Every shelter dog dreams of finding his or her human, leaving the shelter and entering a loving forever home. For Bolt, a homeless Staffordshire Bull Terrier from Drumoak, Aberdeenshire, the dream came true just after spending 550 days living in a Scottish SPCA Rescue center.

Nikki and Martin Shaw are Bolt’s newest forever parents. They met him at the shelter and instantly fell in love with him.

On June 11, 2014, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue received an unusual call. The firefighters are used to running out to put out fires and assist in the rescue of humans, but when the caller said the one in need was a Dachshund, the unit knew the day would be one they will always remember.

A Dachshund or Weiner dog as they are commonly know, needed rescuers to get him out of the jam he put himself in. The small dog tried to squeeze through burglar bars but unfortunately got stuck.

On June 10, 2014, hundreds of animal lovers gathered outside the Van Nuys courtroom in California to show their support for Indy, a pit bull discovered with third-degree burns over half his body on Independence weekend 2013. They gathered outside the court house because 41-year-old Carlos Duarte, the man arrested and charged for Indy’s animal abuse, appeared in court for a preliminary hearing. The group not only showed support for Indy, but they demanded justice for the innocent pet.

Duffy is a dog with diabetes, and like many others with this disease, had trouble with his eyesight.  Eventually, the disease left Duffy almost completely blind.  Duffy received eye surgery and can see again, and judging by the video, I’d have to say Duffy is one happy dog to be able to actually see his family again.

Susie is one lucky dog! She and her owner, 68-year-old Elaine Caralias from Fort Lauderdale went over to visit a neighbor who lives on a high-rise apartment building.  Once inside the residence, the dog became interested in something and started sniffing around the place. Her curiosity led her to a closet where she found an open air duct on the floor and unfortunately the pet fell through the duct 15 floors down.
