dog just laid there like she had lost all hope. It broke Angela’s heart.

 

Image/Story Credit Source: TheDodo – YouTube Video

 

 

Angela was able to load a mama and her puppies, which were 2 weeks old, into her car. The puppies were healthy, and it was a large litter! The first night was difficult for everyone. Mom seemed hesitant about everything. Angela set up a kid’s swimming pool with blankets and pillows to make sure they were as comfortable as possible.

 

Image/Story Credit Source: TheDodo – YouTube Video

 

 

All the puppies were given extravagant names such as Aurora and Orion. Angela was ecstatic to finally have an accepted mama dog for Sky. The puppies gave baby Sky so much love, it was clear they would all grow up and live a healthy and happy life.

Man Leaves Dog At Shelter When Landlord Says “Give Up Your Pit Bull Or You’re Out”

There are times that we need to make very difficult decisions in life. This story contains a story where a man had a choice between his home or his dog. This is their story. 

 

Image Source Credit: YouTube Video

 

For a man, named Lewis Jiminez, he understands this lesson all too well. Lewis had no choice but to take his best friend, a Pit Bull named Titus, whom he adored, back to the shelter where he adopted him. Lewis wasn’t surrendering Titus or turning his back on him. This story isn’t about that at all!

Back when Titus was only 2 years old, Lewis came to the Austin, Texas shelter and fell in love with the handsome, sweet Pit Bull when he saw him playing in the yard, jumping about. He couldn’t resist the dog’s happy and sweet demeanor.

For the next 5 years, the duo was inseparable. They developed a deep bond that would last a lifetime. For Lewis, Titus was family. Lewis said, “He’s like my big old kid. He’s part of me.” But then the unthinkable happened. Something that forced the duo to separate.

 

Image Source Credit: YouTube Video

 

Lewis was told he couldn’t keep Titus. The management company of his building told Lewis he had to get rid of his Pit Bull or he would be evicted. Lewis had nowhere else to go! And he had no friends or family who could take care of Titus until he found a new place to live. Lewis became desperate.

He had no choice but to bring Titus back to the shelter where he got him. This devastating decision broke Lewis’ heart. The shelter accepted Titus but they were pretty sure, like so many other people, that Lewis would drop Titus off and never return again. Technically the shelter doesn’t hold dogs because owners say they’ll be back all the time and don’t come back at all.

But this time was different. Lewis was unlike any dog owner they had met before.

Once at the shelter, Titus had a rough time immediately. Adjusting to the shelter was impossible for him; he was used to being in a loving home without the chaos. Without the incessant barking. Without the cold, concrete floors.

 

Image Source Credit: YouTube Video

 

Shelter life is incredibly hard and Titus was miserable. He sat in his kennel most of the time, feeling downright depressed. The only upside to his days was when he could come out and play. Then Titus would run around happily. He was grateful to be out of his ‘cell.’

Lewis came to visit often and Titus would perk up. He was thrilled to see his dad but then the visit would have to come to an end and both Lewis and Titus were devastated all over again. Lewis cried every single time! But this made him even more determined to get a new home so he could get Titus out.

Then the miracle they had both been waiting for happened. Lewis found a new house! It was perfect. It had a nice big yard for Titus to run around in! Lewis went to the shelter to pick up his ‘son’ and the reunion was PERFECT! The tears flowed and Titus knew his dad was there to pick him up for good. The emotional embrace (after embrace) that came next was captured on camera.

 

Image Source Credit: YouTube Video

 

Titus has the sweetest smile on his face as Lewis gives him the biggest hug. The shelter shared the photo on their Facebook page and it went viral. Their reunion was so amazing that the whole world cheered!

Lewis was so grateful to have his dog back. He also thanked the shelter workers over and over again for taking care of his baby; he knew that their kindness and love is what got Titus through the whole ordeal.

The shelter workers knew deep down that Lewis was always coming back for Titus despite the other times they witnessed the opposite from other dog owners. The duo is living a happy life again, together. And we couldn’t be happier for them!
