Way to go, Monte! They say every dog has it's day and that day is here for one shelter pup from Phoenix, Arizona!
Monte is a 2-year-old terrier mix. was rescued from the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley in Las Cruces, New Mexico, by HALO Animal Rescue in April 2018. HALO had be considered his 'home,' until he got adopted. According to the staff at the HALO shelter, Monte is described as super friendly, loves to greet people, give kisses, and loves attention. He also already knew how to sit and walks well on a leash.
Sounds like star quality to us!
When the animal trainers from Hollywood came scouting, looking for rescue dogs to cast in their film, Monte was an obvious choice. Monte was adopted by the trainers, and it's noted that he is leading a happy and normal life.
And it gets even better -- Disney has also added that all the rescue dogs featured in the film found furever homes when production ended!
You can stream "Lady and the Tramp" and catch Monte's performance on November 12th, on Disney's new streaming service.
This is amazing! Delaware is making history as the first and only no-kill animal shelter state in the country! According to Best Friends Animal Society, a non-profit animal welfare organization. for a state to be recognized as "no-kill," it must achieve a 90% save rate for all the animals that enter -- and Delaware did that.
Brandywine Valley SPCA, which has three locations in Delaware and cares for more than 14,000 animals each year, have multiple programs implemented on how they achieved this no-kill status!
It's easy to convince people to adopt a puppy, like adopting people, people mostly want babies. However, puppies are the first to go at the shelters and rescues, and the poor adult and senior dogs are left there. And those dogs have just as much love inside.
Animal Protective Association of Missouri (APA) had just come out with a recent, and brilliant, ad campaign. The posters and the hashtags #grownassadult and #adoptadult is educating people about the many advantages of adopting grown-up dogs!
And there are so many advantages! If you're thinking about adopting a dog, we hope this campaign sticks with you and you consider adopting an adult.
"Get a dog who gets you. Adopt adult."
In Indiana of 2015, the Animal Protection League started a wonderful program in Pendleton Correctional Facility (F.O.R.W.A.R.D). Their mission is simple, to foster shelter cats in a safe, healthy and cage-free environment while teaching offender cat caregivers responsibility, compassion, and empathy.
And so far, the program has proved to be very beneficial for both cats and inmates!

Honestly, their faces say it all... some nervous, some scared, and some bursting with pure happiness that comes from realizing you're not in a cage anymore. We love all these faces because all of them will find so much love in their new homes.
These pooches put on their best fairy tale gear to attend Helen Woodward Animal Center's 7th Annual Puppy Prom. Each year, the animal rescue throws this adorable event to give shelter alumni a chance to celebrate finding a forever home with a big dance. Along with raising awareness about the joy pet adoption brings to animals and humans alike, this highly-anticipated also gives former Helen Woodward residents a chance to reunite with their favorite volunteers and litter mates that were adopted out to different families.
These young ladies are incredible! Ella, 10-years-old, and her younger sister Erin, 6-years-old, volunteer weekly at Robyn's Nest Animal Rescue in Germantown, Ohio.
Their mother Emily had this to say about her extraordinary daughters, "my daughters are constantly thinking of ideas to help raise money since the shelter is pretty small (currently 10 cats, 3 dogs (plus 1 in foster who just had 13 babies), 2 guinea pigs). Ella, my 10-year-old, orchestrated a shoe drive in her classroom as the shelter collects shoes for a non-profit, and once they get a certain amount, the non-profit makes a donation. She also started making homemade slime to sell on Etsy to raise money (ebslimeshoppe)."
When a tiny tornado ripped through their little town last year it completely damaging their animal shelter. Thankfully, all the animals were safe but all needed fostering. When the shelter re-opened and supplies arrived, the young girls helped sort through the containers and helped set the shelter back up!
Then they came up with a beautiful idea to create a haiku ebook, all about cats. The e-book can be found here on Amazon, and all proceeds go towards Robyn's Nest Animal Rescue.
Thank you, Emily, Ella & Erin, for all that you do for the animal community!
All animals pictured below are available for adoption at the Robyn's Nest Animal Rescue:
This story is a tear-jerker, make sure you have that tissue box near and ready! The owner of two beautiful 16-year-old Birman cats was forced to accept the fact that she will be moving into a nursing home and would not be able to bring her beloved cats with her. The most difficult part of making this decision was because she was worried about her loves and to make matters worse, her family was unable, and unwilling, to take the cats in. She was left with one choice, return them to the shelter.
These are some adorably unique animals and we hope they all have found a fur-ever home! Enjoy the crazy shenanigans of these pups and cats at the shelter.
This owner was nervous to see how her pitbull would react to her bringing home a new pet into the house, the pet is a beautiful one-eyed Sphynx. It's safe to say, they'll be just fine. Check out the heartwarming images below:
Need a date for Valentine's Day? How about a furr-ever love instead? In Lithuania, animal lovers have created an app, GetPet, inspired by the popular dating app Tinder. GetPet is like Tinder but for dogs in the shelter in need of a furr-ever home. Vaidas Gecevicius, one of the app's creators, takes about how when swiping right on the picture of the dog that melts your heart, "you can arrange a meeting with the dog — a date." Some of the app's features are similar to that of Tinder's, profile pics of the pup and if you scroll down, the information about each pup is revealed. You can also continue swiping left and a new profile will appear. The app currently just features dogs but they hope to add more pets soon! Read all about it at AP News!
