Give Chance a chance at a furever home! This sweet 7-year-old was tossed out of a car into a very busy street, but Animal Wellness Foundation saved the day by snatching him up from certain danger. If you’re interested in this cutie, message them.
As if we needed it- another good reason to be a dog owner.
New York Times: “After reviewing the evidence, the American Heart Association has concluded that dog ownership, in particular, may lower heart disease risk. “
After losing my best friends from old age, I was lost without them. It took me a year and God sent me Gino.
I boxer mastiff mix. He had spent his whole life in a shelter as they tried 5 times to put him down a shelter worker kept taking him off the death table and saved him.
When her superiors heard what she was doing they told her the dog goes to sleep or you lose your job.
She called a rescue person here, where I live 95 miles away, and told her the story. By God’s grace she was helping me to find another pet. She called and told me his story and how he was in bad shape.
When Gino came to me he had had his heart worm cured, 2 ports in his back, bleeding ears from infection and was neutered. He was in bad shape.
I looked into his eyes and took him. Today Gino is totally transformed and is the best dog in the world. He is an angel with no bad habits we can see. He is trained and so smart we tell him no once and he learns. I am thinking he would make a great therapy dog.
Please see pics. He has made my son Justin and I very happy and once again we have furry loveSend us your story: feedback@explore.org
Dogma Thursday
We asked our Explore community to share their stories with us - particularly the ones about their canine best friends. We love this first story we received from Jeff, who responded almost immediately, about his family’s rescue dogs.
We adopted both girls at older ages. They are now 10 & 11. The love they constantly give is always what we need, when we need it. I wake up every morning smiling because of my girls.
Thank you for sharing, Jeff! Dog bless you.
Have a story (and a picture) about your best friend - canine or other animal species? Share it with us at feedback@explore.org.
We found these guys on a quick search of adoptable animals from No-Kill Shelters in California. Teddie, Marco, Sadie and Coco above are all available in Edwards, CA.
