All The Animals Were Adopted One By One ‘Til He Was The Only One Who Remained

Capone is a senior Pit Bull. He has been waiting for a forever home. His shelter mates have all found homes, but Capone was either ignored or put back in his kennel after a brief meeting with staff and volunteers. They knew he deserved to find his forever home and make it out of the shelter alive.’

It broke the shelter team’s heart: “For quite some time Capone was the only dog we had in the shelter,” Carly Quinn, the director of the Ionia County Animal Shelter, told The Dodo. “All the kennels were empty, except for sweet, quiet, kind Capone.”

Capone was adopted from the shelter but returned after he began fighting with another dog at his new home. Capone became very depressed and stopped eating.

“He lost quite a bit of weight as he just did not have the appetite he did in his home,” Quinn noted. “It was very hard to get him to eat. We had to coax him daily with treats and assorted wet foods.”

Everybody could see that he lost a piece of himself and just lost his appetite.

“He was heartbroken,” Quinn said, “and anyone who has felt true heartbreak understands how proper diet takes the back seat.”

Having been adopted and then returned to the shelter changed Capone. “The Capone we met in 2017 and the Capone wet met in 2018 were two different dogs,” said NSC Director Jon Peddie. ” Quinn said. “After he was surrendered the second time, it seemed like he picked and chose his friends as if he truly felt betrayed. He became very attached to us shelter staff.”

“He is a ‘velcro dog,’” Quinn added. “A dog who loves to be right next to you, always touching you.”

Quinn checked their Facebook page and saw a message from a couple interested in Capone. “They had fallen in love with his pictures and his story,” Quinn said. “[When] they came into our shelter later that day, they had already gone to the pet store and made him a custom name tag with his name and their information.”

The staff at the shelter only wanted Capone to be adopted out to a home where he was the only dog. This proved more challenging than they thought it would be.

The staff of a shelter in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, shared a photo of Capone on their Facebook page. They hoped that someone would see him and adopt him. They were even more determined to get Capone placed after the shelter had to relocate due to construction work. He did not deserve to be left behind especially when he was so lovable and playful.

Quinn checked their Facebook page and saw a message from a couple interested in Capone. “They had fallen in love with his pictures and his story,” Quinn said. “[When] they came into our shelter later that day, they had already gone to the pet store and made him a custom name tag with his name and their information.”

But everyone was so nervous! Since his second surrender, Capone had become quite picky about who he liked and who he preferred to stay away from. What if he didn’t like his new potential parents?

Quinn practically held her breath. She walked Capone over to meet the couple with her fingers crossed. Quinn said, “As I walked into the lobby with Capone, he stopped and looked at Jon and Ashlee for a while. They both knelt down and Capone ran right into their arms.”

“It was truly a tearjerker,” Quinn added.

Even when Capone left, the staff was a mess. They were so nervous he would come back. But as time went on, and the staff checked in on Capone, they realized he DID get his happily ever after. Just look at him in his new home with that peaceful sleepy smile

“Look at that smile,” shelter volunteer Sammie Vincent wrote on Facebook. “Us shelter staff actually cried tears of joy for Capone.”

Abandoned Dog Crying On Side of The Road Just Wants To Kiss Her Rescuer

Judy Obregon, who leads rescue organization The Abandoned Ones (TAO), often frequents the grim roads near a dumping ground around Echo Lake Park in Texas. She skillfully spots live animals among the decomposing bodies and brings them to the shelter.

When she finally arrived home, Judy took the puppy to the vet. She was so scared that she wagged her tail when she saw the doctor and gave him kisses. The doctor said that her wounds were healing, but it would take a while before they healed completely. He gave her some medicine and set up an appointment for two weeks later.

 

Judy noticed that the pup, now called Callie, had a string around her neck. Judy realized that the string was part of a toy that had broken off in Callie’s attempts to break free. The other part of the string was still in the same fence where she was waiting. Poor pup! She didn’t move from her spot and hoping that a familiar person would come looking for her.

 

Relieved at being rescued from such a decay, Callie gave Judy a very sweet kiss on the cheek! She was taken to the vet’s where she whined when touched and was found without a microchip. She seemed considerably healthy even after going through such a nightmare.

Callie is recovering well from the time she spent in the shelter. She has developed a healthy appetite and emotionally recovered from being abandoned. Judy finds that dogs like Callie are always eager to forgive.

Within two days of being rescued, Callie was up and walking on her own. She had a big smile on her face, showing she was happy to be alive. Her past is behind her and soon she will be up for adoption. She deserves the happy ending that we hope comes her way!

Adopted Dog Was Afraid Of Everything And One Night With His Brother Changed All

Hedgie had a rough start in life. His first owners tied him up outside as a puppy and never showed him affection. The poor dog was scared of everyone and everything when he was finally adopted and taken home by his new family. He just hid under the table.

