"So I’m driving down the road this morning and the cars in front of me are driving over a black thing in the road. It’s going between their tires so I’m guessing it’s a box. It’s a kitten just sitting upright shaking like a leaf. And some idio* had spread glue on its paws and stuck it to the road. I thought maybe it walked through glue somewhere but after looking at it, that was totally spread into her paws. She was wet and freezing and literally glued to the road. And NO ONE STOPPED. What the f$&k people??? I slammed on my brakes and stopped all the traffic and put my hazards on and got out and pealed her off the road. People were honking and all pissy....really??? It’s a kitten glued to the road!! So after a goo gone bath and some food and cream we have a new kitten. Luckiest kitten in the world!"

Look at how that kitten is looking at her new human. She knows what he did. As she's still so young, the conscious memory will hopefully fade, but when she's 23 and hobbling about on her walker, she's still going to remember that he's the best human in the world.

Some guy slammed on his breaks in front of us and we were pissed, for about 10 seconds. He got out to move a turtle from the road to the side. We no longer were annoyed, we were pleased that a young man had taken the time to do a thing like that.

"This kind woman walked into our shelter and asked who the oldest, hardest to adopt dog was. So we introduced her to Jake.
All I can say is God Bless this woman. Jake has been with us for a long time, is a senior, and has cancer in addition to skin problems. He was getting passed up time and time again.
But Melani came to the shelter not just to find a great dog, but to save a life and give unconditional love to a dog in need. As you can see, it's a match made in heaven. Please help us thank Melani. People like her are our heroes."

“The inspector handed her over to me and she put her little head on my shoulder and put her front paw on my chest. I named her Cindy. They say animals can't speak but that day she told me she was so grateful that we saved her, and that she was going to fight her way back to a healthy life,” says Clare Travers during our interview. She’s seen a lot in her 14 years working at an animal shelter, but this is one of the memories seared in her heart and mind.

“It was two months ago,” she goes on to tell Bored Panda. “A member of the public called us about a puppy that was living on a rubbish dump. Our inspector went out and collected her, and brought her back to the kennels. She was around 3 months old and had been on the dump from about 6 weeks of age, withstanding the elements and struggling to survive. She was in horrific condition and severely neglected and emaciated. One of her legs was only half a leg and terribly infected. She was so sad and depressed on arrival.”

Travers dedicates her days to saving abandoned, abused, neglected and surrendered dogs. She still thinks of all the dogs she helped, including Cindy. “Our medical staff took a look at her and suggested euthanasia, because of the bad shape that she was in. But Cindy and I had made a pact - I would do everything I could to restore her health and find her a loving home, and she would be very brave and fight for her health.”

Thankfully, Cindy’s story had a happy ending. “With the help of the public we raised enough money to cover all her medical costs as well as her leg amputation,” Travers told us. “A foster home came forward, her adoption fee was sponsored, and as soon as she was ready for adoption the most wonderful family came forward to adopt her and give her a loving home. It wasn't easy for Cindy and she went through a lot but we both kept our promises to each other. Today she is living her best life and in the most beautiful family home.”

It’s stories like those that keep Clare going. Many times, her work is heartbreaking. “Every single day, there is sadness. There are dogs arriving that are so ill because the people have not done anything to help their sick animals and come to our shelter for help when it is too late,” she told us.

“Many animals suffer and don't get the help that they need. Many dogs are brought to our shelter for medical treatment. It's very hard to see their owners and how they are treated, because often you can tell that the dogs don't belong in a good home but there's nothing you can do about it. It's also incredibly sad when stray animals are picked up on the streets and they are in the most neglected and sad condition and you think about the tough life they have lived.”

It takes a special kind of person to be able to work in this kind of environment. Being an animal lover is not enough. Travers says for her, it’s a passion. Not a job. She’s been at Animal Welfare Helderberg in South Africa since 2010. “You never know what the day is going to hold,” she told Bored Panda.

“My average day would involve taking in strays, taking in surrenders, dealing with adoptions, doing home checks, making sure all the kennel animals are healthy, assisting the public that are coming to view the animals, taking dogs into theater for sterilization and other operations, getting all vaccinations and deworming up to date. Lots of admin work.” Travers is a Jill of all trades, doing a little bit of a lot every single day. All in the name of dogs.

