Lora's puppies are already here. ❤️

Please help this little family by reposting or quoting this post.

Your one share could help desperate Lora and her baby's reach someone who has never heard of TAWF before... and perhaps become the reason another frightened mother is rescued before she gives birth on the streets. 🐾

The Trump admin now allows endangered animal habitats to be used for drilling, farming, mining, and real estate development.

Under a new Interior Department rule, eliminating endangered species habitats is no longer illegal.

A police officer in New Jersey has been arrested for killing 2 dogs after leaving his K-9 partners unattended inside his SUV for 7 hours from 8:30am to 3:30pm in the blistering sun.

The vehicle's engine was turned off, the windows were fully rolled up, and the temperature inside the police SUV was well over 100 degrees F.

Cody L. Henderson, 41, faces 2 third-degree counts of animal cruelty for knowingly or recklessly causing death by failing to provide necessary care, and several disorderly persons offenses related to inhumane restraint and animal neglect.

The 4-year-old Rip and 6-year-old Boomer will NOT receive a traditional, large-scale formal police funeral procession that is typically reserved for K-9s who die in active action.

This whole story is so infuriating.

What kind of maniac leaves 2 dogs alone in a car under the hot summer sun for 7 hours?

When I asked animal control to check on this burnt, bred and deaf dog on Skid Row, they said I was just calling to “get social media likes”.

💔 Eleven years. One family. And now… a shelter kennel.

After spending nearly his entire life in a home, 11-year-old Beau has found himself back at our Adoption Center through no fault of his own. When his family moved and couldn't take him with them, everything he had ever known disappeared. 🥺

Now, instead of a quiet couch and familiar faces, Beau is spending his golden years surrounded by barking dogs, unfamiliar people, and the constant noise of shelter life. It's heartbreaking... because this is not where a senior dog should have to start over.

Beau is a sweet, silver-faced Labrador mix who deserves so much more than a kennel. He's housebroken, knows his basic cues, and never says no to a tasty treat. He's looking for an adults-only home where he can be your one and only pet - a place where he can finally exhale, settle in, and simply be loved for exactly who he is. After 11 years, we don't think it's fair to ask Beau to become someone he's not. He deserves a family that will meet him where he is, appreciate his gentle spirit, and give him the peaceful retirement he's earned.

He's lost the only home he's ever known.

Please don't let him lose hope, too.

If you can give this deserving senior the soft bed, quiet home, and unconditional love he's been missing, Beau will be waiting...❤️🏡

A single bird has just accomplished one of the most extraordinary feats in the animal kingdom — flying nearly one-third of the way around the Earth without stopping to eat, drink, or rest.

The record-breaker is a five-month-old Bar-tailed Godwit that flew nonstop from Alaska to Tasmania, Australia. Covering 8,425 miles in just over 11 days, it set a new record for the longest nonstop flight ever documented in any bird.

What makes this journey even more astonishing is that it was the young godwit’s very first migration. The entire route took place over the open Pacific Ocean, with no chance to land. Despite that, the bird navigated thousands of miles of featureless water with pinpoint accuracy.

This incredible endurance is made possible by remarkable physiological adaptations. Before takeoff, the godwit packs on enormous fat reserves — nearly half its body weight — to fuel the flight. At the same time, many of its internal organs, including parts of the digestive system, temporarily shrink to lighten the load and maximize energy efficiency.

Unlike many seabirds that depend heavily on gliding, this godwit flapped continuously for the entire journey, battling shifting winds and weather systems the whole way.

Researchers at the Pūkōroro Auckland Shorebird Centre say discoveries like this are transforming our understanding of migratory birds. Their astonishing endurance, navigation skills, and energy management demonstrate biological capabilities that can match — and in some ways surpass — even the most advanced human engineering.

A Perth woman who was seen strangling her puppy because she was fed up with it destroying her belongings has been handed a suspended jail sentence. 
Lani Beattie, 23, was filmed by a passerby standing over 'lifeless' Roxy in the backyard of her Beckenham home on October 13 last year.

The witness called police and RSPCA WA after seeing the one-year-old dog tied to a carport pole with a rope around her neck.
They told The West they heard the staffy-kelpie cross puppy as it yelped, screamed, choked and struggled.

The witness reportedly also saw Beattie strangling Roxy with a second rope before suspending the puppy by the neck as she tried to escape.
Beattie told police she didn't want Roxy anymore because the dog was 'chewing up all my s***' and frustrated her.

Roxy was left with bruising, swelling, bleeding in her right eye, and behaviour consistent with psychological harm, examinations at a vet revealed.
She has since recovered after being removed from Beattie's care and rehomed by RSPCA WA. 

Beattie appeared at Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday, where the RSPCA WA prosecutor said it was an example of 'wicked' and 'sustained' cruelty.
Magistrate Michelle Harries called the behaviour 'abhorrent'. 

The facts are in my view serious ... They are facts you should be very ashamed of,' she said.
Beattie was convicted of animal cruelty and sentenced to six months and 14 days in prison. 
The order was suspended for 12 months with supervision and program requirements.
She was also banned from owning or caring for animals for five years and ordered to pay more than $1,600 to RSPCA WA.
