Miranda Lambert, Karma, Antonio, Maru, Baby Foxes & New Van Will Help Save Countless at Rescue TV!

Last week, Nashville, Tennessee was hit with terrifying, deadly tornadoes. It was devastating for all who live there and love the city.

People were killed and many are hurt. Animals were also affected. Country stars were deeply concerned for the people of their cultural hub, and Miranda Lambert is concerned about not just people, but the animals. She’s been working on helping animals displaced by the tornadoes.

Lambert visited Metro Animal Care and Control in Nashville over the weekend to visit the animals and see what she can do to help. She shared the following video encouraging people to donate.

She encouraged people to donate money or supplies and volunteer at their local shelters. According to iHeartRadio, “She promised to match all monetary donations made to her MuttNation Foundation up to $37,500 with the goal of raising a total of $75,000,” and “In less than 24 hours, $11,000 was raised for shelters. As of Monday (March 9), $29,000 has been raised towards the $37,500 goal.”

Lambert also reminded those who cannot find their pets, that it’s likely they will be found at their local shelter, especially when the sounds and winds calm down and animals come out of hiding.

We are truly happy to report that Karma, who was rescued in January, has befriended Kalpana and Holly.

Since they met a few days ago the trio has been joined at the hip.

The three of them have gone swimming in a pool and have taken strolls together. But mostly, they enjoy embracing one another with their trunks.

Because Karma is blind, her world was both lonely and dark before she was rescued.

Now her loneliness is gone and she has a family of her own.

Thank you for making her rescue possible!

Someone kicked a Golden Retriever so hard until he almost died.

Right after rescuing Masik from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCstF... (1.8 million views). We received another call on the Hope For Paws emergency line. A Golden Retriever was laying down for many hours, unresponsive, and Loreta Frankonyte and I knew it was an emergency. Of course, there was no way for us to know how badly he was injured (nothing was visible), but we could tell that something was wrong internally.

After the rescue, we named him Antonio, and rushed to see Dr. Pedraza. He told us that looking at the ultrasound images, it looks like he was kicked really hard. He didn't believe that the dog was hit by a car because there were no signs of that - no road rash, no broken bones, no visible trauma that is always present in cases where dogs are hit by cars... it was a hit that injured his liver and spleen.

Because of the injury, Antonio was bleeding internally, and the doctor told us that if we didn't get to him that day, he would have bled internally and would have died within hours. After the surgery, he continued to our friends at The Little Red Dog: http://www.TheLittleRedDog.org and the rest of this story is in this video

When you donate to Hope For Paws, you are enabling us to spend more time rescuing and less time fundraising for these surgeries.

If you can, please join us today and become a Hope For Paws member - even a $5 monthly donation would be an amazing help: https://www.HopeForPaws.org

You can follow Antonio (Toni) on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/toni_pepper...

Grounded BUZZARD nursed back to health!

Common buzzards (also called hawks in the USA) are quite common patients here at the centre. This one arrived with us after being found on the ground with a nasty injury below its left eye. Luckily, Maru was on the case and soon had the bird feeling good as new! Apologies for the filming in this video... Simon had the camera!

Orphaned Baby Foxes meet their human carers!

This time of year is known as 'orphan season' here at Wildlife Aid. From now until the Autumn, orphaned and injured animals start flooding into the centre and every pen at the centre will be full! This year, our first new arrival was a very cute fox cub, who arrived at the centre after being abandoned by his mother. Here is his story...

New Van Will Help Us Save Countless Animals!

Simply surviving on the busy streets is an everyday struggle for homeless cats and dogs, but at In Defense of Animals India, we're doing everything we can to help them, and to change attitudes about them. Now, we're celebrating a major gift that’s going to help us save more lives at our Lonavala Center! LEARN MORE

Volunteer with the Animal Rescue Team

One of the most commonly asked questions for our Animal Rescue Team is, “How can I volunteer?” Our team has—and relies on—a strong network of volunteers to help us make a real difference for animals in rescue and disaster relief work. We truly depend on them to help us get this important, lifesaving work done.

