At the Tiny Paws Rescue, hearts ached for a frightened blind and deaf senior dog left tied to a park bench in New Jersey with a heartbreaking note asking someone to “please take me and love me.”

According to the rescue organization’s director, Kim Astriner, they had received a phone call from a Good Samaritan who found the dog tied to a park bench, and alongside of her was a short pink piece of paper from her owner asking for someone to help the dog.

Upon arrival, Sheba was scared and spent hours huddled in a corner, unsure of her surroundings. With gentle patience, she’s starting to relax, enjoying her meals and even a much-needed bath. Though her fur was matted and her skin irritated, we could see how much better she felt afterward.

Sheba hasn’t had the best of care in her previous life, and little is known about her past. Her veterinary examination revealed her coat was matted, she has severe dental disease and also suffers from an underactive thyroid. She has since been prescribed medication. She is loving her new foster home. She is deaf and has very limited vision.

It is unknown why her previous owner abandoned her; it is against the law to abandon pets.

Sheba is exploring her new home and making friends with other dogs. While she’s still hesitant about being picked up, she’s open to soft pets and may become more comfortable with handling as she gains confidence.

Scary: Family dog fends off pack of coyotes in backyard

It’s a scary time in Cohasset, Massachusetts for dogs and all pets who enjoy some time in the backyard. All pet owners are being warned not to leave their canine pals outdoors for any length of time because coyote sightings have become more prevalent and pose a major safety hazard in recent months.

According to Live95.9News, it had been Saturday night when the family dog had been outside and fending off three coyotes. The dog was able to scare the coyotes away, and this family and dog were lucky. What about smaller dogs or someone’s cat outdoors for some fresh air as Spring weather approaches? Not many domestic pets could fend off a pack of coyotes.

There have been a number of complaints in the area about coyote attacks. Wildlife officials have explained that coyotes do not know the difference between a medium sized domestic dog and another coyote, and that makes the coyotes even more aggressive.

Coyotes roam all over the state, and it can’t be emphasized enough to follow these suggestions:

Make sure your dogs are leashed and supervised at all times
Do not leave any food sources around. Keep grills clean, store garbage cans in the garage.
If you see a coyote near you, make loud noises, throw small objects at them and make yourself appear larger.
Always keep yourself between the coyote and small children.

Sweet but skinny: RSPCA cares for neglected Roxy found curled up in homeowner’s driveway

A lucky turn of events led to the rescue of a three-year-old Dogue de Bordeaux cross named Roxy in Boxted, Essex. On April 21st, a resident, Emma Fowler, discovered Roxy huddled and frightened behind a bush on her driveway.

The Good Samaritan had been shocked to find the dog curled up in a sunny spot on the driveway, and when she approached the dog, once Roxy realized Emma was there to help her, seemed genuinely relieved. Concerned for her health, Emma took the dog to an emergency veterinarian who then contacted the RSPCA.

She was wary at first, but as soon as she realized we were there to help, she warmed right up.
Emma

According to RSPCA Inspector Nicky Thorne, Roxy was “painfully thin.” It was apparent the dog had been neglected for a long period of time; Roxy only weighed 64 pounds, and a dog of her breed should weigh between 99 to 120 pounds.

The RSPCA is now caring for Roxy and is conducting an investigation to find her previous owners. Roxy is microchipped, but leads so far have gone cold. “We’d love to hear from anyone who recognizes Roxy or who may know something about her recent past,” said Inspector Thorne. Her latest record indicated she had been rehomed in September 2023.

Roxy’s story is a stark reminder of the importance of responsible pet ownership. The RSPCA urges anyone considering getting a pet to carefully research the needs of the breed and ensure they can commit to providing a lifetime of love and care.

Happy Ending Wanted

Roxy is receiving the medical attention and TLC she desperately needs at the RSPCA. While the investigation continues, RSPCA staff are hopeful that Roxy will find a loving forever home where she can thrive.

If you have any information about Roxy’s past or are interested in adopting a dog, please contact the RSPCA at 0300 123 8018.

Death row rescued Chihuahua who travels the world with his owner stalked by an alligator in Florida

A Chihuahua mix named Jonathan, probably has as many lives as a cat, and now he can add surviving an alligator who tried to eat him for a little snack.

About ten years ago, Jonathan was rescued by Amanda Klecker, 37, who travels the world with her little buddy. He lived in a shelter cage, rarely was taken out for walks because of overcrowding and had been scheduled for humane euthanasia because no one had adopted him; that is until Amanda spotted him.

