googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); A dog named Ruger recently showed up at Vet Ranch suffering from something that broke the doctors’ hearts. Dr. Matt Carriker, a veterinarian from Texas, was so stunned when the poor pup entered his office with extreme chemical burns. He was found by a rescue organization as a stray, and when he entered the office for some much-needed care, people could not believe that someone could do something so awful to a dog. Watch his incredible recovery in the video below. Thank goodness these Good Samaritans were able to save him. Without their care, Ruger probably would’ve died scared and alone. Now he has a new lease on life! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/chemical-burn-dog/
When Woody’s owner died, the family sold the house and left poor Woody behind to fend for himself. For a year, he waited under a nearby shed hoping his owner would return, kept alive by the food and water that neighbours left for him while they searched for someone to help save him. Eventually, dog rescuer Eldad Hagar and his organization, “Hope For Paws” heard about Woody and came to his aid. They rescued him and gave him the feeling of love for the first time in a very long time. That poor little guy; dogs are so loyal to their owners. Good thing Eldad and Hope For Paws was there to lend a kind hand. (Source: Eldad Hagar) Share this heartwarming rescue with your friends by hitting the button below.

Firefighters are used to rescuing scared cats from tall trees, but what about dogs? When the Plattsmouth Fire Department in Nebraska got a call one night about a 120-pound dog stuck 20 feet up in a tree, they thought for sure it was a prank. They were a little bit shocked when they turned up at the scene to find Kora, a Great Dane, sitting high up in a tree, looking down at them with her big, bright eyes. After a bit of brainstorming, the team of firefighters were finally able to lower Kora from the tree using a rope, a ladder, and a police dog harness. Several feet from the ground, Kora’s weight snapped her restraints, but a few brave volunteers were there to catch her with a big tarp. Although she was a little cold after all that time in the tree, Kora wasn’t hurt and was happy to be down, running straight for the house once she was on solid ground. Hopefully, she’ll leave tree climbing to cats from now on. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/stuck-in-tree/

The dog she found was in such bad shape, it was clear he had been on the streets a long time. She named him Gideon… then saved his life. (Video at the bottom) Gideon was found with deep lacerations around his neck. The Bill Foundation He was emaciated and it seemed that he had been living on the streets for a long time. The Bill Foundation It was clear that he was extremely sick. Annie believe he is one of the sickest dogs she ever rescued. The Bill Foundation It’s uncertain whether or not Gideon’s former owners were physically abusive, but Annie thought it was obvious that he suffered neglect and deep emotional abuse. The Bill Foundation Even though the dog knew he needed help and was terribly ill, he had a hard time trusting his rescuers. The Bill Foundation He was literally trembling with fear at the sight of people. The Bill Foundation Then, something amazing happened. Watch the video to see how all of this unfolded.

A puppy named Meesha had to be put under while she was spayed, and when she woke up after the anesthesia wore off, she was understandably confused. The poor pup started whimpering, and that’s when Dennis Moses, a surgical assistant at BARCS Animal Shelter in Baltimore, Maryland, comforted the pooch by taking her in his arms. Something tells me that this man is a father. He seems like a pro when it comes to making little ones feel better! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/vet-comforts-dog/
Living in total misery, two young pit bulls named Lois and Clark lived under a truck until fairly recently. Starving and in desperate need of medical attention, they weren’t going to last much longer in that state. That’s when a few volunteers from Hope for Paws heard about their situation and decided that enough was enough. They struggled a bit at first, but after some coaxing, they were able to wrangle the terrified pups. When they started warming up to rescuers, the adorable pair revealed that they were actually big softies. Lois and Clark are now looking for a forever home, and the folks at Hope for Paws really want to find a family that will let them stay together. If you’d like to help them, please consider sharing their story and directing people in the Los Angeles area to the shelter. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/homeless-pit-bulls/
