When a mailman on his route in St. Louis spotted a little dog with a giant swollen cheek he decided to make a special delivery.
Stray Rescue of St. Louis shared photos of the sweet dog now named Parcel and shared how Parcel came to be rescued.
They wrote on their Facebook page, “Last week the kindest mailman saw this dog on his route and STOPPED! Oh! This poor dog needed emergency medical help!”
They continued, “He couldn’t leave her so he kept her safe in his van and we went to meet him and pick her up.” Parcel was wagging her tail when Donna met her and extended her hand.
As a result, her saliva is pooling and causing an infection. The group said it will likely need to be removed via a specialty surgery.
It’s not clear how it happened but Stray Rescue says it “could have happened after hitting her head or getting hit with something.”
But one thing is clear. They are happy she will be getting the help she needs. “She’s so petite and so sweet,” they add. “This is why it is so important we rescue, there are babies in need everywhere!”
Parcel is looking better already and look at those pretty pink nails.

But Parcel is just one of the many dogs who need fostering and adopting at Stray Rescue. In fact, the rescue says that Parcel is the last dog they rescued before they went down into a freeze-mode because they are absolutely at capacity and cannot rescue until they clear space.
“The sooner we get 20 fosters or adopters, the sooner we can be back on the streets,” they write. “These babies need us!!”
On Sunday, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s office took to social media to provide an important update concerning a distressing incident involving a baby goat named Nibbles, discovered in a precarious situation weeks earlier. 
In a tragic turn of events in Spalding County, the community is mourning the loss of 11-year-old Katelyn Simons, whose life was cut short in a devastating house fire. According to family members and local authorities, the fire engulfed her home on Sidney Drive, just outside of Griffin city limits, on a Saturday night. 
Some pets have the odds stacked against them — they can come from rough backgrounds or have health issues that give them only a short time to live.
But with a little love and care, some dogs defy the odds and live long and happy lives — like one rescue pup, who was only given six months to live but defied all the odds thanks to her family’s love.
Petey, the rescue dog, has always exuded joy, despite the challenges he’s faced. At just one-year-old, he had become the longest-standing resident at a small, overburdened county shelter in North Carolina. The shelter, struggling with capacity issues, had extended Petey’s stay beyond the norm. With no adopters on the horizon, the shelter contacted the SPCA of Wake County, hoping they could offer Petey more time to find a forever home. The SPCA readily agreed to take him in. 
The owner of this horse ranch was going around looking after his horse and was taking some pictures to show his family. It was later that night when he was inside by the fire that he spotted something weird. He had to really inspect the photo to see the real reason the horses mouth looked like that.
A mother’s love knows no limits, and when her children are taken away, her heart calls out until they are found. Earlier this week in Wolcott,a heart-wrenching story of Mya, a devoted mother dog, was found abandoned at the local animal control, her cries of confusion and distress echoing a mother’s despair for her missing babies—seven puppies who had vanished without a trace.
But as the week progressed, Mya’s sorrow took a hopeful turn.