 


Image Source Credit: Instagram

 

One night, Mason’s dog, Hedgie, wouldn’t stop barking. That’s when Mason decided to bring the dog up to his room for the night. The next morning, when Mason went downstairs, he was surprised by what he saw: Hedgie was a completely different dog! The two of them became inseparable friends who did everything together.

 


Image Source Credit: Instagram

 

But one day, Hedgie started having trouble walking and eating. He was taken to the vet where they diagnosed him with megaesophagus, but putting him down was not an option for this family. Instead, they would feed him in a special chair.

Aside from his disorder, the family knew the dog was healthy and had lots of life left to live.

One of the rescue workers scooped up the puppy and put him in his car. He drove to the Animal Aid sanctuary so he could receive medical care. The workers assessed him and found that an infection caused fluid to build up beneath his skin. This is why his little face was so swollen.

When the volunteers clean off his face, they realize that the reason for all this was just a tiny wound. This proves that infection can easily happen if an animal is not kept clean and under observation. But it’s okay now. The volunteers are going to make sure he recovers.

On Facebook, a dog walker inquired about what to do if he found a solitary dog in Prospect Park. People responded with ideas of what to do just a few minutes later.

 

To improve his image, Eric posted a photo of Mamas on a neighborhood Facebook group seeking assistance. And within minutes, responses began to pour in! One Good Samaritan requested that they be picked up outside the park and taken to Sean Casey Animal Rescue in a car. There was a kennel at the animal shelter.

Mamas and the baby girl were walking out of the park when Mamas could not walk at a normal speed. She was sluggish owing to her size and a possible bladder infection. She was taken in for transport back to return for medical treatment, where she eventually relaxed!

 

Mama must stay through the stray hold period, but after that she will be put up for adoption and given her forever home!

They discovered that the cries were coming from beneath a large dirt mound when they arrived on the scene and got closer. Something was buried!

The two men knelt down on their hands and knees to rescue the whimpering creature. They were astonished to find a tiny, helpless puppy trapped in the debris! Who could be behind such a cruel deed? The puppy was buried alive and left to perish, perhaps as some sort of vengeance or retribution. But why?

The puppy was buried six inches deep, shallow enough to reach him but with all that mud on such a little body, it would only be a matter of time before he suffocated. The cops were furious when they discovered the infant. They retrieved him and took him to the veterinarian.

The puppy’s eyes were sealed shut. He was frantic. He had no clue where he was or why he was taken from his mother for the love of god. They dubbed him “Tucker” after the veterinarian staff mistreated him in this manner. While they were enraged by how he had been treated, they were relieved that he would now be ok.

Tucker appeared to be in excellent health despite everything he had been through. He took to the bottle right away. One of the vet technicians fell in love with Tucker and resolved to adopt him.

There’s no word yet on whether the individual who committed this repulsive act was apprehended and punished, but the tale has a positive ending. Tucker was preserved in time, and now he enjoys a wonderful life with a family that will always adore and appreciate him.

Unfortunately, there are monsters among us. They hide because they are cowards. They do harm to innocent people and animals since their blood is different from ours. We are, however, more powerful. Their victims also have greater power than they had before.

Let Tucker’s story serve as a reminder that evil will never triumph over good.

Growling Pit Bull Wasn’t Allowed To Be Adopted, Dog-Lover Made It Her Mission

Sioux City, like other United States cities, had a strict ban on Pit Bulls. When Pits were discovered in city shelters, they were put in the back because they weren’t available for adoption. Angel was a Pit Bull with a bad reputation who had a nasty habit of displaying her teeth. She would also growl if people got too close to her.

Then a Karma rescue volunteer came to the shelter. She was brokenhearted when she learned Angel would be euthanized in a few days. Something had to be done. A behavioral specialist friend of hers came to meet Angel and took her out for a walk.

The volunteer wanted to save Angel. But the ban in the city made this impossible. She couldn’t adopt Angel herself and all the other rescues were at capacity with so many Pit Bulls. The rescuer took her out of the shelter and said she would spend some time with her and then take her to the vet to be put down. During this time she also sent one last text to Hug Hearts Foundation in Los Angeles.

She explained to the rescue group that Angel was being put down in a little over an hour and that’s when the person on the phone said, “We will take her!”

The Pit Bull was flown to Los Angeles. They trained and socialized her during the next few weeks. The Pit Bull ban in Sioux City was unexpectedly canceled! It appears that more and more cities are catching on, and learning, that it’s not the breed that matters but rather how those dogs are treated.

Woman Took-In Street Dog That Escaped Every Night, Eventually Followed Him

A kind lady in a poor village decided to take in a stray dog. Too many animals were afflicted with misery, and she was powerless to help them all. However, she could assist one deserving pet, so she did! The dog was gentle and loyal, and he quickly took to his new owner. He wasn’t used to living in a house.

