rescue injured dog

On February 9, 2015, a three to six-month-old terrier puppy from Tucson, Ariz., was hit by car and left for dead on the side of Drexel Road, but thanks to an animal lover who stopped and helped the injured puppy, the dog is on her road to recovery.

The young dog, now called Charity, was left with fractured hind legs, pelvis and femur. Even though she was unable to walk or stand when found, veterinarians are hopeful the puppy will be able to walk again because the pet never lost her ability to wiggle her tail.

On December 15, 2014, two women from Muskegon, Mich., were driving down 8th Street when they spotted a small animal laying in the middle of the road inside a pothole. The women circled around the block and rescued the pet who had been injured.

On November 30, 2014, Pets Without a Home (Animales Sin Hogar), an animal rescue organization from Montevideo, Uruguay, received a plea to help a mutilated dog taking refuge in a make-shift dog house in a backyard. No knows who the dog belongs to, who abused him, or how the tortured dog arrived at the home, but the little dog, now named Nick, had all four limbs and one of his ears mutilated, in addition to having part of his nose missing.

A stray dog from El Higueron, Spain, is lucky to be alive today after it got hit by a car. What saved the pet’s life was getting stuck in the car’s front bumper after the accident.

The man behind the wheel said he was surprised when the stray dog jumped in front of his car. Moreover, the driver was saddened when he couldn’t stop the vehicle in time to avoid hitting the pet.

Two stray dogs from Mexico where walking along the highway connecting Monterrey and Saltillo on Sunday, Dec. 7, 2014, when a vehicle traveling at high speeds hit one of the dogs leaving him for dead. In a country where animal welfare is not a top priority, the chances of the two strays getting help were zero to none, but what happened next was just unexpected.

On Saturday, Nov. 21, 2014, Chicago-based animal rescue organization Trio Animal Foundation (TAF) was called to rescue a black Labrador puppy that had been surrendered by a mentally unstable man. The man feared he was going to kill the pup, but before he did something he would later regret, he reached out for help.

On November 1, 2014, drivers in Pereira, Colombia, stopped a woman from intentionally killing her dog after the woman tied her pet to the back of her car and planned to drag him to death.
