💔 11 YEARS LATER, CODY IS BACK WHERE HIS LIFE BEGAN.
Cody started his life in a shelter as a puppy. Now, at 11 years old, he’s back behind a kennel door.
He was found as a stray, and his owner even came to the shelter… only to walk away and leave him behind. 😭
After 11 years of memories, love and a home, Cody is now a senior boy hoping someone will give him a second chance.
His baby picture from over a decade ago is in the comments. ❤️

Yesterday evening, the best kind of elephant rescue unfolded – one that ended with a little life saved and a wild family kept together.
A young calf was found flailing inside a septic tank, trapped and unable to free herself. Keepers from our nearby Voi Reintegration Unit raced to the scene, alongside the SWT/KWS Tsavo Mobile Vet Unit. Together, they filled the tank with water, slowly floating her up to a level where she could be lifted onto solid ground.
It was the moment her mother had been waiting for. The herd had remained in the area, panicky but clearly not yet giving up hope. The reunion at the end speaks for itself – sound up to hear the trumpets of joy!
It isn’t always possible to reunite a trapped calf with her family. Often, by the time a calf is discovered, many hours have passed and the herd has been forced to move on. Whether it’s a rescue or a reunion, our team will be there, and we’ll make sure this tank is covered so it can’t happen again.

💔 JUSTICE FOR NIKKI.
Nikki was found near Sebesta Rd. & Hwy 35 in Angleton, Texas, with horrific gunshot injuries.
X-rays show BBs and metal fragments lodged in her shoulder, and one of her legs was shattered by a bullet.
Someone shot this innocent dog. Someone knows who did it.
🚨 If you have ANY information about who hurt Nikki or where she was injured, contact Angleton Animal Services at 979-848-5696.
Nikki deserves justice. She deserves a chance to heal. And the person responsible needs to be held accountable.
Please share. Someone knows something. 🐾💔 #JusticeForNikki
🚨#BREAKING: Parents are FURIOUS after a 67-year-old Maryland school bus driver who bought EVERY KID SCHOOL SUPPLIES ON HER ROUTE was STRIPPED OF HER CERTIFICATION...
...because she stopped on an empty country road so a 10-year-old boy could RESCUE AN INJURED KITTEN!!!
Yes, you read that right...
A little boy saw a hurt kitten on the side of the road, his bus driver let him save it, and she lost her job for it.
Her name is Cynthia Morgan.
For 11 years she drove kids in Harford County, most recently to North Harford Elementary.
Parents say every fall she BOUGHT SCHOOL SUPPLIES for EVERY child on her bus.
Oh, and she also bought:
-> Christmas gifts.
-> Birthday cards.
All out of her own pocket, for all her bus stop students.
In one mom’s words:
“She is an angel. She is the most caring person.”
Then one day... in rural Pylesville, the boy spotted an injured kitten by the road.
He was the ONLY child on the bus
Cynthia stopped, he hopped off, scooped up the kitten, and held it the whole way to school.
On October 5th, the district’s transportation director sent a letter to the contractor that employs her and stripped her of her certification.
More than 10,000 people have signed a petition to bring her back.
Even freaking PETA wrote to the Board of Education TODAY demanding a review of the situation
The boy’s mother is BEYOND FURIOUS... if you can't let a boy rescue a kitten on a country road, what CAN you do?!!!!
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!!!!!!!!
Toxic people don’t attack your weaknesses. They attack your strengths. 🤍
They find the thing you feel most confident about and they chip away at it little by little, until you no longer recognize yourself.
Protect your strengths. Guard your sense of self. And pay very close attention to who in your life makes you feel less like you. That is always where it starts.
Sometimes I wonder how many versions of myself I've outgrown without even noticing. I look back at old photos and remember the thoughts I used to carry, the dreams I thought would save me. It's strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you're evolving. It's only when you look back that you realize how far you've come, how many lives you've already lived in the same skin….forward always
A photographer captured this rare moment of a critically endangered sawfish swimming alongside a sea turtle in Western Australia.
The photo by Matt Deakin is called "Ethereal Encounter" and won the 2026 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year award.
Every October, wildlife rehabbers have to cut owls and squirrels out of Halloween decorations.
Fake spiderwebs are a snare that can catch whatever flies into them, the same way real ones do. Rehabbers have pulled out hummingbirds, sparrows, hawks, bats, snakes, lizards and chipmunks.
The more an animal fights, the tighter it gets wrapped. A Texas rehab center took in a bat that had broken its own bones thrashing to get free.
Halloween lands in the middle of fall migration, when millions of birds are moving through yards at night.
If you're doing fake webs, hang them up inside. If you find an animal tangled, call a wildlife rehabber instead of cutting it loose yourself. It can be hurt in ways you can't see.
Monarch butterfly numbers climbed 64% this season, thanks in part to the growing number of people creating pollinator gardens. It’s a clear reminder of what shared purpose can accomplish. Look what we did
Their recovery is still fragile, though, so continuing, and expanding those plantings next year remains essential.
💔BURGER has such a sad story and now he's going to be euthanized Wednesday 10/14 if No one saves him💔
📍SAN BERNARDINO, CA SHELTER
💔His Story: Burger was surrendered by his owner in August 2026. He was very thin and lethargic and had several scars around his muzzle, face and chest. Within a couple of weeks, he became very sick. He clearly was never vaccinated or given proper care. PCR test results showed Mycoplasma cynos +, Canine Pneumovirus +
He was treated with antibiotics and has since improved, but he's so terrified in the shelter. His past life must have been HELL for him.
Burger is now on the 10/14/26 euthanasia list at City of San Bernardino Animal Services for the length of time he's been there. No one wants to adopt a scared and scarred dog. I hope a kind soul feels this is their mission and saves Burger's life. He deserves it.🥺❤️🙏
Here's his info:
