If you want to hear an interesting story, there is nothing better than an animal rescue story. With so many troubling news stories in the world, it’s so nice to hear some positive news.
When volunteers were returning to the Dog Rescue Shelter in Mlanovac, Serbia, they saw a dog stuck by the side of the road. The dog stood alone in the cold rain.
Volunteers tried to reach the dog, but the dog ran away, out of the way, and into the bushes. The dog was scared and started showing signs of aggression towards the rescuers as they approached him.
To entice the dog to safety, they used food. The dog took a long time to decide to trust them, but eventually did. The dog allowed them to pet her and put her in the car. They had to pick her up and bring her to the shelter.
Only a few months passed before “Lady” was adopted. The family that adopted her has a huge backyard for her to play in. They also have another dog, so Lady has a friend and sibling.
Statistics show that 39% more people now own dogs than there were ten years ago, and that 65% of dog owners choose to adopt rescue dogs. There are over 3 million dogs now in shelters in America alone.
It’s amazing to hear the story of a stray dog rescued by loving volunteers. It’s even better to know that the dog was adopted into a loving family. This uplifting news story reminds us all to cherish our pets and look to help whenever we can.
