An 8-month-long nap? That sounds like my kind of nap! I seriously never knew any of these facts about sleepy animals, and I’m not sure what I liked more: learning the facts or seeing these adorable little fur babies at their cutest! Actually I am sure… did you see that second little puppy fall asleep?!?

I thought the first fact about the duck was the most fascinating. How can they shut off half of their brain for sleep? Do they alternate which half shuts down? I think I’m going to do some research about that, but first thing’s first; these little …read more

It’s not uncommon to walk into a few establishments and find an old dog hanging out inside and trying to get belly rubs from all the customers.

However, there is one business, Mountain Paint, in Asheville, North Carolina that is taking that notion and turning it completely upside down. You see, this paint store has started taking shelter dogs in, one by one, to live at the store in hopes of getting them adopted.

Right now they have Dexter, the second shelter dog brought in from Brother Wolf Animal Rescue, who was placed up for adoption after his owner moved into …read more

Last August Lauren Olson had one of the most impulsive decisions of her life, to adopt a dog she found online.

This dog had been living in a shelter and with an age approximation of 6-8 years-old, this Golden Retriever’s time was running out. Sadly, not too many people out there want to adopt an older dog, but Lauren took a chance.

She headed down to the Animal Haven shelter in the SoHo section of NYC and adopted Dakota! And lucky for us, Dakota’s first day was filmed and turned into one of the most adorable videos I’ve seen.

Taking just one …read more

Barabas arrived at the SOSD shelter in Singapore when he was on the verge of death. His owner failed to treat the huge head wound on Barabas’ head, and instead scheduled to have him put to sleep. Even though he was a senior dog — scared, injured and completely unsocialized — one of the doctors at the shelter decided to show Barabas unconditional love, rather than putting him down. With his support, Barabas became a happy, positive dog once again.

Through the rest of Barabas’s short life, he had many challenges, but the man who fostered him never once gave up …read more

Oh my goodness, what a sight to see — and what an incredible rescue! While out on the bay, a group of boaters spotted something swimming in the waters. As they moved in closer, they realized what they were looking at: 10 young Sitka Blacktail deer trying their hardest to swim across the bay together! It looked as though their journey would be a complete success, until two of the babies began to struggle. Instead of just passing them by, the boaters knew they needed to bring this family back together.

They rescued both babies, bringing them onto their boat and …read more

It’s tough being a pup with a new baby in the house… all of the baby’s toys make great chew toys, too! At least Charlie thinks so. When he stole one of our daughter’s toys, she immediately started crying, and Charlie knew he did something wrong.

The way he tried to “apologize” made my heart completely melt. Not only did he give her her toy back, he shared a few of his favorites with her as well. What a sweetie! I’m pretty sure Charlie’s going to make a great big brother to this little one, don’t you agree?

Be sure to SHARE …read more

If you stop by an IKEA showroom any time in the near future, you may be surprised to find something even more adorable than assembly-required tables and their famously quirky contraptions. The Animals Lovers League Shelter and Save Our Street Dogs Shelter recently teamed up with the Swedish furniture giant to create Home For Hope, a new collaboration created to help homeless dogs find loving families.

IKEA uses their smart design to help remind people that there are countless homeless canines living in shelters who need their help. The furniture company created life-size cardboard cutouts of photographs of homeless dogs and …read more

Charlie the Beagle puppy does not like to get up in the mornings, and this video is proof! There’s nothing cuter than the noises his makes to signify his desire to keep sleeping on the warm bathroom floor, and even his owners can’t help but laugh as they try to get him to come out! “Just five more minutes!” he seems to be saying!

I wonder if they eventually just let him sleep a little longer? When you’re as cute as Charlie is, it’s probably easy to get your way!

Please SHARE this funny dog!
