ThePHX264, Thanks for the photo and short story of your adorable shelter rescue dog.

"Pit Bull" dogs are not a problem breed as many would have you think. It is the training/upbringing that makes them aggressive. I have known many so called "Pit Bull" dogs many who have been "shelter rescue dogs" and the owners over the years and are one of the nicest and gentile dogs you have met.

Great story.

Love the tin foil hats photo!

From the article...
“Come storm our shelter,” Oklahoma City Animal Welfare, the only animal shelter for Oklahoma City, said in a post on Facebook.

“We have great animals ready to protect you from the Area 51 aliens. Adoption isn’t that far out of this world!” the post added.

The post also featured photos of dogs with tin foil hats and one cat with a tin foil color.

Is there anything cuter than kids reading to puppies? You decide

...
“We’ve found that some kids have trouble reading in front of people and reading aloud,” Huff said. “Having them read to dogs lets them practice reading aloud without being embarrassed when they have trouble with a word or stumble.”

Yes:) Actually it's not a dog but almost. It's an arctic fox. No wonder you don't see them here during winter.
The arctic fox was close to disappearing completely during the late 1990s in Sweden, but in 2013 there were an estimated 120 fully grown arctic foxes in Sweden.

Today is Dog Appreciation Day! Today, we honor dogs for all that they do to enrich our lives. Dogs were the first animals to be domesticated by humans. Today, dogs are used as companions and are considered to be a member of the family in many parts of the world. Celebrate by giving your furry friend some treats or adopt one and give it a loving home!

How long would you search for a lost pet?

Woman finds dog after quitting her job to search for nearly two months
A Washington State woman spent nearly two months searching for her runaway dog in a small Montana town — even quitting her job so she could stick around.

After an exhaustive 57-day search, Carole King was finally reunited with her beloved border collie Katie last week.

Deaf man adopts rescue puppy with hearing loss and teaches him sign language

Sometimes when you see an animal in need of rescuing, you just know you have a connection with them.

That’s exactly how Nick Abbott felt when he came across a Facebook post asking to find an adorable black lab mix named Emerson a forever home.

Prison Inmates Care for Senior Rescue Dogs in ‘Paws 4 Life’ Program
“To be able to train the dog to be able to go home one day because it’s our dream to also reintegrate back into society. It’s a huge thing,” said inmate James Cross, who has been in prison for 16 years after being sentenced to 25 years to life for conspiracy to commit murder.

“Being a violent offender and being in blue, it comes with a major stigma. It comes with a lot of shame. And the dogs having unconditional love, they just love you for who you are at your core,” he commented.
