#MyUnspokenPet with Dog and Cat

Our pets can't speak, but we often speak for them. These are their stories.

Rescued pets from shelters and rescues alike often come into our lives and our families without a full background or an in depth story of where they came from. We often don’t really know what happened to them before our lives crossed paths. Based on what we learn about our pets, we often create stories about what we THINK happened. Though we can’t be sure these stories are correct, they help connect us as humans with our pets.

Sometimes these stories are happy or funny. Other times they might be sad and hard to stomach. But we know that every story is a story of resilience, survival, strength, and love in the end.

Join All Pet Voices + CUDDLY to share stories of YOUR pets and their history from before you adopted them by posting on social media with the hashtag #MyUnspokenPet.

CAPTAIN JASPER;
.
We rescued him 5 years ago from California City shelter. He was found TWICE roaming by an open road between cactus and tumble weed in the extreme heat.
He has never had teeth, and is only 3 pounds.
.
There is absolutely nothing about him that isn't just preciousness. We think he is closer to 19. He loves his food julienned. He loves angel hair pasta, and sucks it down like a bird.
JASPER'S tongue has always been out, we make sure we keep it wet, and that his food is soft and home made.
.
To say that our precious senior boy is a JOY, is the understatement of the WORLD.
.
JASPER is representative of our rescue. We adore senior dogs, and will always, always do our best to rescue as many as possible. Senior dogs are extra special, they are just so loving and grateful.
.
Please always keep your heart open to a senior dog, as Jasper has brought so much JOY into our hearts and home.
.
Happy Senior Sunday...cheers to almost 20 years.
I love you J

Oct 11

It’s been a lovely six months with my sweet Peanut. After the lockdown in March, I wanted to foster and when I saw this photo of Peanut I knew I had to snuggle her. A little older than a year, she was surrendered at a shelter because her owners didn’t like her cherry eye (I mean, come on)Luckily by March, she was in an amazing foster home (chadamferraripires + demsdownunder ) so I thought okay yeah let’s just adopt this chicken nugget!!! She wouldn’t stop barking at me until the third time we met but I had a good feeling about her.Quarantine would’ve been pretty miserable without her and I’m so happy and lucky to have found lil P. #myunspokenpet #istandwithmypack #adoptdontshop #cheaglesofinstagram #cheagle

Sep 25

This is Mister Pig Pig. The lovely people at tailstothewind chose my family and me to adopt him! His story is this, Tails to the Wind got a call about a hoarding situation where the man passed away. There were animals of all types, but in the yard along with Turkeys, Geese, Ducks, and 4 other pigs, was this sweet little face. Originally, we thought we’d foster him to help out with all the other animals they were taking in. Well, here we are a year and a half later he has become a permanent member and the biggest most HAM-some spoiled pig you will ever know. #myunspokenpet

Sep 26

Almost four months with this special boy. Forever grateful to tailstothewind for connecting us with Zeus, God of Thunder. All we know from his prior life is that he’d been given up on several times, and eventually made his way to tailstothewind in March. I can say after four months that I truly don’t understand how anyone could walk away from this incredible guy, but I’m selfishly glad they did so that we could give him the life he’s always deserved. ❤️❤️.

#myunspokenpet is a dream come true ♥️Almost a year ago, the sad little bag of bones pictured here found her way into the shelter malnourished, sick, over-bred, and near death. They named her Bambi.Just a few days later istandwithmypack saw her and saved two lives: miss Bambi’s and mine ♥️🐾Fast forward to 9 months later. Bambs and I are stuck to each other like glue. We’ve learned and healed together. She doubled her weight and has even fostered 7 friends from #istandwithmypack with similar stories. The world certainly hasn’t gotten any easier in 2020, but it’s a whole lot brighter because of Bambi. jophes_geen and I don’t know what we would do without our best friend!! ♥️To my fellow ISWMP adopters: please join me in sharing your adoption story to help istandwithmypack Win a grant from welovecuddly !