One of the most common mistakes prospective volunteers make is waiting until a natural or man-made disaster strikes to begin the application process and to begin proper training and preparation for becoming an Animal Rescue Team volunteer. Unfortunately, by then, it’s too late. If you want to volunteer, it’s important to apply before a disaster. If you get everything done early, you, like our many other volunteers, will be ready to deploy when animals need our help.

I can’t speak enough to the impact people feel from saving animals in need. If you want to make a difference, this is a way to do it. I encourage you to start your application today. With hurricane season on the horizon, our team will be ready to deploy at a moment’s notice - The Humane Society of the United States

Rescue TV at Roku, Davey, #ProtectMillions, #Conan, #TeamCoco, Kenshi, Knödel & Swan Family Reunion!

The SAN Rescue Network, Wildlife Aid TV, Official PETA TV, Flying Fur Animal Rescue, Animals Asia, ASPCA, Hope For PAWS, Beagle Freedom Project...

Meet Davey

Davey broke into the sanctuary. No, we’re not kidding! He was being raised for slaughter next door, broke into Animal Place, and added himself to the herd. Our animal care director convinced our neighbor to let Davey stay at the sanctuary forever.

Family reunion for rescued Baby Swan!

As regular viewers of this channel know, netting is a common cause of admission for patients here at Wildlife Aid.

This little cygnet was one such case. He had become tangled in discarded netting and was left with a small wound as a result, but our vet team soon had him fixed up and reunited with his family!

#HopeForPaws #Conan #TeamCoco Conan lived on the street and wouldn't surrender to me until I offered him a cheeseburger.

Today I need your help with special unique names for our rescues.

Please submit your name suggestion here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/Name

Bears encouraged to participate in their own veterinary care at Animals Asia's sanctuaries.

Not everyone likes to go to the doctor, however the bears at Animals Asia’s sanctuaries in Vietnam and China enjoy it more than most.

This is because all of the bears in Animals Asia’s care are encouraged to help participate in their own health care. Our bear care teams work hard to develop rewarding and trusting relationships with the bears resulting in better health outcomes and less stress for the bears and their carers alike.

This is a far cry from the training some of our bears will have experienced in circuses where punishment is used to force them into performing for human entertainment. Our teams only use positive reinforcement with a range of treats that the bears particularly enjoy, which they come to associate with completing specific actions.

Dog Goh on Silk Island

#ProtectMillions - Goh is one of many dogs living on Silk Island. Unfortunately he was treated with a human medication which led to hair loss and other rather severe health problems. As you can see, he is not in a good condition - and to make things worse, the poor guy is also blind and constantly running against obstacles.

Wir took care of Goh, bathed and cleaned him and treated his wounds and infections. However, he will still need support in the future. Please keep up your fantastic help so we can continue our work on Silk Island️ http://bit.ly/3bPfmlh

Vet rescues FEISTY bat from a STICKY situation!

We deal with every species of UK wild animal here at Wildlife Aid, and many of them arrive in quite odd situations! Fly paper is a pet peeve of our vet team, we regularly see birds, insects, rodents and even bats stuck to it, leading to a horribly slow death if not helped. This little pipistrelle was one such case but, luckily, our vet team soon had him cleaned up and ready to return to the wild!

This Dog Was Chained to a Cinderblock—See Him Now!

For two years, Ziggy the dog was kept chained to a cinderblock, desperate for love and companionship—but as this new PETA video shows, everything changed when PETA's fieldworkers finally persuaded his owner to let him go to a new home. Now, he has a warm house, friends to play with, comfy beds to snuggle in, and the loving family he wanted so badly.

TRAPPED duck and ducklings given a helping hand to water!

As we move into our busiest time of year, cases like this will, sadly, be a common sight here at Wildlife Aid! After a female mallard laid her eggs in the middle of a block of flats (with no access to water), Simon, Ed and Stuart set off to help. Using Simon's proven 'keep-net trick', the team eventually managed to persuade the entire family inside and they were soon relocated to a much nicer body of water!

Blind kitten sits in a parking lot and wonders how will she survive in this world.

