As Ukraine marks Journalist Day, at least 28 Ukrainian journalists remain in Russian captivity or are missing.
The people documenting Russian crimes continue to be detained, disappeared, prosecuted on fabricated charges, and denied basic rights in areas under Russian control.
Attempting to silence the messenger does not change the facts. Free Ukrainian journalists.
Meet Skye, one of our newest rescues.
Just 4 days ago, she was found completely alone and covered in fleas on a dusty construction site. She was completely broken💔
The moment we saw her, we knew right away that something wasn't right with her leg. We later discovered that she had likely been hit by a car as a tiny puppy. With no one to help her, the injury healed all on its own, leaving her leg permanently stiff.
But Skye is a fighter. Today, the real healing begins. We are taking it one day at a time, teaching her how to walk again and rebuilding the confidence she lost. She knows she is safe now. 🐾❤️
💔 TEDDY NEEDS A FOSTER BY 6PM TODAY OR HE MAY NOT LEAVE ALIVE 💔
A rescue group wants to save TEDDY, but they need one local foster in the Houston area. All expenses are covered. He just needs a safe place to go.
TEDDY is a sweet 2 year old, 57 lb male pittie mix. He is dog and people friendly, walks nicely on leash, is non-reactive to barking dogs, and is heartworm negative. He is also missing several toes on one front foot and has already been through too much.
🆘 TEDDY #A655720
Please message and email the shelter NOW to say help is coming for TEDDY:

Please don’t let the shelter be the last place he sees.

Melia has a new daughter. She might too young for solids, but that doesn't stop her giving it a good go.
Earlier this week, ex-orphan Melia walked up to our Ithumba Reintegration Unit in northern Tsavo and introduced her brand new baby girl to Head Keeper Benjamin and the team. We've named her Moon.
Moon is Melia's second – little sister to her firstborn Milo, who was born outside the same stockades back in 2022. The new arrival is bold and full of character.
Melia came into our care as a yearling in 2009, alone and far from any wild herd. Seventeen years on, she's a mother of two, living wild – and still bringing her family home to say hello.
Follow @SheldrickTrust for more from Moon and our wild-born family.
Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.
And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.
I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!

Also huge thanks to NAFO and Irish investigative journalists digging deeper into this case.

⛽ Algeria, Nigeria, and Niger are advancing a major trans-Saharan gas pipeline project that could deliver up to 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Europe each year.
The project comes as the EU seeks to further reduce its reliance on Russian energy.

Wonderful news from Ithumba: ex-orphan Tumaren debuted a brand new baby boy this evening!
We haven’t seen Tumaren for six months – but as our ex-orphans so often do, she journeyed home to introduce her baby to the people who raised her. Tuck, as we’ve named her newest addition, is just perfect. Tumaren’s firstborn, Tembo, is already proving to be an excellent big brother too, which is lovely to witness.
This is the second new arrival we’ve met this week, bringing our total tally of known wild-born babies to an astonishing 94.

All Paws ✈️ Alumnae still looking…
Dunne has traveled thousands of miles to find love—literally! After surviving life as a street dog abroad, he has blossomed into a soulful, well-mannered gentleman who is more than ready for a family of his own. He waits politely for his food, walks beautifully on a leash by your side, and sleeps peacefully through the night (no crate needed!). While he has moments of happy "zoomies" (a fenced yard would be his dream!), his favorite activity is simply curling up on the couch with his person.
Dunne is looking for a patient, steady best friend. Because of his past, he can be a little hand-shy and nervous around other dogs, so he needs someone who will continue to show him that he is safe. He promises to pay you back with loyalty and lifetime cuddles.

O tempo passa, mas a saudade permanece. Orelha virou símbolo de amor, lealdade e da luta por justiça.
Que sua história jamais seja esquecida.
Justiça por Orelha. Sempre. ✨🐕
Two years is a long time to wait for someone to choose you. 💔
Today Ella & Diva have hit TWO YEARS in rescue.
Two years of sleeping in temporary places.
Two years of routines changing.
Two years of people scrolling past because they aren’t “easy” dogs.
But here’s what we wish people understood:
Ella and Diva are not broken.
They are cautious.
They are deeply bonded.
They are dogs who need time, trust, and the right environment to feel safe.
And once they do? They love HARD.
Ella gives soft paws for attention and melts into belly rubs with her whole wiggle-butt going. Diva rolls on pillows in the morning, makes goofy sleep noises while “chasing bunnies,” and watches over the people she trusts most.
They have spent two years learning that the world can feel scary sometimes — but also learning that comfort exists in each other.
We know their home won’t be for everyone.
Quiet. Adult-only. Patient. Experienced. Calm.
But we also know their people are out there somewhere.
Maybe they just haven’t seen them yet.