Oct 6

How do you walk away? You don’t. You put a plan together and then put him in the car. Or you put him in the car AND THEN put a plan together (🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️). Either way, you make it happen. And for this boy named Thor, it could be the chance of a lifetime... and his opportunity FOR LIFE. ✨
.
Since Thor’s Freedom Ride, we’ve really gotten to know this 50 pound little blue meatball. He’s 2-3 years old, house broken, and has been proving his good boy and good manners status with our trainers k9kommittee . Thor’s foster mama mediamadeline says he’s a wonderful cuddle bug and sends us the cutest pics of our very photogenic boy. Thor will thrive with a large dog savvy owner and will insist on being the only dog in his home. Hey, we get it. Who wants to share cuddles anyway? 🤗
.
October is National Pit Bull Awareness Month. We’re onboard to celebrate this inherently good breed by telling their rescue stories, showcasing their pure hearts, and getting them placed into wonderful, loving, appreciative and committed homes... so that we can do it all over again and RESCUE MORE. 💜
.
Now let’s start with Thor... #ADOPTME .

Oct 10

Today marks exactly 6 months since our family was first blessed with Plum. This is the first photo that I took of her the day she came home.She was so tiny when we first got her and you could see in her eyes that she had been fighting since the day she was born to stay alive. Plum was first rescued from the train tracks by ashley_felts who took her to deityanimalrescue. From there it was straight to the vet where she was diagnosed with Parvo. It was touch and go for days as she fought for her life. Deity angels Ellen and Lindsay were by her side reminding her why she needed to keep fighting. Once she was well enough to leave, Ellen took her home where she very slowly recovered and finally felt love for the first time. Ellen, her son, and their sweet pups formed a bond with Plum that can never be replaced as they nursed her back to life.That’s where we come in on this day 6 months ago. I still can’t believe Plum chose us to be her forever family. Every day with her has been a blessing. From day 1 we have promised her that every day will be better than the next, that she’ll never have to fight for her life again, and that she will forever be loved and protected (not just by us but by family, friends, and the army that fought for her on social media).Plum is a fighter. Her spirit is a force to be reckoned with and while she might be little, her personality fills every room in the house. She loves unconditionally and her snuggles can fix the worst of days. Her beautiful smile is contagious.Now Plum spends her days tormenting and playing with her big sister, adventuring with her parents, being smothered with love by her grandparents, family friends, and pup friends.Without deityanimalrescue there would be no Plum. We’ll never be able to repay them for saving her life and for trusting us to be her forever family but we’ll forever be trying. We share Plum’s story in hopes of helping other future Plum’s of the world and encourage everyone to help foster and/or adopt.Photos 1-3 are from the night we first brought her home. Photos 4-6 are of her smiling because a smile like that should be shared with the world. #MyUnspokenPet #deityanimalrescue

Thank you welovecuddly for awarding us with #myunspokenpet grant that will help medical dogs under our wing.❤️The reality is that a rescue is extremely expensive. Medical bill for just one animal can go as high as $15K and without help from people and organizations such as welovecuddly we would never be able to afford to help so many dogs with high medical needs. We are grateful for all of our supporters no matter of what their contribution is as there is no such thing as small contribution. And we are extremely fortunate to have organizations such as welovecuddly that support us. Please see their mission and contribute if you can.❤️We would also like to thank all of our wonderful adopters for taking their time to share stories of their rescuers pets and that way help us win this grant. Without all of you this wouldn’t happen. 💜 Thank you for choosing to adopt and becoming a part of the Pack.🖤 It takes a village and we are certainly grateful for ours!#istandwithmypack

Oct 9

I know that lots of people already know Toby’s story, many better than I do, but I wanted to post this for deityanimalrescue.

Toby, formerly known as Doobie, was a senior stray who could barely walk, was underweight, and was covered in lumps and bumps when he found himself at the shelter. With the help of some wonderful people at the shelter, and great efforts from his amazing foster mom larissawohl, Deity Animal Rescue gave Toby a second chance. His other amazing foster mom madigalapagos, helped love and care for him as she got him ready for his new life.

And then he joined this crazy household of animals and fit right in. He’s never shown any aggression towards a dog or cat. He loves comfy beds and regular meals. He enjoys his walks even though they are an exercise in patience for me. (He wants to sniff everything for so long.) He’s a sensitive boy who has to be told he’s not in trouble if I raise my voice at another dog. He’s gained weight and the other day he actually picked up a toy. He didn’t know what to do with it, but he almost played. Today he actually barked at something for the first time.

Thanks to Deity Animal Rescue, Toby got a new chance at a happy life and we got a sweet and loving family member.

