We didn’t get here without great sacrifice and loss. And we honor our heroes every day with days filled with happiness and choices. We need to make their sacrifices worthwhile by recognizing the important duties of all those who fight for our freedoms.

Family Adopts Foster Dog Even When Vet Cautioned That He’s Mentally Challenged

All Dogs definitely have their own unique personalities, and Stanley’s was apparent right from the beginning. This was something a little different though, and the quirks were a bit alarming. Stanley’s Mom and Dad adopted him but soon started to worry about their dog. Stanley, the Golden Retriever was very friendly, loving and physically healthy, but there was clearly much more to his story.

Stanley was rescued from the Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid-Florida and knowing he was a little different. When they got him from his foster home, he was sleeping on the table.

However, they quickly fell in love with Stanley despite his quirks and decided to take him home. Stanley got along with their kids and the other pets right away.

 

Image Source: Imgur

 

But the Stanley’s mom and dad became concerned about their new dog. They had success in the past training other dogs, but Stanley was different. They worried he may injure himself climbing onto counters and tables.

 

Image Source: Imgur

 

Stanley wasn’t deaf, but he never responded to his name being called. Two trainers were hired but eventually quit on him. And the one suggested the dog may be mentally challenged.

The family took this seriously and studied his behavior patterns even more. They discovered an obsessive-compulsive routine where Stanley would constantly gather a slipper, remote, and stuffed animal together every day.

 

Image Source: Imgur

 

They decided to test Stanley with a dog IQ test they heard about from a friend, and he failed at getting out from under a blanket, responding to his name, and finding the treat inside a cup.

 

Image Source: Imgur

 

The vet agreed with the assessment and said that the dog’s challenges could be a result of inbreeding and stubbornness.

 

Image Source: Imgur

 

It may never be revealed why exactly Stanley acts the way he does, but it’s not something for his family to worry about. He’s physically healthy and surrounded by lots of love!

His owner said, “He may be a bit slow, but his silly quirks, good nature, and odd little personality makes us love him even more.”

You have to love that Stanley is getting a fair shot at life regardless of his challenges. Every dog deserves love and happiness!

New-Mom Introduces Newborn To Her Pet, Dog Shows Mom Her 1st Rookie Mistake

Dogs are known to have an uncanny ability to sense when a new baby has arrived. Recent studies show that dogs can smell when a newborn is related to their human pack leader.

Mom Worries When Entranced Dog Won’t Break His ‘Stare’ At Same Spot Everyday

The loyalty of dogs to their human loved ones is seen in the numerous stories of dog-parents. Ask them and they will share stories of how their pup kept bouncing back up after anything life threw at it, whether or not it was understood by its owner or handler.

Every single day, deep down inside, there are things that remind us everything is going to be ok. This heartwarming story provides a small ray of light in our lives to show us that when all hope seems lost, there are still genuinely good people to be found in the world.

His stare is trancelike for good reason, this is the moment he waits for every day once his favorite boy leaves home in the early hours.

Dogs can sense time of day and are usually pretty accurate when it comes to a consistent routine. Once the sun hits a certain point, or a dog can sense enough time has passed, he or she will then take notice and get ready to respond appropriately.

 

Image Source: YouTube Video

 

However, this story isn’t about routine as much as it’s about love. We often wonder how anyone’s life can be totally full without a dog. Can they undoubtedly say they’ve experienced unconditional love in its truest form if they’ve never had a dog before?

We would argue no. If someone doesn’t agree, send them this story and we bet their minds will change.

Abused Dog Waked Her Rescuer In The Middle Of The Night To Say Thank You

Niya had a sad, unfair start in life. She was severely abused and then abandoned. Fortunately, she ended up in Gibson County Animal Shelter in Trenton, Tennessee. Though an animal shelter cafn be a scary place to find oneself, it beats being in a home with an abuser or starving on the streets.

 

Image Source Credit: via – Facebook/Arrow Dog Rescue-Animal Rescue Revolution on Wheels

 

Niya didn’t feel safe ever again. She was terrified of everything, including the noises she heard inside her home. It seemed that hope was lost. Thankfully, Kimberley Slown came into Niya’s life. Kimberley Slown is an angel who works with Arrow Dog Rescue to give dogs a second chance. With Miss Kimberley, hope is never lost!

The dog in this photo had a large gash above her eye and one on her nose. The one on her nose was most likely from a tin can being used as a muzzle meaning she spent time in someone’s home meaning she needs your help. This pup couldn’t care less that I was photographing her for this page since she is carrying around injuries that represent neglect.

As soon as she arrived at Slown’s house, she laid in a corner and went to sleep. She slept all day and night and when she woke up, she still wouldn’t move because she was too scared to interact with anyone.

Then, the next night, something INCREDIBLE happened. Slown was sleeping when suddenly she felt hot breath on her hand. It was Niya!

“She just breathed into my hand and I woke up and immediately paid attention to her, petting her and talking to her,” Slown told The Dodo. ” She smiled and leaned in.”

After a few minutes, Niya walked away but then moments later, Niya came back and leaned in again to thank her rescuer. “It was overwhelming. I was crying.” Slown recalled.

The dog that couldn’t trust a soul was beginning to see that there’s hope, that a good life is possible! And she knew exactly who to say “Thank you” to.

