Without an adoption, Rosie would die at the animal shelter. That’s What Toni and her daughters MacKenna and Kerrigan read on the Rosie’s adoption profile online when they were looking to adopt a dog. MacKenna and Kerrigan’s hearts were set on helping Rosie, but when they saw that her listing was gone, their stomaches dropped, thinking the shelter dog might have been euthanized.
But that was far from what happened. Instead, Toni and her husband Stephen had secretly adopted Rosie and arranged for the dog to be flown out to them.

Valentina was found with a broken noose around her neck. The broken rope meant someone had tried to hang her but didn’t succeed and because of that, the rescued Spanish Greyhound has a second chance at life.
Galgos, or Spanish Greynhounds are bred so they can be used during the hunting season in Spain after which the dogs are abandoned and killed. It happens to an estimated 50,000 dogs every year!
Dog rescue organizations do their best to save as many dogs as they can. Luckily for Valentina, she was rescued by one of them and eventually adopted by a family in the Netherlands.
One of the rescues is doing their best to shut down the practice in Spain, which is the only European country where it is allowed to hunt with galgos. AnimalsToday.nl writes, “Many dogs are now being adopted in European countries, but this, in the end, offers no solution to the problem. The hunt itself must be banned. You can show your support by signing their petition here.
Thankfully, Valentina will know what love feels like. And thankfully, she’s not the only Galgos to feel love. Watch this heartwarming video of Roky upon his arrival to the Netherlands to meet his new family
A nurse comforted an elderly patient in her final moments and eased her passing immensely by letting her know she had adopted her dog.
Kim Still, a nurse At Northside Hospital Gwinnett in Georgia, was assigned to the terminally ill patient and the two made an instant connection. During their short friendship, the elderly woman confided in Kim that her biggest worry was for her dog Jax.
“Before the patient passed Kim learned that her dog Jax would not have a home and would be surrendered to the local shelter,” DAISY Foundation writes on Facebook.
Kim tells WBSTV that the woman had told her she did not have family or friends that could take Jax. After hearing this, Kim worried about Jax and what his future would hold. Would he be okay at the shelter? Would he find a loving family?
screenshot via YouTubeKim couldn’t get the dog out of her mind. She decided she could not let Jax go to the shelter with the chance that he “may or may not be adopted by a kind and loving family.”
So she adopted Jax to ensure he would have the best life with her, the DAISY Foundation explained. “I’m never going to get rid of him,” Kim told WBSTV. “He is one of the most loving dogs ever.”
Thankfully, Kim’s patient learned of Kim’s wonderful gesture before she died.
“Before Kim’s patient passed, she was made aware of Kim’s extraordinary act of kindness,” DAISY Foundation reassures everyone. “The patient was able to pass peacefully knowing that Jax had been adopted by her favorite nurse.”
Kim’s compassionate act was recognized by the Daisy Foundation, who presented her with DAISY Honoree award for extraordinary nurses. As for Kim, she says Jax will remind her of why she does what she does.
“You’re loved, you’re here.” That’s what Tom Pappas of Ottawa Lake, Michigan tells the senior dogs who he takes home. A refuge, a sanctuary, a home to 20 senior dogs, Dirty Paws Agape Haven networks with dog shelters across the Midwest, adopting their oldest residents and giving them a loving place to spend their final years.
Pappas, a cardiologist, spoke with WTOL 11 about his mission to help the frequently overlooked shelter pets who have so much love to give. He said he gives the dogs what elderly humans want for themselves in their latter years – “dignity and love and passing on with their friends” around them.

A dog named Che is being hailed as a hero after alerting neighbors of a fire and protecting his owner from harm. The dog began barking at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, Oct 30, 2016 in a two-storey red brick rowhouse in Port Richmond, Philadelphia.
Che does not usually bark, so his continua barking caught the attention of neighbors who investigated and noticed a blaze in the rowhouse. Firefighters arrived and found Che lying on top of his owner. The dog and his human were both unconscious because of the smoke, but both were luckily revived with oxygen.
Che is now being temporarily cared for by one of the woman’s friends and hopefully will be reunited with his human soon!
Share Che’s heroic actions with your family and friends.
