As animal lovers, we know how uncertain life can be for injured, disabled and abandoned pets. As animal rescuers, we also know that every animal deserves a chance at life — even the ones that need a bit more TLC.

Penny, Schoep and Sierra are three animals whose lives were saved by dedicated pet heroes. Read their amazing stories.

Penny



Dumped in a carpark at 9 weeks old, this tiny Dachshund/Jack Russell Terrier mix had serious problems with her lower back and hind legs. The shelter didn’t even put her up for adoption because they assumed no one would want her. But two benevolent owners took Penny home the next day and paid for a full vet exam. Her prognosis was not good: an MRI showed multiple neurological disorders and serious coordination problems. No one would have faulted them for returning her to the shelter, but her owners did no such thing. They vowed to give Penny the greatest life they could, and they’ve been doing so ever since.