Now all Niya has to do is heal!

4-Week-Old Puppy Was Sold Online For $600 — Then Quickly Dumped

A puppy named Little Bear landed in a shelter in 2012 at just four weeks old. He was the result of basement breeding and was then sold off on Craigslist to a new owner who wasn’t happy about all of the work that came with taking care of him.

Little Bear was sold on Craigslist for $600 to someone who ended up not even wanting him.

This person recognized that the pup needed to be bottle-fed and wanted to get rid of him immediately.

But at least he contacted Social Tees Animal Rescue instead of dumping him explaining that he bought the dog for his six-month-old boy but didn’t like the work that would be required to care for Little Bear.

 

Image Source: Social Tees Animal Rescue

 

The man made it clear though that’d he’d leave the dog on the street if they didn’t take him in, so the rescue rushed to get him.

 

Image Source: Social Tees Animal Rescue

 

Social Tees took Little Bear in and began the bottle-feeding he so desperately needed. This is when they learned he had come from a basement breeder.

 

Image Source: Social Tees Animal Rescue

 

Puppies born to basement breeding are often separated from their mothers way too soon and die without proper care. Little Bear was one of the lucky ones.

After a rough start to life, things have finally started looking up for Little Bear! The first vet visit went well, and he’s made progress right on schedule for a pup his age. 🙂

He’d be able to eat on his own once all of his teeth came in, but until then he’d be cared for by people who love him.

Little Bear would then be put up for adoption once ready and eventually get that loving forever home to top off his journey!

Little Bear is one example of dogs being bred for profit by people who don’t actually care about their well-being. But there are people out there who are willing to step up and fight for these dogs.

Couple adopts rescue dog before meeting him. When the door opens to reveal him they “lose it”

Many dogs are placed in high-kill shelters every day with little hope for adoption, so Tracy Whyatt stepped in and decided to do something to help. Tracy followed her passion for saving unloved dogs and started a company called Tracy’s Dogs.

 

 

Tracy and her husband, Scott, load up dogs from overcrowded kill shelters into a 32-foot trailer and drive them to other states to find them forever homes. They’ve partnered up with PetSmart as a meeting place for the dogs and their new owners.

As you can imagine, the moment the owners see their new dogs for the first time is beautiful and emotional. Everyone gathers around the trailer as the door swings open, and the tears begin to flow. Welcome to your new lives, pups! 🙂

 

Since starting their company in 2011, Tracy and Scott have adopted out over 3,700 dogs! If it weren’t for them, most of these dogs would not have survived. They have a wonderful thing going here, and Tracy’s Dogs deserves all the recognition they can get!

Deaf Dog Was Told He’s Not Allowed In The Pool, Throws ‘Oscar-Worthy’ Temper Tantrum

It’s a nice, sunny day and all Max the Great Dane wants to do is jump into the pool and have a refreshing swim. But mom isn’t having it!

Sadly, his human isn’t approving swim time. Wanting to swim badly, this big guy starts whining ever so softly, but in no time it turns into some very loud whimpering. Just like a kid who’s being denied his favorite candy.

To top it off, Max is also deaf. It’s brilliant how he can lip read and understand hand gestures from his owner. He usually has no problems agreeing with his mom, but right now, he is just downright disappointed because he is not allowed into the pool!

 

He even walks to the edge of the pool and tries to dip just one paw into the water, as if to test the temperature (and his mom!). But he decides otherwise and continues his whining which has now become very persistent, showing how annoyed he is with his mom.

We do hope poor max got to swim eventually. Every dog deserves his fun!

Workers Find Dumped Golden Retriever, As She Gives Birth To ‘Cow Babies’

When Rosie, a Golden Retriever mix, arrived at the Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue, dumped and heavily pregnant, shelter heads Katie and John Black, immediately began tending to the abandoned, homeless dog.

The staff had taken care of their fair share of pregnant dogs in the past, but when Rosie gave birth, it was clear that she was going to be a special case, as Rosie’s 4 healthy Pups looked nothing like her.


Unlike the gold-coated mama Rosie, the puppies were a spotty lot. The black and brown marks on their white fur made them eerily resemble a bunch of tiny baby cows! Fittingly, they were given the bovine names of Daisy, Clarabelle, Betsy, and Moo.

Cross-breeding often leads to striking differences in features of the puppies, but in Rosie’s case, the absolute lack of similarity was remarkable. But that didn’t affect Rosie’s love for her sweet pups even by a tiny bit!

Today, Rosie and all her babies have been adopted into loving homes. We are so thankful to Katie and John for their sincere efforts towards caring for the litter and finding them the best homes!

Defiant Husky Told To Get Into His Kennel, Decides To Use “English” To Talk Back

“Go in your house” is a phrase that has been said to Brian, a gorgeous Siberian Husky with distinctive deep blue eyes. However, Brian is not in the mood to go back to his doghouse right now; as a result, he responds loudly and unequivocally: “No!”

It’s worth noting that Brian has a full vocabulary, as he responds very clearly to this clear request (complete with wagging tail).

Siberian Huskies are known to be one of the most vocal breeds in the canine world, and it’s easy to see why when you consider how they must ply their trade in hostile environments like Siberia. They’ll receive a brief trip to the “doghouse,” but Brian, the chatty Husky, is clear that he won’t be leaving right away!