“Getting any ill dogs checked out by the vet, networking, advertising and posting animals on our social media pages, dealing with a huge amount of phone calls, emails and WhatsApps from the public that need help with rehoming their dogs or helping their sick animals, and the list goes on,” she explained.

Despite his small size compared to the attacking dogs, George bravely defended the children by barking and charging at the pit bulls to shield them. His courageous actions resulted in severe injuries, leading a veterinarian to put him down due to the severity of the mauling. George's heroism did not go unrecognized. The New Zealand Society for the Protection of Animals honored him with a bravery medal, and he was also awarded the PDSA Gold Medal by the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals. This medal is considered the animal counterpart to the George Cross, underscoring George's exceptional bravery. Additionally, a monument was erected in his honor.

After the loss of his parents, Roscoe, a 3-year-old orangutan, became so depressed that he refused to eat and didn't respond to medical treatments. The vets feared he might die of sadness.

Meanwhile, the zookeepers discovered an old, sick dog wandering the zoo grounds where Roscoe resided and brought him to the animal treatment center. Coincidentally, the dog arrived just as Roscoe was receiving care.

From the moment they met, the two forlorn creatures became inseparable companions. Roscoe found a newfound purpose in life, and both strive to be the best of friends to each other.

They spend all their time together, enjoying various activities in Northern California, where swimming is a particular favorite. Although Roscoe is somewhat afraid of the water, his canine friend helps him overcome his fears. Together, they have rediscovered the joy and laughter in life, cherishing the value of their friendship.

Her work is taxing but Travers says she wouldn’t change it for the world. “I love everything about my job but there are two things that are particularly wonderful. Firstly, it's when our kennel dogs are adopted and find loving homes. There's nothing more beautiful than watching an orphaned shelter dog go home with a loving family, and you know they are going to be so happy and spoiled,” she said, beaming from the inside out.

“The second thing that I find very rewarding is when abused dogs arrive at the kennels that are petrified of the human race and after a few days of working gently with them they transform into happy, loving and confident dogs. It's incredibly rewarding to see that transformation.” It's why Travers finds it hard to part with the dogs that do get adopted.

My husband and his colleague were traveling on a remote road in South Australia. About thirty kilometers from the nearest town, they encountered a dog walking along the roadside in the darkness.
The dog was old and visibly exhausted, but he gladly hopped into their work vehicle. The men decided to turn around and head back to Coober Pedy. Upon arriving, they found the local Police Station closed. Turning to Facebook, they came across a post about a missing dog and contacted the owner. It turned out that the 13-year-old dog had been missing for six days, and the owner had nearly lost hope.
The men reunited Max with his owner before heading back out on their journey.

Travers bonds with each and every dog that comes through the shelter doors. "I grow to love the dogs so much and they're so special to me. They're all so unique. I spend so much time with them and give so much of myself to them. I love them almost like they're my own," she told us.

Her aim is to find forever homes for all the dogs. But she says it's bittersweet each time an adoption happens. "It's so wonderful to see them go off to loving homes. It's really beautiful. But when they get adopted, it's so hard to see them go and to say goodbye. Knowing that you've invested so much of yourself into the dog and the dog just gets taken away, it's a very hard thing to deal with. It's really hard to let go," said Travers and we could hear the sadness in her voice.

“I was driving up 75, and saw the trooper in the turnout... checked my speed, oh I'm good. A few minutes later, I see a dog in the ditch by one of the signs for exit 20. She looked bad. I was in the left lane, heading to an appointment, and was torn. I decided I would go back southbound and risk a ticket by going to the turnout. I turned in and the trooper was still there! Yay! He rolled down his window and said "Yep! I'm here" to which I told him about the dog and I didn't want a ticket, but if I could help that dog, it was fine by me. He just asked where the dog was and was on his way! I followed and we found her, still there, panting like she was fixing to die. That trooper dumped his jug out and fashioned a water bowl for her. Then poured a couple of bottles of water. The dog was scared of him, but frozen in weakness. She sniffed the water, then realized this kindness was for her! She drank that water down in minutes! The trooper went and got her some more, plus a Little Debbie. She watched him warily the whole time. She sniffed his hand but was still wary. Next thing, he goes to his vehicle and gets a chair and an umbrella. He told me he would stay here until she trusts him, so he can get her to a shelter, or take her home. I believe his being there at the right time, was one of those little messages reminding us of the good in our world. Meet Trooper Tudors of the TN State Highway Patrol. One of the good guys for sure..’

