Abandoned at 17, after losing everything and being abused and mistreated, Cinnamon came to the The Orphan Pet shelter angry, confused and full of hatred. And while the staff at the Greek animal shelter thought that her days were counted, she didn’t just survive, against all odds, she thrived.

For months it seemed her life would just be a sad requiem — she didn’t really seem to be making any progress, at least not towards trusting people. The staff at the shelter did their very best to give her a warm and welcoming home to spend her final days, and for months they believed that was all they could do. But Cinnamon wanted more from life, and in the end she was brave enough to trust her new human friends!

Her story reminds me of this quote about letting yourself be loved:

“Let someone love you just the way you are — as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”

Watch as this adorable English bulldog puppy takes a nap with his soft piggy friend. What makes an already impossibly cute video even cuter are the puppy’s teeny-tiny snores.

This is one of those few times where I actually want to hear snores. Too adorable!

To you and me it might seen like a simple innovation, designed to stop doors from slamming into walls, but Mango had never seen such a relentless foe before. No matter how many bites and kicks little Mango delivered, the door stopper simply wouldn’t give up, springing back into place every time.

Rumor has it that a “bwongggggg” sound can still be heard coming from Mango’s house to this day. He’s not one to give up easily.

These abused wolves need healing, both physical and emotional, if and when they are rescued. They’ve been through a lot…not unlike our veterans. There’s nothing more healing than companionship, and when two damaged souls come together, magic happens.

Veterans suffering from PTSD now have options other than traditional treatment and medication. It’s called wolf therapy. At Lockwood Animal Rescue Center, these veterans are getting back their nature.

Sometimes, all one person needs to be able to start the healing process is to see that healing is possible. The relationships that these wolves and their veterans form are truly lifesaving, and it’s so touching to see them come together like this.

An employee at the Borås zoo in Sweden was filming an adorable little elephant calf playing around and chasing after some birds when the poor little cutie took a stumble in the grass.

The baby elephant is named Chindi and according to the zoo the clumsy little guy is full of energy and loves nothing more than playing with the other animals.