Luckily for Kenshi, Hope For Paws got a call about her, and things turned around quickly once JoAnn Wiltz and Katie McKittrick arrived. I really hope this will help convince you to join us with a small donation: https://www.HopeForPaws.org

Two days after the rescue, the mom, dad and the two siblings were captured too. The mom and dad never had human contact, so Loreta Hernandez and Jessica Holguin got them spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and released.

They are fed daily, and they are happy. It is important to understand that there are THREE MILLION feral cats in Los Angeles and it's a real challenge. The best we can do is to try and get as many as possible fixed. Kitten season is almost here, and it's just a nightmare to be born to these conditions and I feel so sad for the ones we never hear about.

If you would like to see a longer version that includes the surgical procedure, you can see it here: https://rumble.com/user/HopeForPaws - it's not for everybody... the surgery shows the removal of the eyes, but it really brings you closer to the things they have to deal with.

Kenshi was adopted to the most amazing home - you just have to see this kitten with the dogs at the end!

Kung Lao and Raiden are still looking for a home, and if you would like to adopt them, please contact our friends at: https://www.KittyBungalow.org

Thanks for sharing our videos with your friends who LOVE cats :-)

National Justice for Animals Week starts on Sunday! This annual campaign is critical for everyone who cares about protecting defenseless animals — and it’s a chance for us to make twice the impact together. Be a part of the Animal Legal Defense Fund.

We began National Justice for Animals Week because of animals like Chuck the duck, whose story I’m about to share with you. We’re aiming to raise every dollar of this matching gift offer in just one week to fight for justice for animal victims of cruelty and neglect — and we need your help to do it.

Chuck was rescued along with nearly 150 other animals from a horrific hoarding situation in Carroll County, Tennessee. He was found in a cage with a duck who had died, and was himself filthy, emaciated, and dehydrated. Veterinarians feared the worst for Chuck. But after weeks of care at Animal Rescue Corps’ Rescue Operation Center, Chuck was healthy enough to be moved to Redemption Road Rescue, where he could receive further care and be with other ducks. Don, today Chuck is flourishing. What’s more, his rescue, along with the other 150 animals, set a legal precedent affirming the constitutionality of the bond-or-forfeiture law — an important law that requires animal abusers to pay for the care of their victims during the legal proceedings or relinquish their ownership. Without your help, Chuck’s story could have turned out very differently. That is the lifesaving power of your support. There are more animals who desperately need our help, and our ability to fight for them depends on you. Please be part of National Justice for Animals Week today.

For 2.5 years, these hens lived in cages so small they could barely spread their wings.

You can see that their nails grew long, often curving around the wire beneath them. And on Monday, these hens saw freedom for the first time! Your help liberates one hen from a cage and provides her with two weeks of care.  Rescuers awoke at 2 am, drove to the egg farm, and legally liberated 310 hens. I wish you could have been with our team - you could better understand how horrific these farms really are. Beneath the rows of cages is 2.5 years worth of feces, piled almost 3 feet high. The stench is unbearable.  It took nearly two hours from start to finish to free the hens from their cages, and then it was off to our Petaluma Rescue & Adoption Center for a short quarantine and health checks. This is the first time the newly built chicken barn at the Rescue & Adoption center has been used for rescued hens! The shelter is not fully up and running, so today the birds are coming up to our Grass Valley sanctuary for the remainder of their quarantine.  Your help frees two hens from their cage and provides them with two weeks of care before they go to their forever homes.  This farm is a conventional egg farm raising white leghorns for 1-2.5 years. The birds are all de-beaked, in which a portion of their nerve-rich beak is cut off. And, sadly, all of their brothers were ground up alive at the hatchery. You will not hear the clear call of a rooster at this farm. With your help, five hens are freed and cared for for the next two weeks. Right now, the hens will be on a quarantine, treated for parasites, and then rehomed with sanctuaries and private homes. And you can be their hen hero with a gift today toward their care.