That was then, and this is now. A recent trip to Florida, however brought an unexpected ordeal – one that soon will not be forgotten by either Amanda or Jonathan, after the two had been on a walk and on their way home were stalked by an alligator.

World’s Most Well-Traveled Rescue Dog …still lives with his mom NYC

TikTok

Jonathan has been one lucky pup; he travels the world, lives in New York and enjoys sharing his global adventures with everyone. His TikTok account shows and describes his adventures with his mom.

Jonathan is the world’s most well-traveled rescue dog, and a beautiful real life underdog- my intention in sharing his story is to eliminate negative stigma around shelter animals and show that no matter where you came from, you can create an amazing life for yourself.
Amanda

On this particular trip, Amanda and Jonathan had been in Orlando at her grandmother’s home in a golfing community when the two went on a stroll in the perfect Florida weather. The golf course had been under renovations, and the ponds were either drained or very low, which may have caused the unexpected gator’s appearance.

Amanda had just been crossing the street when a neighbor yelled out to her there was an alligator lying underneath Amanda’s rental vehicle parked in front of her grandmother’s home. Amanda immediately picked up Jonathan, but here’s where it gets a bit weird and of course, scary – the alligator followed the two to the house!

Super mommy rushed in, slammed the door, and that crazy gator walked around the house again before deciding to find another victim.

Check this out on TikTok:

In the video, you can see the gator creeping up behind them. Watch Jonathan watching the gator through the window once safely back in the house giving a bit of a sideway glance.

We all know here at Pet Rescue Report that the bond between a pet and their human is truly special. But Pancakes, a goofy and lovable Golden Retriever, recently took that special bond to a whole new level!

Earlier this month a dog, named Pancakes attended his owners’ wedding in Liverpool, England. Not only did he attend, but he was the ringbearer. What a sight to watch Pancake running down the aisle after the priest officiating at the ceremony at the top of the steps, asked who had the rings?

And there came Pancakes; dressed in a black doggy tuxedo running down the aisle, amid cheers and laugher and taking in those “good boys” he heard from what seemed like from everyone! He ran up the stairs and greeted the bride and groom at the altar.

The bride bent down and removed the rings from Pancake’s jacket, and there was one happy puppy glad to have accommodated his humans.

Take a moment to watch the video. It will make your heart smile.

Meet Lindsay; another beautiful German Shepherd #A1788397 who entered the San Jacinto Valley Animal Shelter as a stray on March 27, 2024. The shelter has estimated her age as a two-year-old German Shepherd. No weight is given. No one came looking for Lindsay so now she’s looking for a new forever home. Can that be you? She is very friendly and well mannered. She really needs a family to love her. This shelter is full, and they are euthanizing for space.

Check out her brief video:

https://www.facebook.com/reel/418559174132585

According to shelter notes, Lindsay has been overlooked for 27 days and has been cleared for euthanasia because of signs of kennel stress. She had been sharing her kennel with another dog, and the two were friends, but that dog has since been removed. A long term foster offer and pledges to help these dogs given to an approved rescue organization have been the best ways to help if a home can not be found immediately.

Lindsay’s plight is extremely urgent, and the San Jacinto shelter gets very little adoption traffic because of its rather remote location.

Malia has only recently taken up sewing. For Christmas, she received a gift certificate for sewing lessons, which when inspired with her love for animals and how sad it is to see them at the shelter, she thought doing something cheerful might help them find homes. She also pours her heart into her project in honor of her dog who recently died at the age of 15.

Inspired by a DIY project, Malia started creating adorable bandanas in a variety of patterns and sizes. From playful polka dots to paw-some prints, each bandana adds a touch of personality to the shelter animals. But Malia’s creations go beyond just being cute.

Malia has now started her own business. According to her Facebook page, “Sew Creative by Malia” will continue to help more animals get adopted, plus how cute would your dog or cat look in one of this young sewing artist’s creations.

Malia dedication and creativity are a shining example of how even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. With every stitch, she’s not just sewing bandanas; she’s sewing hope for a brighter future for countless shelter animals.

Dog adopted three times and returned to shelter now hoping fourth time is a charm

At the Valley Animal Center in Fresno, California, Eros has a story to tell, and as heartbreaking as it was numerous times, being a resilient pup proves try, trying again, brings a happy ending.

Eros arrived at the shelter after he had been found at a homeless camp when his owner had been arrested. Now get this – Eros had been adopted three times since, but each time his new families didn’t work out, and back he went to the shelter. In one adoption, the family said Eros had too much energy. In the second home, another dog had already claimed his kingdom as his own, and no matter how hard Eros tried, the other dog wouldn’t accept him as a family member.