But she observed that her dog went out at the same time every day and returned about two hours later. He was always exhausted from his trip and would get some rest during the day. The new mother of the dog thought this was strange, so she decided to follow him. She wanted to make sure he was all right.

This is when things got really interesting. The dog’s mother lingered back as he made his way through the village to greet this other lady. The canine was delighted to see him and set a bag down in front of him, which contained a homemade supper. The dog ate some of it, but then backed away.

Mom & Dad Panic As Dog Pounces On Baby In The Yard, Then They See Baby’s Foot

In their Tennessee home, Bryan and Alicia Holloway would frequently let their 18-month-old son, Bryson, play with their family dog in the yard. The Holloways were certain that their child was secure with Shiloh, their bright Australian Shepherd puppy.

When the parents discovered Shiloh lunging at Bryson while playing in the yard one day, they became concerned. For a second, the Holloways had their doubts about Shiloh’s intentions. But then they noticed a huge Copperhead snake slithering past their son’s foot! Shiloh didn’t seem to care about his own well being and lunged at the snake.

Shiloh quickly used his body to protect his brother from the snake, which then slithered into the yard. The serpent escaped the yard but the dog became quivering and fell to the ground. The parents understood that their brave dog had been bitten by a poisonous snake. They rushed Shiloh to the hospital, where he was given appropriate antibiotics that helped save his life.

Wooden Box Sat At Airport For Week, They Pry It Open & Unveil Something Wicked

An airport pickup box with numerous unfinished holes came without proper labeling. The workplace employees ignored the box and carried on with their tasks. Because it didn’t have the correct tags, it would be stowed among other items in the same condition. The container was roughly 16 inches tall and only said that it was to be delivered to Syria.

After a week of waiting in a holding room, the box was improperly labeled. Finally, legal confirmation was received that employees at the airport had the authority to open and examine the contents of the container. What they discovered nearly knocked them off their feet!

Three Siberian tigercats were packed inside the box. Nobody knew how they had survived for so long. However, all three of them clung to life despite the fact that they hadn’t eaten or drunk anything in a week! Animals Lebanon posted on Facebook, “Nothing indicated that the box contained tigers or even live animals, and there were no details of a shipper or receiver,” the animal rights group Animals Lebanon wrote on Facebook.

The three male kittens had been on a flight from Ukraine and were supposed to be sold to a zoo in Syria. Animals Lebanon demanded that the tigers be transferred to them. A court ruled in their favor. “Their paw pads were raw and red from being coated with urine, and they had fresh wounds on their back legs and thighs,”

The Siberian tigers were in desperate need of help. Endangered species are highly valued on the black market. People who seek to profit from their illicit transactions may not consider the animals’ wellbeing.

“They are improving – but they are still at risk! Big cats can be worth tens of thousands of dollars on the black market. The owner is fighting to get them back, and we are fighting for the tigers and rule of law,” Animals Lebanon explained on Facebook.

The zoo opposed the rescue group’s request to return the tigers. Thankfully, a judge once again ruled in favor of the recovery team, allowing all three tigers to remain with them. “Thank you for all of your hard work that made this possible. 

The tigers have thrived in their new environment. We’re thrilled they were discovered just as we needed them!

One dog, named Wasabi, was a recent victim to this hidden danger. His grandma, Patricia Polacco, posted this to Facebook:

 

“My Daughter Traci lost her dearest dog Wasabi to this…it was a pork rind bag. She had left to go pick up something at a friends, wasn’t even gone 10 minutes and her roommate called. He found her next to the front door with the bag still on her head. HAD SHE KNOWN……..it hadn’t even crossed her mind that something like this could happen. None of us knew!!!! Please spread the word. Chip bags, zip lock bags that had left over food in them, treat bags, yogurt containers, Especially the YoPlait, cut it all up!!!! Don’t leave them where pups and cats can get to them. Our hearts are still broken. Thank you.”

Another dog, named Menja, was also killed by a snack bag according to WUSA 9. Shira Reese, his mother, told the news station about the day she discovered her dog dead:

“I went downstairs and I found him unresponsive with a Goldfish bag around his neck,” Shira told WUSA 9. “At that point, he was stiff.”

A 3rd dog owner, Debbie Smith, also spoke about her worst day imaginable, “[He] was starting to swell and such. It was just unbearable. He was my life for 10 years. I wept like a baby for days and weeks.”

 

The four dogs were merely following natural instinct: hunger. Their insatiable appetite led to their deaths.

Every dog is vulnerable. It doesn’t matter how well-trained they are, or whether they’re big or little. People who own dogs would be shocked to learn that their beloved pets could perish in a death trap like this.

Advice to dog owners:

Keep all snack bags hidden. Another great idea is to invest in sealable containers that fit in your pantry. This will also keep food fresher longer and save you money over time. Please be careful. Their safety is at risk.
