Things happen to animals that make kinder people wonder what the perpetrators were thinking? Or whether they have a heart? The people who delivered Sienna, an eight-week-old kitten with a vibrant color and personality, to the shelter said that someone had dropped Sienna and her brother, Shaggy, on a driveway, taped in a box. That […]
Ivan, with his satellite-dish ears and habit of leaning against the leg of someone he trusts, may not show his Rin Tin Tin tendencies right now. But very few shelter pups do. Eleven-month-old Ivan would be foolish not to feel insecure. The German Shepherd-mix pup is intelligent and observant. Ivan knows that he’s part of […]
When the man began shooting, eight-week-old Spirit probably trembled and tried to hide against the cold, bare ground. The frightened puppy must have heard her brothers and sisters cry out, one by one, as the bullets killed them. Then it was Spirit’s turn. She, too, must have yelped as the cartridge entered her tiny body. […]

No creature looks any sadder than a heartbroken, 12-week-old, Beagle-mix puppy. And this puppy, Tango, has a right to be sad. He’s the little leftover. Tango was sad when he watched each of his littermates carried away. Still, Tango had Mamma and the humans that he’s learned to know and trust. Then one of those […]
Karma is little more than a kitten herself; kittens who aren’t protected grow up quickly and sadly. Even though someone taught Karma to love her humans, even though they taught her perfect manners, and even though little Karma did everything they asked, her people never had her spayed. So, before she was grown herself, Karma […]

People thought that about the little tuxedo cat that they glimpsed in their rural neighborhood, from a distance. Those glimpses didn’t show them that the fellow was losing weight. Finally, one day, a woman […]