Eros:

And then the third adoption attempt really broke his heart. That morning Eros was so excited to be going to his new home, but by the end of the day, after he had been returned again, he was back in his kennel “through no fault of his own.”

Shelter staff have continued to do everything possible to keep Eros calm. As the shelter stress got to him, he could be seen panting and spinning in circles and jumping from wall to wall.

Wishes do come true! Just recently Eros was adopted, and this fourth time is a charm. His new family understands him and what this sweet boy has been through. And this time – he has a new buddy in the house who loves him already.

This successful adoption serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible pet placement and the transformative power of opening your heart and home to a shelter animal. Valley Animal Center extends their deepest gratitude to the adopter who chose Eros and to everyone who shared his story.

Eros’ adoption journey may be over, but countless other animals await their turn at finding loving families. Valley Animal Center encourages the community to continue supporting their mission and consider adopting a pet in need. Remember, every adoption makes a difference!

Abandoned puppy found tied up in sack left to die

A helpless puppy is safe today after being discovered abandoned and tied up in a sack in Hamilton, Ohio. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday at L.J. Smith Park, has sparked outrage in the community and renewed calls for responsible pet ownership.

According to reports, a park worker spotted a suspicious sack. Upon investigation, he discovered a young puppy whimpering inside. The concerned person immediately contacted animal control, who arrived on the scene and brought the puppy to Animal Friends Humane Society.

It is not known how long the puppy had been tied up in the sack; he had no water or food available. It was obvious whoever abandoned him like this left him to die.

We have been referring to the puppy as Ryder. Even though he was allegedly dumped in the park, we still legally have to abide by the three day stray hold. This means he remains in the facility for three days and can not be adopted out or sent to rescue. After the three days, he is property of the shelter and can be adopted.
Animal Friends Humane Society

The puppy, estimated to be around two to three months of age and is currently undergoing a medical evaluation at Yesterday on intake, he was not acting like a normal puppy. He was lethargic and weak. While his condition could be accounted for his traumatic experience, they also had to rule out sicknesses. He tested negative for parvo and was vaccinated and dewormed. He has been resting and regaining his strength and stability.

today, Ryder was alert, curious, and ready to eat! We appreciate everyone’s support for the little guy already and we hope to update with every step of Ryder’s journey.

Animal Friends Humane Society

There is an active investigation to find whoever committed this crime to this poor innocent creature. If you have any tips, please contact Deputy Dog Warden Burkett at 513-887-7297 ext 3. You may remain anonymous.

If you would like to donate to the care of all animals, including Ryder, at Animal Friends, please click here.

Animal abandonment is a crime, and we will do everything in our power to find the person responsible for this act of cruelty.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of responsible pet ownership. The Animal Friends Humane Society encourages anyone considering bringing a pet into their home to carefully research the commitment involved and ensure they can provide a loving and permanent home for their furry friend.

Colorado wildlife officers rescue mountain lions with daring rope maneuver

In a heart-stopping turn of events, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) officers became unexpected heroes to two young mountain lions. The dramatic rescue unfolded last Friday near Durango, Colorado, at the Vallecito Reservoir spillway.

Quick thinking by a dam tender, Mike Canterbury, prevented a potential tragedy. As he prepared to release water down the spillway, he spotted two mountain lion cubs precariously trapped inside. Realizing the rushing water could drown the young cats, Canterbury immediately contacted CPW.

District Wildlife Manager Ty Smith arrived on the scene and prioritized a non-invasive approach. In a daring move, Officer Smith dangled a rope into the spillway, hoping the curious cubs would use it to climb to safety. His gamble paid off! One adventurous cub readily grasped the rope and was hoisted back up, quickly disappearing into the nearby woods.

The second cub, however, proved more hesitant. Undeterred, Officer Smith bravely climbed down into the spillway himself. With patience and a strategically placed catch pole, he managed to coax the cub towards the rope. Working together, the CPW team successfully lifted the cub over the concrete wall and released it back into the wild. Though initially seeking a brief moment under a nearby truck, the second cub eventually followed its sibling back into the wild.

A release of water likely would have drowned the two lions,

Spreading Awareness: Mountain lion cubs are naturally curious and can sometimes wander into unfamiliar territory. If you encounter a mountain lion, it’s crucial to stay calm and make yourself appear large. Slowly back away, allowing the animal an escape route. Report any sightings of mountain lions in populated areas to your local wildlife agency.
