Heroes Of The Month: Celebrating Rescued Animals And Their Rescuers (October 2020)
Every single month, animals find themselves in precarious situations for various different reasons. And every single month, the lucky ones get saved by some incredible people. We attempt to bring you as many of these stories as possible as they come out, but there are just too many of them. When you think about it, that's really amazing, having too many happy rescue stories to cover.
But since we can't cover all of them throughout the month, we've decided to collect some of these stories for you at the end of each month in a list right here to celebrate these incredible people who put their love and effort into saving animals and the animals that they celebrated. Even so, we will never be able to cover them all, but this is a start, and the people in this list are definitely deserving of more appreciation.
So, let's say thank you together and hope that next month, there will again be too many rescue stories to cover!

Mommy Dog And Her Seven Puppies
A Labrador-Pitbull mix and her seven puppies who were less than 2 weeks old were rescued after a 2 hour operation. After witnesses claimed that they couldn't find the dog who just had puppies, medical technicians from the Arizona Humane Society began searching for them, and ultimately found them in a pile underneath a home.
Without both the medical technicians and the concerned citizens, there's no telling what would have happened to the family of doggies, and we are thankful to both.
