Everything for Dogs

Husky Denied By Breeder For Her Looks Is Now Famous

Dogs hold a precious place in our hearts. This is evident in how we go “aww” whenever we see these adorable pooches. There’s just no resisting those wagging tails and derpy fluffs.

While a lot of dogs are blessed with loving families, some of them end up with humans that don’t treat them fairly. These poor canines often get beaten up, neglected, and left on the streets to live as strays.

There are different reasons why these things happen to these dogs. For some, it’s a matter of ending up with humans that love seeing animals suffer. Dogs that are neglected often have a lot to do with having owners that don’t lack the financial capacity to support their daily needs. There are also cases where families neglect dogs because of what they look like.

The cross-eyed Husky

Such is the case of Jubilee, the cross-eyed Husky. Her breeder rejected her because he didn’t like the way she looked. She was turned over to a dog shelter, but volunteers had a hard time looking for a family that would adopt her. Nobody wanted her because of the way she looked.

Caroline Hilliard, a volunteer who used to spend lots of time with Jubilee, wondered why that was so. For her, Jubilee’s personality trumps the way she looks. The dog has a beautiful personality. She’s obedient, sweet, and very loving. Jubilee can be a tad bit shy at times, but she loves receiving hugs and belly rubs from everyone.

The search continues

Determined to help Jubilee find her forever home, Hilliard uploaded her photo online. Interested parties from different parts of the world shared her photo on various social media platforms, putting her on the list of famous dogs online. Her picture has been shared over 32,000 times.

Volunteers at the shelter wanted to make sure that Jubilee would end up with the right family. They required home visits before accepting applications from interested parties. That being the case, those who lived too far from the shelter were automatically eliminated from the list.

Then came the perfect family for Jubilee. What the breeder saw as Jubilee’s imperfections were the very things that made them fall in love with her. After getting the approval from the shelter, they went home with the beautiful Jubilee.

I Tricked My Owner In Building A Short Fence

A dog is leaning over a fence.

How to keep your dog away from the neighbor’s garden or outside your lawn? There are straightforward solutions for that. You can either use a dog cage or build a fence around your house.

dog, puppy, collie

I choose the latter, especially if you have a vast backyard or a spacious lawn in front of your house. Just make sure that you build the fences that are high enough that your dog will not be able to jump over it. Rusty Graves did just that.

Rusty has a dog named Stella and kept her in a cage. Her owner wanted to change her current situation and decided to build a fence around his place. Before he spent his time building the wall at his backyard, he let dog her named Stella jump first on a baby gate of her cage.

He continued to adjust the height to get the perfect measurement that she cannot reach. He was able to find the correct and decided to add six inches high from the usual size of the baby gate. He made sure that the plan will correctly push through.

He spent ample time and effort in constructing it on his own. When he was able to finish in building the wooden fences, so he wanted to capture the moment for the big reveal for his favorite pet. He took a video of the fully built wooden wall as he admired it from afar.

When he opened the door from his house to do the big reveal to her dog Stella, she instantly rushed out and ran towards the newly built fence. Rust Graves had a surprise of his life. Stella quickly jumped over it.

Then, her owner suddenly realized how his dog tricked her in building short fences. In a short video with 18 seconds on it, you can hear how proud Rusty was to his masterpiece and how fast his enthusiasm lasted.

Did you experience troubles in calming your very energetic dog? Do you have enough time to walk or run them? Have you ever thought of buying him a toy instead?

Eveline Poot has the same problem with her Belgian Malinois named Bella. Bella is very energetic and needs tons of activities to deplete her energy. However, Eveline sometimes cannot keep up with the same vigor as her dog.

But she will not back out to the challenge and planned the perfect toy for her energetic pet. She posted a video that shows the ideal plaything that she had purposely made for Bella. It was simple but heavily thought off.

In the video, you will see that there are three bottles pierced on a metal rod attached to a wooden stand. Inside each bottle, it contains dog food, which is Bella’s favorite snack. Using her favorite treat made her engaged in the toy for sure.

For her to manage to get her favorite snack, she needs to learn how to turn the bottle. As the video continues, you can see her effort in turning one bottle at a time. At her first attempt, she used her paw to push the bottle up, but her force is too weak.

Then she tried to use her nose to move it but failed as well. However, that does not stop her there. She continued in rotating each bottle until she gets what she wants.

After multiple attempts, she was able to accomplish her goal. Some of the feasts fall out of the bottle. Once it fell on the ground, she will get her snack as soon as possible. Feeling rewarded to her effort, she goes on playing the bottle to get more of it.

Loyal Dog Helps Tow Truck Driver Rescue His Owner

Tow truck driver, Martin Hall, Jr., was heading out to Mariposa, CA, when he noticed a black dog sitting in the middle of the road. A leash was still attached to the dog’s collar. He tried calling the dog, but it won’t come to him.