Sep 30

My name is Lily, and not much is known about my life before I was rescued. All I know is that it was hard, and I was alone wandering the streets looking for a family. I’ve had a hard 2 years being on this planet up until istandwithmypack found me. I was at a shelter for 2 weeks, spayed, and given all the shots I needed to be a healthy pup. The rescue team knew I needed a family and named me “Lily” to match perfectly with my beautiful heart and sweet temperament. That day nikajns gave me my freedom ride to meet my foster mom and dad (tanyalehoux and jscottcampbellart) and only 2 days after taking me in, they fell in love with my sad eyes, and adopted me! 🥰 Since then my life has been so full of love, walks, snuggles, and treats. I finally have a family of my very own, and feel like the luckiest pup in the whole world thanks to so many amazing people and kind hearts. 🥰 🐶 ❤️ 🐾 #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives #myunspokenpet #lilythecoonhound #istandwithmypack #sweetbabygirl #yourehomenow #fosterfail #straydog

Oct 2

Meet Harlow, She was found in the streets of TJ with maggots in her eye, pregnant, and emaciated. She lost her eye through what vets have confirmed as blunt force trauma to the side of her head. She was rescued by bellavitarescue & is being fostered by susie.maggie.and.fosterfrens. Harlow is the mother to our new baby boy, Clark & his 4 siblings now adopted & loved by 3 loving families. When I first saw pictures of the pups & heard her story my heart melted. I had been debating adopting another dog and I knew this was the opportunity to find #myunspokenpet. Clark has brought so much love & happiness to my family & I couldn’t be more grateful to bellavitarescue for what they have done for Harlow & the many other animals they have helped. If you are considering getting a new pet, #ADOPT #DONTSHOP. Clark has settled in well with his new family, brothers & cousins. We are looking forward to eventually visit Harlow & reunite her with her babies so she can see how big & happy they are. Harlow still has a long way to recover as she is dealing with LOTS of medical issues. Please find it in your heart & donate to her Gofund Me to help her get the medical treatments she still needs.

Willie writes, “I was just a little puppy at really scary shelter. I had trouble walking and nobody wanted me. Luckily DeityAnimalRescue saw me and rescued me. They didn’t care that some people said it was a hopeless effort to try and help me. I wasn’t getting better on my own. The good news is the Deity family didn’t give up on me even when the experts seemed baffled. I did intense physical therapy every week with my foster mom chilberg for a year. It was very exhausting and hard, but everyone kept encouraging me and supporting my journey. And now, after a long recovery from a one of a kind surgery, I can run and play and walk just like a real dog! I’ve made so many friends too. All thanks to the time, attention, and care that DeityAnimalRescue was able to provide. I hope my story encourages more people to #adopt and helps DeityAnimalRescue get a grant so they can save more dogs like me.” 🙏❤️ #GoWillieGo #MyUnspokenPet welovecuddly

P.S. Willie, please give kiss chilberg a huge wet kiss from us. Because without her, none of this may have been possible. We love you both very much. 🙏🏻🌸 #fosteringsaveslives

Our sweet little miss Hannah.

Hannah ...

Oct 6

Our sweet little miss Hannah.
⠀
Hannah was found in Missourri tied up in an abandoned lot. From there she was brought to a shelter. When they decided her stay was over she was put on a list to be euthanized. When Michele heard her story she acted quickly and packed up her and the rest of the kill list to bring back to Michigan and give these babies a well deserved second chance. And on a rainy Thursday night Hannah came home to me. The saddest part about Hannah’s story is that she has clearly had a home and that home used her for her body and dumped her when she was no longer useful to them. She is crate trained, house trained and so obedient and well behaved, she was someone’s dog and that’s what makes her scars and signs of trauma and abuse so hard to see. She was let down by the people she loved most and that almost ended her life.
⠀
She shook for the first two days she was with us, I was told to help her decompress I had to give her distance but of course I caved and couldn’t continue to watch her suffer so I climbed into her crate and gave her a big squeeze and she melted. I thought she needed space and it turns out all she needed was some love. From then on we have watched her blossom into such a an amazing girl and best companion. She loves other dogs, people and kids. Her nurturing personality comes from her being bred over and over, she’s just a sweet mama that wants to love and protect her family. It took her some time but she is finally breathing a sigh of relief knowing her sadness and struggle is behind her. She is so at peace with her new reality and is beyond ready for her forever home.
⠀
I’m so grateful to be able to tell #myunspokenpet story and watch it continue into forever.
⠀
If you think Hannah could be a good fit for you apply michelesrescue 🤍