Racoon Knödel at TIERART

Meet our fluffy raccoon Knödel, who is living at our sanctuary TIERART along with 32 other raccoons! Knödel arrived at the sanctuary in 2014, as an orphaned cub at only 8 weeks old. As he was raised by the team and fed with a bottle, Knödel very friendly and comfortable with the staff. Currently, construction is underway at TIERART for a new specialised station for young raccoons, this means even more raccoons like Knödel can be saved! These active little animals love to keep busy, and a few days ago we filmed when caretaker Hannah prepared some enrichment for him. As you can see for yourself, he couldn`t wait to discover what`s in it! He is one chubby and healthy raccoon who loves exploring for more

Motorworks Brewing, Shelter Manatee, Fasby, Bait Dogs & 300 Chickens being Rescued Now at Rescue TV!

The SAN Rescue Network, Wildlife Aid TV, Official PETA TV, Flying Fur Animal Rescue, Animals Asia, ASPCA, Hope For PAWS, Beagle Freedom Project...

Motorworks Brewing in Bradenton, Fla., is labeling beer cans with dogs available for adoption in a unique promotion of animal rescues.

In partnership with Shelter Manatee, the brewery is selling cans of Kölsch lager featuring dogs in need of forever homes at the Manatee County adoption center. Each label contains a story about the featured dog, as well as information about Shelter Manatee’s plans to build a new shelter.

Since the project’s purpose is to advocate for adoption, there is no guarantee that the dogs on the cans will still be available at the time of purchase, but the rescue has plenty of equally adorable, loving dogs awaiting new families.

Brewery customers who aren’t currently looking to adopt a dog will still be helping animals in need, as a portion of the proceeds are donated to Shelter Manatee and will go towards the construction of its new facility.

“Money is going directly to the shelter for that,” the brewery’s director of sales and marketing, Barry Elwonger told Fox 13 News, “and we want to make sure that the people know about the different dogs that are looking for homes.”

The custom cans debuted last Sunday at an event featuring silent auctions, drink specials, and food trucks. Thus far, the campaign has received an overwhelming amount of support.

The beer is available in four-packs and cases of 24 at Motorworks Brewing in downtown Bradenton until it sells out. For more information, visit the brewery’s website.

A beer can campaign, intended to promote dog adoption in Bradenton, Fla., helped one Minnesota resident find her long-lost friend.

Monica Mathis of St. Paul, Minn., lost her beloved dog, Hazel, three years ago while living in Iowa. Recently, she noticed a picture of beer cans featuring dogs available for adoption on Facebook. One of the dogs had an uncanny resemblance to Hazel.

Skeptical because Florida is so far away from Minnesota, Mathis doubted that Day Day, a name given to the dog by the Manatee County Animal Shelter, could be Hazel. She decided to call the shelter to double-check, and they verified through records that the dog is actually Mathis’s long-lost companion.

“I really didn’t think I was ever going to see her again,” she told FOX9. “I’ve been thinking about her every day, but you know, that was my baby.”

As it turns out, Hazel is microchipped, but Mathis’s contact information was outdated, and the shelter was unsuccessful in locating her. Mathis had lost the contact information for the microchip company when she moved to Minnesota and was unable to update them.

“Keep track of exactly what company you use.” she told Fox13, “Make sure your stuff gets updated, especially if your pet goes missing, and don’t ever give up.”

No one knows how Hazel ended up in Florida. The non-profit Friends of Manatee County Animal Services will transport her to Minnesota in a few weeks, free-of-charge.

“I was so lucky,” Mathis said. “So lucky that I saw that … that she actually got picked and put on a can, because I would have probably never seen her again had I not seen that.”

Circuit Solicitor Byron E. Gipson

Scarred and malnourished, six dogs were found suffering in cages at a suspected dogfighting operation. One poor dog, kept in a small, homemade crate, had extensive scars and fresh bite wounds on his head, face and muzzle. These injuries are typically indicative of dogfighting or “baiting.”

After receiving calls about suspicious activity, officers in Columbia, S.C., found the heartbreaking scene, according to reports.

“Bait dogs,” tortured in an effort to train competing dogs, are generally tied up with their mouths taped shut and brutally attacked. Most of these animals suffer agonizing deaths.

The dogs supposed caretaker, Chasity Katherine Hammonds, has been arrested and charged with animal fighting and baiting.