Hall attempted to feed the dog with his peanut butter and jelly sandwich and offered his water, but his efforts were futile. The dog wouldn’t budge. The truck driver started to sense that something was not quite right.

He had no idea what could be going on. The dog was sitting on a dirt road out in the middle of nowhere. He began to look around and noticed some possible clues in the nearby bush. A flashlight was also found not far from the dog.

While Hall was doing some investigation, he saw that the dog hasn’t moved. He then heard someone yelling from the woods not far from where he stands. He went to check on it right away.

He discovered an elderly man lying in the dirt, just a short walk from the road. A dog was beside him. He asked the man for his dog’s name and was told that its name was Chico.

The man had fallen at an embankment and suffered a broken hip. Chico had been protecting him while the other dog stayed on the road waiting for a passerby who may be able to help them. According to the elderly man, He had been lying in there for 10 hours before Hall found him. It was pure luck, they agreed,  as Hall was on that road only by accident.

Hall called for help, and the man was rescued right away. He caught the encounter on video and posted this. Since then, Hall and his family have been receiving a lot of thanks from the community for saving the elderly man. But it’s not just Hall who made everything happen. It was the loyalty of his dogs that prompted the action.

Dog Who Has Been Through A Lot Is Now All Smiles

It is upsetting to see how pain can destroy the spirit of a person (or even an animal). At the hands of someone who is cruel, a jolly person (or animal) can soon turn miserable. At the same time, it is amazing how love can change a person (or even an animal). Given the right amount of time and affection, a being that has suffered a lot can heal and eventually be capable of returning that love.

Such is the case for a dog, which has gone through a lot at the hands of, at least, two evil human beings. The dog was rescued one April day after it became the victim in a hit-and-run incident that rendered it unable to walk. Upon further examination, rescuers learned that the dog also had a bullet wound in his right leg.

Succumbing to his fate

Animal control officers took the dog, which was later named Sanford, to a municipal shelter in Dallas, Texas. Sanford stayed there for a week. But since the municipal shelter was small and did not have enough resources, he did not receive any medical treatment there.

Seemingly resigning himself to his fate, the dejected Sanford spent his days at the shelter unwilling to interact with humans. Some people who saw him at this state even thought that he had given up on life and was only waiting for his time. Fortunately for Sanford, there was one human who refused to give up on him.

A new lease on life

Volunteering for local dog rescue group Dallas DogRRR, Karen Velasquez took one look at Sanford and immediately knew she needed to help him. Just a few days after Sanford was discharged from the hospital, Velasquez brought him home with her.

Going into foster care with Velasquez, Sanford’s disposition in life changed drastically. Now, Sanford cannot stop smiling and expressing his gratitude for his temporary owner. Velasquez said that out of the 52 pets she has fostered, Sanford is the only one to look at her differently, but in a good way.

Velasquez adds that the only time Sanford stops smiling is when he sleeps or eats. Indeed, the realization that he is finally in a safe place, with home-cooked meals to eat at that, made Sanford very grateful for getting a new lease on life.

But at the age of 10, Sanford still needs a more permanent home. Dallas DogRRR is exhausting all efforts to see that Sanford is adopted by a loving family. And after all that Sanford has been through, let us all hope that he ends up in the care of people like Velasquez. To learn more about the story, watch the video below:

Boris, a lovable Pit Bull, was once a shelter dog who was looking for a family to give him a forever home. Before he was adopted, he had a skin disease due to mites. A few years after his adoption, Boris had a fantastic transformation. He had turned into a healthy dog who was also famous on Instagram.

His parents wanted him to have a memorable 3rd birthday. They spoiled him more by arranging the best birthday party. He was one lucky dog. Alley and Alex Bardon fell in love with Boris when they first met him at the rescue. It was in 2017 when they decided to give Boris a loving home. It didn’t take long for Bardons to consider Boris as a part of their family.

Before they adopted Boris, they made sure he was neutered. Alex and Alley knew from the start that Boris was a special dog. They thought about having a full-on birthday party for their dog. They invited 15 guests and gave Boris a sweet peanut butter cake from Treats Unleashed.

The guests at Boris’ birthday party wore custom shirts with his face printed on them. He also had plenty of birthday outfits, which included a bandana and hat. Alley and Alex made sure that Boris would have a blast on his birthday, so they invited a photographer to capture the beautiful moment.

The extravagant party didn’t cost Alley and Alex too much money as they used other means like trading Alley’s art. For them, Boris’ happiness was priceless. All of the photos taken during Boris’ birthday party were shared on his Instagram account. There were also photos of Boris in different outfits.

The photos showed how happy Boris was. His Instagram account has over 40,000 followers, and his parents expect the number to increase. Even sponsors couldn’t resist the dog’s charm. He gets a lot of free dog supplies because of his sponsorship deals. There’s no doubt that Boris enjoys a life filled with love.

The way they interacted seemed like they were best of friends for years. Their fur parents thought that they hadn’t met before.
