When a sick horse had to be rushed to a large animal veterinary hospital in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India last week, the horse’s bonded sibling became very distressed to have been separated. Watching her sick sister being loaded into the ambulance, Agaka couldn’t bear being kept apart, and ran nearly five miles behind the ambulance without stopping.

Following the posting of the viral video, hundreds of comments have confirmed that humans are not the only ones to show incredible emotions and ties with each other.

At the beginning of the video, a horse lying down and apparently in dire need of veterinary care is shown in the barn. Shortly after, Agaka is seen running after the ambulance and weaving through traffic as cars and motorbikes swerve to avoid hitting the horse. Where there have been hundreds of comments about Agaka’s dangerous journey as she followed the ambulance, the lack of supervision and her owners not coming to her rescue, as well as the dangers to both the horse and humans alike, most of the comments concentrated on Agaka’s loyalty to her sister.

The good news – Agaka found her sister at the veterinary hospital and calmed down.

We do not know if her sister survived.

Two dogs rescued from abandoned apartment only had hours left to live

Amilia and Scrappy were found trapped in their kennels inside of an abandoned apartment on Des Moines’ south side. No food or water had been left for the dogs, and no one knows how long they had been suffering.

According to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, as soon as the dogs were discovered, animal rescue officers rushed to the location and immediately transported the dogs to the organization’s emergency veterinarian team ready to administer life-saving treatment. The two large breed dogs were little more than skin and bones; barely weighing in at 22 pounds each.

Amilia was the most serious case. Not only was she emaciated, but she also showed signs of respiratory distress and shock. She was barely able to stand and too weak to walk. Radiographs showed no signs of any obstructions in her stomach; she had been nearly starved to death and abandoned – no food or water, and her body had been slowly and painfully wasting away. Amilia likely would have died within hours had she not been rescued.

Our veterinarians said she would have died within hours if she had not been rescued. Even once she was in our care we weren’t sure she would survive.
We knew we had to rehydrate her as carefully and quickly as possible, so we started IV fluids and monitored her condition closely. In the first day in our care she gained 9 pounds — just from rehydration.
Facebook Animal Rescue League of Iowa

Both dogs are now on a special diet program to help them slowly regain weight safely. Dogs with severe emaciation must be fed very carefully.

Raevon Teel, 20, of Des Moines has been arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated animal neglect in this case.

Updates to follow.

A donation to Animal Rescue League’s Miracle Medical Fund will provide lifesaving care and rehabilitation for Amilia and Scrappy and other survivors of animal cruelty. They didn’t ask for this to happen to them, but with your help, they can not only put them on the road to recovery but make sure they will know love from now on.

Sadness and anger follow heartbreaking discovery of dead dog abandoned in crate

Rescuers in Las Vegas, Nevada, have expressed sadness and anger following the heartbreaking discovery of a dead dog who was recently abandoned in a metal crate. As reported by KTNV News, the female Shar-Pei appeared to have been starved and neglected before being discarded alongside a road in an area where trash is dumped.

This week, the Vegas Pet Rescue Project lashed out at backyard breeders, who are believed to be behind the dog dumping:

Please help us stop backyard breeders selling puppies online and animal abusers. Share so we can find the people who did this to the baby. AND STOP BUYING YOUR PUPPIES ONLINE!!! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MOTHERS.

The local animal control agency confirmed that the dead dog had produced at least one litter of puppies before dying and being abandoned. Animal welfare agencies in the area are disgusted that unwanted pets are starved and abandoned, rather than being surrendered to shelters or rescue agencies.

The local authorities are investigating this cruelty case to see who is responsible.

Success! Broken and starving bobcat captured

Weeks ago, a California wildlife rescue agency was told that there was an injured bobcat in the Truckee area. By nature, bobcats are elusive, so finding and helping the feline proved to be difficult. But finally, the cat’s exhaustion led him to a woman’s barn and she reached out to Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care for help.

The agency said:

“we got a call from a woman who had found the Bobcat in her barn. He was so thin, with no energy and therefore was easily rescued.”

An exam revealed that the cat had a broken leg, a healing pelvis injury, and he was emaciated, weighing in at just over 10 pounds rather than a healthy weight of 30 to 45 pounds. The bobcat was in need of emergency surgery and a veterinary team was put together to assist. The wildlife organization thanked the doctors involved:

Dr. Kidd along with Dr. Sheets, Eliza & Kassie (LTWC animal care techs) preformed a successful surgery!
We are thrilled that the surgery was successful and are optimistic about the road ahead but we understand it’s going to be a long one.

Now, the rescuers need to find a way to keep the bobcat quiet and calm for the next 10 weeks – a daunting task. But he is a survivor and has a team of compassionate rescuers eager to help.

The agency said:

He is a fighter! Even with major leg injuries and being extremely under weight this guy keeps fighting to survive! He won’t give up and neither will we!
Don’t worry buddy little do you know but you have an amazing group of wildlife heroes cheering you on!

Puppies abandoned on side of road in Guam now at Kitsap Humane Society waiting for loving homes

Alissa and Blaire are sisters and have made quite the journey in search of their loving homes. The two 10-week-old puppies were found abandoned on the side of the road in Guam with their siblings. These two pups came to the Kitsap Humane Society in Washington through the organization’s transfer program.