She has a message to anyone considering adopting a dog, or any pet for that matter. “Make sure you have all the resources you need and that you are fully prepared for the addition of a furry friend. Dogs need good quality food, a safe home environment, training, attention, exercise, medical treatment, stimulation and companionship. Adopting a dog is a commitment that you make for 10 to 18 years.”

But it goes a little deeper. For dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, and other animals alike. “If you are adopting a specific breed, make sure you understand this breed and have researched their temperament, character and personality," explained Travers. "Make sure that they are suited to your life. For example, a border collie is very well suited to an active person with a large spacious home or a farm.”

Disabled animals can absolutely enjoy well-being and quality of life, and they deserve forever families! I've never regretted adopting a blind animal; it was the best gift ever.

Travers advises going to the shelter and spending time with the animal to see its personality and if the two of you bond. “There must be a connection,” she said. “Adoption is such an easy and beautiful way to get a pet. Not only are you providing a home to an orphaned dog but rescue dogs are the most loving, faithful and devoted companions.”

Travers has two adopted dogs of her own. So she knows what she’s talking about when she says the rescues are among the most loving and loyal. But this woman doesn’t discriminate. To her, all animals are amazing. “Animals cannot speak for themselves, yet they are unconditionally loving and so loyal and devoted to their owner,” she told us. “They have such a positive effect on our life and it's a known fact that our bodies release a lot of endorphins in their presence- the hormones that make us feel good and lift our mood.”

Kabang: The Hero Who Taught Us the True Meaning of Love and Sacrifice ❤️
In the heart of Zamboanga City, Philippines, a humble dog named Kabang captured the world’s attention with a single, selfless act that would define her life and legacy forever.
One fateful day in 2011, Kabang saw two young girls—her family’s children—crossing the street, unaware of the speeding motorcycle heading straight toward them. Without a moment’s hesitation, Kabang leaped into the path of the oncoming vehicle, saving the girls from what could have been a fatal accident. Her brave act cost her dearly; Kabang sustained severe injuries, losing part of her snout and jaw in the process.
But what Kabang lost physically, she more than made up for in spirit. Her story spread far beyond the Philippines, touching hearts around the globe. People from all walks of life came together to support her recovery, raising funds to send her to the United States for the specialized surgeries she needed. Kabang became a symbol of unconditional love, bravery, and the deep bond that can exist between humans and animals.
Kabang lived the rest of her days surrounded by the love of those who admired her courage. On May 17, 2021, at the age of 13, she peacefully passed away in her sleep, leaving behind a legacy that would inspire generations to come. In July 2021, she was laid to rest near a statue of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, a fitting tribute to a dog whose spirit embodied the very essence of compassion.
In recognition of her extraordinary bravery, a statue was unveiled in Kabang’s honor in Pasonanca Park, Zamboanga City, on August 13, 2021. The statue stands as a permanent reminder of the little dog with a huge heart, who taught the world about the power of love and sacrifice.
Kabang may be gone, but her story will live on forever in our hearts.

The only hope was to get life-saving medicine across 1,120 miles (1,800 kilometers) of frozen wilderness in just five days. It was a race against time through some of the most extreme and dangerous conditions imaginable. Togo, a brave sled dog, took on the hardest part of the journey, covering an incredible 260 miles (418 kilometers). This is the inspiring story of a real-life hero who defied the odds to save an entire town.

These feral cats were all over her, rubbing against her and even climbing onto her beat-up old Ford to sit on its warm engine hood. The selflessness of some people is truly heartwarming, especially in our "me-first" society.

When I was a kid I read a picture book about an old lady who always feeds the local stray cats. But then she's forced to go to a retirement home. One night she sneaks out and goes back to her house but can't get inside and it's the middle of winter. But before she can freeze to death, her friends the cats come back and next morning she's peacefully asleep in her purry friend blanket.

Saying goodbye at the shelter was bittersweet. But as Bandit settled into his new home, his joy was contagious. He explored every corner, his wheels whirring happily.

In the midst of chaos on Interstate 24, a true act of loyalty and compassion emerged. Meet Lucky, the courageous dog who refused to leave his injured owner's side during a devastating accident.

When an RV overturned, emergency workers, including firefighters, police officers, and even an air crew, rushed to the scene. Amidst the shouts and sirens, Lucky stayed with his trapped owner, providing comfort and companionship. His unwavering presence allowed his owner to find solace, even in the direst moments.

