When the dog walker found Mamas, he knew she couldn’t stay in Prospect Park by herself. Within minutes of posting a plea for help on a neighborhood Facebook page, Eric had responses. One person offered to meet Mamas by the tree and rescue them from the outside of the park. The local animal shelter system had an available kennel for Mamas. The dog was taken to the Sean Casey Animal Rescue.

They walked out of the park together, but Mamas had to take it slowly. Due to her size and a possible bladder infection, the dog couldn’t walk at a normal pace. She was then loaded up to head to the rescue, and it was there that her hesitancy went away completely!

Mamas was so ready to move on to a new chapter in life and jumped right out of the car to proceed into the shelter! It’s as if she knew she was finally safe.

Mamas needs to stay through the required stray hold and receive a clean bill of health, but then she’ll be put up for adoption to get her forever home!

In the meantime, Mamas is happy to be out of the park and surrounded by people who love and care for her. Eric knows whoever adopts this sweet girl will be very lucky to have her!

She Thought He Was Another Abuse Case, But His Microchip Scan “Freaked Her Out”:

 

It was an unlikely sight for shelter workers when they found a beautiful purebred Husky named Nate roaming the streets like a stray. However, it was soon established that Nate was very different from other homeless dogs. His hollow and haunted eyes clearly spoke of a disturbing past, and he was extremely skittish and shut himself down. Please meet Nate, this is his story!

 

Image/Story Source Credit: YouTube Video

 

When the workers scanned Nate for a microchip, his behavior finally made sense. The poor guy was registered under a laboratory and had been subjected to the most brutal testing procedures for months on end.

 

Image/Story Source Credit: YouTube Video

 

What’s worse was that the irresponsible lab remorselessly dumped him on the streets because they didn’t want to deal with his “psychologically disturbed” state. The shelter reached out to the workers of Beagle Freedom Project, who had experience with animal testing victims before.

Together, they found a foster mom who was ready to embrace Nate with all his scars. She made an intense rehab plan and worked with him for months to drive away his trauma. Toward the end of his video, we see Nate smiling brightly as he’s finally ready for his forever home.

 

Image/Story Source Credit: YouTube Video

 

He may look like a “normal dog” now, but his foster mom believes that he will always be a special warrior to her. Every year, thousands of animals suffer and rot in labs in the name of human greed. It’s about time we stand up for lab test victims and raise our voices against the inhumane treatment of these animals.

It turns out, Bal Bal’s actions are actually a daily ritual to greet his elderly caretaker grandma who arrives by the bus, who he loves and worships with all of his heart. It all began when Grandma found Bal Bal after he was hit by the car. He had no movement and was on the verge of death, but Grandma didn’t give up on him and nursed him back to life.

After overcoming a trauma, Bal Bal transformed into his savior’s loyal protector who would stick by her side like glue at all times. He refused to leave the lonely Grandma’s house and promised to look after her when no one else did. Whenever she was out of his sight, he would go ballistic and wouldn’t stop crying until he was hugged again.

Bal Bal is shown with gratitude to Grandma in the way he follows her around. His love for her is ethereal. Though, she hates to see him waiting at the bus station because there are many dangerous places where he can get hurt. She’s tried locking him up in the greenhouse when she travels to stop him from being anxious, but Bal Bal just rips open that plastic to follow his human.

Pit Bull Escaped Miserable Life, Man Held Her And Said To Wife “This Is My Puppy”

One woman found a pit bull sitting all by herself next to a railroad track. It had been raining and the dog’s coat was covered in mud. It had a collar on that looked like a choke collar and a chain tied around its neck. The woman approached the dog but as soon as she got close, it ran away from her.

The woman continued to try and get close to the frightened dog that may have been neglected or abandoned. The dog was patently fearful from being starved from neglect, shaking from the cold, and have been waiting for a long time outside. The woman recounts finally getting a hold of her friends to help save the dog who had no signs of coming near her.

The women who tried to free the dog obviously didn’t give up. The pup was nearly hysterical and it took four hours until one veteran rescuer could calmly get a leash around the dog. With the panicked animal, everything got messy and she no longer had a way out. There was no other choice but for her to lay peacefully.

The pup was so traumatized and the rescuer sat down with her and was hoping to calm her before touching her. She didn’t want the frightened dog to lash out. The Pit Bull began to notice that these women were not going to hurt her and she finally let her body relax. They decided to name this girl Pittie Cardi (after Cardi B).

Cardi met her foster parents and that first night, her foster dad decided to sleep on the floor with her. She was scared and uncertain and he could sense that fear. He laid with her for six whole hours and the next morning he told his wife, “This is my puppy.”

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.

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.

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.