Boonie Flight Project and the transfer team have provided the opportunities for these two exciting new beginnings. The puppies have two completely different personalities. Alissa is the smallest of the two but has the biggest personality and a passion for playtime. Blaire is a puppy who loves to snuggle and is a laid-back youngster.

The puppies would do best if adopted separately according to the Kitsap Humane Society:

Kitsap Humane Society It is generally our practice to not adopt puppy littermates together due to exactly what you’ve shared! Several types of behaviors, including overattachment to littermate, fear, anxiety, aggression, etc.- generally called littermate syndrome, can be detrimental to a puppy’s development. We want to ensure every pet’s success in their future homes. We hope this helps!
Adopting puppies together can cause a lot of behavioral issues because of littermate syndrome. A lot of people don’t know about littermate syndrome but it is a real problem and why most ethical breeders and rescues strongly suggest against getting a new puppy until your current dog is already an adult.

Dog trapped underground in badger’s sett for nearly 3 days rescued

In Coalville, Leicestershire, United Kingdom, a dog trapped underground in a badger’s sett for nearly three days was rescued on Tuesday with the combined help of the RSPCA and firefighters.

According to LeicestershireLiveNews, rescuers were called to the scene after the worried dog owner called for help trying to rescue his dog. The dog had crawled into the sett and became stuck in the mud for 60 hours when the fire and rescue crew from Leicestershire arrived. RSPCA officials had already been on scene and placed the dog’s exact underground location by his distressed barking.

Rescue crews used listening and specialty locating devices to further aid them so they would know where to dig. It took nearly five hours to save the pooch who was reunited with his owner and taken to the rescue organization for veterinarian care.

The badger was not located.

Many thanks to everyone who helped save this pup’s life.

Two people in Omaha, Nebraska, are facing felony animal cruelty charges after a gruesome discovery was made at their residence. As reported by KETV News, Omaha police discovered numerous animals who were “living in poor conditions and in various stages of neglect” at a home near N. 45th Street and Burdette streets. The couple tied to the neglectful/abusive situation are identified as Tramaine Thomas, 35, and Sierra Lang, 30.

An officer had been called out to the residence to investigate a domestic disturbance. While there, the officer discovered animal feces throughout the home and numerous animals who were clearly neglected

After securing a search warrant, investigators with the Nebraska Humane Society found 40 dead animals at the residence, in addition to 88 animals who were alive, but in poor condition. A pot-bellied pig was in the worst health, with sunken eyes, overgrown hooves, and prominent bones; the pig had to be humanely euthanized.

Investigators found cages and a chest freezer containing “mostly decomposed” remains. The deplorable situation has resulted in 32 misdemeanor charges, in addition to the felony animal abuse charge.

Heartbreaking update for Houston pup too weak to move away from puddle of water

Photos of a dog too weak to move away from a puddle of water and needing to use her front leg to prop herself up enough to keep her nose out of the water went viral on Tuesday morning. No one was quite sure exactly where the dog was located – her photos were haunting, and for hours rescuers tried to find the location of the dog they later named Leah, in order to save her life.

For hours, Leah waited in one spot, and it was a Good Samaritan and a team of rescuers from ThisIsHouston who were close by and were able to pick her up.

Leah was rushed to Blue Pearl Emergency Veterinary Services where she made it through the night, but not without major physical challenges. She had been diagnosed with Caval Syndrome because of severe heartworm disease accompanied by anemia and high levels of bilirubin. Her echocardiogram showed the enormous load of heartworms, and it was suspected the heartworms could have made their way into her brain.

Leah was rushed to Texas A&M Small Animal Hospital and earlier today headed into surgery where she coded soon after the procedure began. Because of her neurological status it was decided to change her code/CPR to red meaning DNR. Surgeons tried to remove heartworms but her heart stopped beating and tragically, the damage had already been done.

This poor pup essentially made her own decision, although she put up a good fight. And another human failure – and the prevention against heartworms is so easily done!

A&M will be doing a necropsy and wanted to submit a sample for rabies testing as well. The necropsy will help them – and us – understand how she got this way, what was causing her symptoms and may possibly help other dogs in the future…

Rest in peace Leah. We are heartbroken humans failed you.

Police in Clio, Michigan, want to know who left a dog tied up to a pole in the snow. On Tuesday, the Clio Police Department posted photos of the dog, writing:

This good boy was left tied up to the street sign at the southeast corner of New St. / Smith St. between 2 AM and 7 AM today.

A good Samaritan, concerned for the dog’s welfare, called the police, who then called Genesee County Animal Control for help. According to the authorities, the abandoned dog has “the sweetest personality.”

Chief Millstead has reached out with the hope that someone will recognize who the dog belongs to:

If anyone knows where he belongs, or how he came to be left where he was at, please call either our department or Animal Control.
If no information is developed, GCAC will place a hold on him pending medical and temperament evaluation, and if he is cleared, he would then be neutered and put up for adoption.
Any help on this good boy’s behalf would be greatly appreciated.