Bill Compton, the fire chief of the Kuttawa Volunteer Fire Department, witnessed this incredible bond firsthand. "Lucky being there helped the victim keep his mind off things," he said. "He'd pet the dog, talk to the dog."

After the passengers were safely rescued and airlifted to the hospital, Chief Compton carried Lucky away from the noise and activity, calming him down. They took a quiet moment together by the roadside, a poignant reminder of the power of love and loyalty.

I can not imagine literally throwing a dog away because they got old. My senior pup, 16 years 4 months, and 9 days (I've had him since he was born), spends his life sleeping. Yes, there are more oopes, yes, sometimes we need to carry him outside, sometimes he gets "lost" or "stuck" because he is blind and deaf and has forgotten he can back up. Caring for him means we stay close to home, all travel on hold. But as long as he doesn't seem to be in pain, he will remain being cared for in the only home he has ever known.

Willie Nelson Rescued 70 Horses From a Slaughterhouse and Let Them Roam Free on His Ranch
Willie Nelson, the renowned musician has another reason to be loved, he is also a devoted horse lover. In fact, he went to great lengths to rescue 70 horses from being slaughtered. These fortunate horses now roam freely on his expnsive 700-acre ranch in Texas.
When he's not on tour, Nelson spends most of his time at Luck Ranch, which he considers his true home. The name "Luck" holds a special meaning for him in more ways than one. In an interview with Paul Venema from KSAT 12 News, Nelson expressed, "When you're here, you're in Luck, and when you're not, you're out of Luck."
Undoubtedly, the horses are incredibly fortunate, and Nelson agrees. He shared with Venema, "My horses are probably the luckiest horses in the world. They get hand-fed twice a day, and they were just ready to go to slaughter, which is probably the last thing they remembered. So, they're happy horses."
Nelson has always had a deep affection for horses. His song "Ride Me Back Home" is a testament to his love for these majestic creaturs. In 2015, Nelson even received an award for the music video of his song "The Love of Horses." The video showcases Nelson meeting with members of Habtats for Horses, who were actively working to end horse slaughter through legislative efforts.
The love for horses runs in the family as well. Nelson's son, Lukas, supports organizations like Saving America's Horses and Habitat for Horses. Lukas Nelson & Promise, the younger Nelson's band, have also expressed their admiration for horses through their music.
At nearly 90 years old, Nelson shows no signs of slowing down or shying away from issues he feels strongly about. (Who can forget his album against Monsanto?) When asked about retirement, Nelson simply replied, "I retire after every show. I say, 'That's it, I'm not goin' no more,' but then we hang out awhile and people [the band] feel like playing, and so we go play again."

This loyal dog also serves as a protector for his two human siblings. Don't use having a baby as an excuse to give up your pet, even if a doctor suggests it or you come up with other reasons.

Heart was abandoned over a year ago after a move, found sick and broken-hearted in a garden without food. This year, Giovanna, a dedicated volunteer from Bitonto, cared for Heart, offering her love during her final days. She accompanied Heart on her last journey, where she peacefully drifted off, facing the sea.
Giovanna shared these moments, imagining Heart’s final thoughts:
“It was beautiful—the wind gently caressed my ears, the waves rhythmically beat against the rocks, and the sound of the sea filled the still winter air. It was so peaceful that I nearly fell asleep, forgetting the pain of being abandoned, the ache of my wounds, and the sorrow of not being able to run with the puppy chasing his stone.
One last breath of freedom.”

This little guy, Charlie, wasn't always the spunky ball of fur you see here. We found him abandoned on the side of the road, his matted fur clinging to his frail body. His front legs, twisted at an unnatural angle, spoke of a past filled with hardship. Our hearts ached for him.
Taking Charlie in was a no-brainer. Despite his physical limitations, his spirit was remarkably bright. His tail thumped a happy rhythm against the floor as we carried him inside.
The vet diagnosed Charlie with a birth defect in his front legs. While surgery was possible, it wasn't an option for us. But that wouldn't slow Charlie down. With a custom-fitted wheelchair, he zoomed around like a furry little race car.
The outpouring of love from our community helped us raise funds for Charlie's care. He became a symbol of resilience, a furry ambassador for adoption and acceptance.
Charlie's journey reminds us that even the most broken hearts can find hope. And sometimes, all it takes is a little love and a second chance.
