By Ashley Ortiz| The Dodo Verified When the staff at Montgomery County Animal Shelter (MCAS) agreed to rescue a senior black dog found in a park earlier this month, they expected the mission to end with a happy reunion. The pup had a collar on with tags, which suggested that he had a loving home somewhere. But when the rescuers arrived, they quickly realized that he wasn’t being cared for, and that he wasn’t a stranger.
By Ashley Ortiz| The Dodo Verified There’s nothing like having a best friend to lean on during life’s hardest moments, especially when you’re a tiny, defenseless animal. Take it from Kirby, a little fox cub in the United Kingdom, who was recently rescued from a dangerous situation. “Kirby was found by the side of the road with blood around his nose and with a minimum of 500 [plus] ticks on him,” Wildlife Aid wrote on Facebook.
By Ashley Ortiz| The Dodo Verified Last August, Romanian dog rescuer Georgiana Neagu met a fluffy puppy with a unique appearance and a heartbreaking backstory. The pup, later named Nala, technically had a home, but her parents sadly didn’t know how to care for her. Covered in flies and ravaged by a skin condition that left her completely bald, the sick pup looked up at Neagu, begging for a second chance.
