Anna Faris’ Rescue Pup Allegedly Found Neglected on the Street!

Mr.Dog — Sun, 27 Nov 2016 06:31:05 +0000

When Chihuahua mix, Pete, was adopted by Hollywood star Anna Faris (of “Scary Movie” fame) he likely thought he one the rescue-dog lottery. And like most people, Faris was required, Kinder4Rescue owner Laurel Kinder told TMZ, to sign an adoption contract at the time. The rule is in place in order for the rescue to keep track of where the animal ends up.

TMZ reported that Pete was found last week, emaciated and wandering on the street. When the vet treating him scanned his microchip, they got a hit on both Faris and Kinder4Rescue.

Since then, the site reports, Faris has failed to answer the North Hollywood shelter’s calls.

TMZ says sources close to Faris and husband, movie star Chris Pratt, say the pair is out of state, but had heard the dog was found and want to make arrangements to bring them home. They also reported sources as saying they’d found “a nice family home” for Pete, but were unclear as to whether that was temporary or permanent.

Dog That Looks Like Dobby From Harry Potter Seeks New Family

Mr.Dog — Tue, 10 May 2016 13:28:21 +0000

Dobby, not the house elf from the popular book/movie franchise Harry Potter, but a Chihuahua is looking for a new home, and the people at the shelter are worried that she look a little too… strange(?). Her real name is Kendall, but is called Dobby due to the striking resemblance she has to the much loved house elf.

She’s currently residing at a shelter run by Dogs Trust. She also had her best friend, another Chihuahua called Winky, with her when she got to their rehoming center. The staff loves them both very much, and would really love to see them adopted out together.

Re-homing Center manager Nicki Barrow said, “Kendall is an adorable girl who is a real wizard when it comes to making new doggy friends. She has been conjuring up so much love from her care-givers here so we are really surprised that she hasn’t yet found her perfect home. It’s amazing how much she looks like Dobby and just like her doppelganger, she is such a loyal, funny character who would make a fantastic family pet in the right home. As much as we love her here, we would enjoy nothing better than to see her potter off to a new home with the loving new family she deserves.”

Westley Pearson, director of claims at Animal Friends said, “Often times we hear stories of dogs arriving at rehoming centers and whilst the majority of these dogs go on to find their forever home, it is a sad truth that a percentage remain at the center. We hope that Dobby, with her unique features and mischievous nature can find her own forever home. Thankfully, we are now seeing an increase in rescued pets having insurance which means they are being rehomed to responsible households.”

Dogs Trust has launched a campaign, calling on all Harry Potter fans. They hope to find someone that sees the resemblance she bears to Dobby, and give her the forever family she deserves.

Big Ol’ Mush of a Dog Gives Cuddles to Scared Shelter Animals

Mr.Dog — Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:34:23 +0000

Charlie was once a sickly, overweight, scared shelter dog. He was taken in by a foster family, and became a foster fail. They fell in love and adopted him, and now Charlie hugs and comforts the other shelter dogs the family fosters.

The people who Charlie once belonged to obviously didn’t give him the care he needed before dumping him at a Denver shelter. The Catahoula mix was 35 pounds overweight and so out of shape that staffed believed he might have actually been suffering seizures because he was panting so hard after his first walk.

Through the Dumb Friends League, he found himself being fostered by volunteer Alaina Bupp and her husband. They wanted him to spend a month with them to see if he had any more seizures. But he didn’t. They gave him plenty of much-needed exercise, and during his stay, they fell for him.

“There was something about Charlie,” Alaina told The Dodo. “We both wanted to keep him. We both decided he was a permanent member of our family.”

They doted on him for as long as it took for him to heal. But soon it was time to begin fostering again. They wanted to help more dogs, but they had no idea what a huge help Charlie would be.

Their first was a tiny Chihuahua who was so malnourished that he was cold all the time. But Charlie turned out to be a real boon. He’s like a cuddly space heater, and kept the new guy nice and toasty.

“Charlie’s a big guy and he puts off a lot of heat,” Alaina said.

Though the Chihuahua was nervous, he was put at ease around the mellow Charlie. Alaina soon realized that he might have a real flair for being a foster brother.

When other dogs were brought to the house, they just needed to snuggle with Charlie. He calmed them during such a tumultuous time in their lives.

“I think really the difference is confidence,” Alaina explained. “He makes them feel safe.”

In the past three years that Charlie has been with the Bupps, he has helped them foster 13 dogs. Because of his effect on them, he has helped them come out of their shells enough for potential adopters to see what wonderful companions they could make.

His newest sibling is another Chihuahua.“He’s still skittish around me, but he loves Charlie.”

The big guy sleeps on the bed with his humans, and when the little guy saw that, he realized it was safe for him to do, too.

“Once Charlie gets in bed, he comes and gets in bed with us too,” Alaina noted. “I know he wouldn’t do that if Charlie wasn’t doing that.”