These six dogs deserve justice. Sign this petition urging Circuit Solicitor Byron E. Gipson to treat this case with the severity it deserves and prosecute Hammonds to the fullest extent of the law, including a life-long ban on having animals.

Today on Monday, we are liberating 300 sweet birds from a battery cage egg farm. They have lived almost 2 years in a wire, metal cage. Their feet never touched the earth. They never felt the sun on their backs. They never flapped their wings or raced across a pasture. Soon, they will be free.

The Animal Place team is excited, though this rescue does not come without its challenges. To name a few:

• The chicken barn at the Rescue & Adoption Center in Petaluma is finally up...BUT it has no water or power running to it.

• We hired a manager for the property, but he started training last week!

• We have not yet hired other staffing for the Rescue & Adoption Center.

But, we’re making it happen. This will be the first group of lucky birds to step foot at the new Rescue & Adoption Center. Their stay in Petaluma will be short, though. They will be health-checked and tested for Newcastle. When results return, partnering sanctuaries will pick up their hens and the remainder will head back to Grass Valley where we prepared an open barn for them.

They will spend 10 days being cared for until they are re-treated for parasites and placed into pre-screened, pre-approved forever homes. Any bird who exhibits illness will remain at our sanctuary as permanent residents.

We will share photos and video of the hens when they get to Petaluma. I’m sure you will love seeing these girls fly free for the first time! (If you can’t wait, here’s a video from another rescue).

How can you help? Follow us on facebook, and keep your eyes peeled for our livestream on Monday. We’ll show you the transport, arrival, and release of the birds! You can also donate to our facebook fundraiser, to help pay for supplies, transport, and medical costs.

We can’t wait to meet 300 precious individuals, and share the experience with you!

Dillan Rescue Update: Relaxing at The Wild Animal Sanctuary

Dillan, a morbidly obese Asiatic black bear who suffered for years at the Union County Sportsmen's Club in Millmont, PA, is now relaxing at The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, CO. Dillan had spent his days rocking back and forth, a sign of extreme distress and likely pain from his severe dental disease, but since arriving at the sanctuary, he no longer exhibits this abnormal behavior. He is on the road to recovery and will soon be released into multi-acre naturalistic habitat where he'll be able to roam, forage for food, hibernate, and finally be a bear.

Fox gets his HEAD stuck in a METAL PIPE!

We've seen foxes stuck in everything from garden fences to car tyres, but this particular patient (filmed for Wildlife SOS series 9) left us scratching our heads a little! He was rushed into the centre after the RSPCA found him with his whole head stuck in a metal pipe. Despite efforts, Simon and the team were unable to dislodge him with the plastic funnel technique, so it was time to break out the power tools...

Fixing a buzzards BROKEN BEAK... like a dentist!

In our line of work, we always have to be ready to adapt to any situation that comes our way. When this buzzard arrived at the centre with a fractured beak after an impact, our vet team had to think of a way to fix it quickly! Using a special cement used in human dentistry, Maru (our lead vet) carefully set everything back into place before leaving the bird to recover for three weeks. Amazingly, her work was a complete success and the buzzard was soon able to fly free once more!

This bird is covered in GLUE! Can we save it?!

This pigeon was recently admitted to the centre covered in an unknown sticky substance. Although initial reports thought it to be tar, further investigation found it to be glue - likely from a glue trap or flypaper. Pigeons, like all birds, have very delicate feathers, and our vet team spent several days making sure this little guy was fit for release once again!

The future of The Wildlife Aid Foundation! Simon will be talking about the future of Wildlife Aid and what that entails.

From humble beginnings The Wildlife Aid Foundation has grown into one of the most influential and experienced wildlife care charities in the UK. It is based at the same site it was first established on almost 40 years ago, a site which can no longer accommodate the charity’s growing workload and ambition. We have outgrown our home, and we need to move.

For almost a decade we have been investigating relocation possibilities and, thanks to a generous legacy left to us in 2014, we were able to purchase 20-acres of land less than a mile from our current site in Surrey. In 2017 we were granted planning permission to build a new centre on this land... here are our plans for the future!

We can only make this happen with your help. If you would like to support us, please see www.wildlifeaid.org.uk/thewildlifeaidcentre/ for details.