Dog Offers Crying Baby Brother a Cookie to Cheer Him Up

Mr.Dog — Mon, 07 Mar 2016 01:04:18 +0000

Anyone who doesn’t know by now just how full of intelligence, emotion, and compassion dogs are doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air as these wonderful creatures. Daizu (Soybean) the Chihuahua was such a good big brother that he selflessly offered up a much coveted dog biscuit to calm down his crying human brother.

This dog was heartlessly discarded by a breeder, and when he was found was emaciated and being eaten by mites. But he was taken in by a family who treated him like a prince, and he recovered.

Because of his traumatic past, some might think he’d have had a hard time adjusting to an attention-hogging baby, but Daizu was like another parent to the boy – his first friend, really.

Even though the baby didn’t always understand what Daizu was doing, he never stopped trying to engage him in play. As he got older, the boy would play tug-of-war with him, and Daizu was as gentle as ever.

Sadly, Daizu succumbed to a severe respiratory infection in October. He was eight years old. Because of the wonderful experiences Daizu had with this boy, it is likely that he will always love and be kind to animals.

Chihuahua Helps Save South African Family from Five Gunmen

Mr.Dog — Sat, 27 Feb 2016 01:41:07 +0000

A little dog became one family’s hero when she woke them up during a robbery. She also took a kick to the stomach so she could grab one of the gunmen by the leg. Though one person was shot, the family made it to safety because of their brave little Molly.

All was quiet in the Rustenburg, South Africa home until Molly began barking ferociously around 1 am. Zach Scheepers awoke to see a man standing in his bedroom doorway with a flashlight and 9mm gun pointed at him. The man turned off the flashlight and kicked Molly.

“Thula wena (keep quiet),” he snapped at her.

The long-haired Chihuahua then bit at the man’s pant leg as he tried to kick her away. He tried to free himself from her grasp, and shot at the couple. Zach’s wife Brigette suffered a through-and-through shot in the thigh.

While Molly was trying to fend off the assassin, Zach had a brief moment to grab his own 9mm for his nightstand and fire back. The man fled, but continued to shoot at them. Four other intruders bombarded the house with a hail of gunfire.

Zach rushed to get his children, Zané and Johan, to safety. He escorted them back to the master bedroom, where they called police and friends and family. The property alarm sounded as the attackers launched themselves over the fence.

Zach was astounded that his little dog, who was known for “always running away,” had so bravely faced their assailants.

“I would not be here,” he told Netwerk24. “She’ll be getting big steaks tonight, if only the power would come on.”

The robbers got away with the family’s car keys, house keys, a laptop, a purse, and a cell phone. Brigette was taken to the hospital for treatment and has since returned home. The Scheepers are just glad that there were no lives lost.

“If it was not for that dog, I may possibly not be here today,” Zach said.

A Car Hit Her And Left Her Broken. When She Learns To Trust Again? Amazing!

Mr.Dog — Sat, 13 Feb 2016 23:54:40 +0000

Amy was abandoned in the middle of the streets and unfortunately people didn’t really care about her. So much so, that someone hit Amy with their car and didn’t even bother to take her to the vet to see if she was alright.

As it turns out Amy was not alright, she had a broken leg and was in desperate need of medical attention in order to fix the problem. Lucky for Amy someone cared just enough to call Hope for Paws to help her.

The problem now was that Amy did not trust humans at all. She hid under a tight spaces and intended on staying there until the rescuers from Hope for Paws went away. They didn’t go away and a manager to get poor Amy out of that place.

As you can see she panicked at first but was so well taken care of that she calmed down pretty quickly. Then the rescuers took her to a vet that agreed to take care of Amy and fix her broken leg.

A few weeks later Amy’s broken leg is fixed and she is able to trust humans again, but her path to recovery isn’t over. Now she needs someone to love her and to look after her. Now Amy needs someone that is going too make her happy for the rest of her life.

College Students Heard Whimpering, But Had No Idea What Was Hiding On Campus

Mr.Dog — Sat, 21 Nov 2015 23:38:25 +0000

Hope For Paws was recently called to a campus where students spotted a homeless Chihuahua hiding in a field. They thought she might have given birth to puppies and knew she needed help ASAP.

Thankfully, Eldad Hagar quickly showed up on the scene, with help and a cheeseburger in hand.

The small family was hiding in a trench, and was able to be cornered without too much stress.

Unfortunately, one of the puppies was in severe pain. The little girl, Ivy, had severe hydrocephalus (which is fluid in the brain). They had to put her down to let her be at peace.

The mother and two remaining puppies were cleaned up and given a clean bill of health. All of them are currently available for adoption, so if you’re interested in giving one a home, please visit Doggies 911 Rescue.

If you’d like to help Hope For Paws rescue more dogs, please visit their site and consider giving a donation. Every little bit helps.
