He didn’t understand why the car ride ended at a shelter.💔

He didn’t understand why his person walked away.
All he knew was… they weren’t coming back.

He pressed his head against the cold floor, eyes full of confusion and heartbreak.
Every time someone passed his kennel, he lifted his head hoping it was them.
But the door never opened.

He wasn’t aggressive.
He wasn’t “broken.”
He was devoted… and devastated.

Dogs don’t just miss their owners.
They grieve them like family.
Because that’s what we are to them.

Please…
If you ever decide to bring a dog into your life, remember:
To them, it’s forever. Tweets of Dogs💔

Original 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞: 8/14 𝐚𝐭 𝟐𝐏𝐌

LAURENCE came into the shelter as a stray on 7/23/26 after spending three days with the person who found him at his new home. They described LAURENCE as "fearful at first but FRIENDLY".

LAURENCE has been kenneled with other since coming into the shelter. On 8/9 he had a minor altercation with one of his kennel mates DURING KENNEL CLEANING where staff close off half the kennel to clean and the dogs are all forced into the other side and divider closed.......

LAURENCE was subsequently moved to a different kennel. Staff now say he has been barrier reactive on 8/11 when they walked past him, doing their rounds.

It's a shame they can't get those out of their kennels for some excersise and enrichment more often.

PLEASE HELP LAURENCE get outta there alive 🙏

LAURENCE can be responsibly ADOPTED or he can be FOSTERED for a rescue if you can offer him stability and commitment until he gets his Furever home.

LAURENCE is listed as a male black and brown German Shepherd mix of about 2️⃣ years old weighing 3️⃣ years old weighing 79lbs.

Staff say.......

"Laurence is in need of placement due to behavioral concerns and is not thriving in the shelter environment.

A home or rescue setting may provide a better opportunity for decompression, continued assessment, and appropriate behavioral support.

Placement with an experienced adopter or rescue partner is needed by the deadline listed above.

Interested adopters may contact the shelter for more information.

Approved rescue partners receive the animal’s available records and updates by email. Organizations interested in becoming an approved rescue partner may contact us for more information.‼️

Per this story on CNN, the US Navy is reconsidering naming the next Ford-class carrier after Doris Miller and possibly naming it after Disaster Donnie. 🙄 What an insult to a hero who showed more courage and honor than any Trump stain on humanity ever did. 😡

🆘️Sweet Penny WILL be euthanized if not rescued or adopted by end of day Thursday 8/20.🆘️

🐾 Penny ID: #A5358626

Pit Bull ~ Female

6 years 11 months and 71 lbs

➡️ https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/dacc-details/?animalId=A5358626

💔Penny was owner-surrendered to our shelter just a couple of weeks ago. None of this was her fault, yet she’s the one who will face the consequences.

She is truly such a good girl. Penny loves people, loves other dogs, and has the cutest, spunky little moments that come out of nowhere. She has a personality that will make you smile and, honestly, you’ll be hard-pressed to have a bad day when Penny is by your side. 🥹❤️

If you can adopt Penny, please don’t wait to the shelter—just show up and ask for her. She needs someone to give her the second chance she deserves.

💙🐶 Frasier #A2091306

8/14 Stray | Labrador Retriever Mix | Male | 11 Weeks | 11.0 lbs | Heartworm N/A

💙 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Frasier #A2091306. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/14/26: Frasier was found as one of six loose dogs at Coolwood Head Start.

💖 Frasier is just an 11-week-old baby who has already had a difficult start to life. At only 11 pounds, he arrived at the shelter with an older fracture to his front right leg that has been healing crooked. Despite his injury, the shelter notes that he can be adopted as he is, with further veterinary care pursued later if needed. This little puppy deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home instead of losing his life at the shelter.

🩺 Medical Notes:

8/14/26: Front right leg appeared to have an older injury/break. Frasier was limping.

8/15/26: Frasier's front right leg appears to have an older injury/fracture with a large, hard callus just above the carpus. He is limping. The fracture is healing but is crooked/deviated laterally. The shelter notes that his limp appears to be related more to the crooked healing than pain. He can be adopted in his current condition, with further veterinary care pursued later if desired.

A mama dog and her five puppies got dumped at a South Carolina car wash with the mother muzzled and the babies stuffed in a bag.💔

Animal control picked them up and took them to a shelter. A week later the place ran out of room and put the whole family on the euthanasia list.

A couple from Savannah saw the post, drove over the same day, and pulled them out. Mama is named Kiara. The pups are about five or six weeks old and all doing fine now.

Whoever left them like that is pure garbage. These people stepped up and gave the family a real shot.

Good on the Greens. More of that, less of the other.❤️

! URGENT EUTH LISTED - HOPPER'S dealine passed on 8/14 !! Tustin CA, 2 year old male needs a savior NOW!

​

His life is at risk. Hopper needs a rescue plan NOW or he may be euthanized by OC Animal Care.

Hopper is only 2 years old. He was found wandering the streets of Santa Ana. The person who found him had no issues capturing him and even spent a week walking him around the neighborhood, trying to find someone who knew him.

Then he arrived at the shelter.

Hopper was nervous during intake. When staff approached him with a leash, he growled and showed his teeth. Since then, shelter staff report that he comes to the kennel door, hard stares, shows whale eye, becomes stiff, and growls.

But there is an important detail in his notes:

"When you reach for him he does not try to bite, he is just stiff and growling."

We don't know what Hopper experienced before he was found. We don't know why a 2-year-old dog was wandering the streets wearing a choke chain and rope leash. We only know that someone was able to safely capture him and walk him around the neighborhood - and now, inside a frightening shelter environment, he is defensive and afraid.

And that fear may cost him his life.

Hopper currently has no owner coming for him and no safe home waiting for him. He needs an experienced person willing to stand up for him when he needs it most.

HOPPER NEEDS RESCUE BY 8/14/26.

Please SHARE, PLEDGE, and help find a rescue/foster who can safely take him.

And that fear may cost him his life.

💔 JULIA is a stunning young girl who is terrified in the shelter environment. Watching her freeze in fear while being videoed is heartbreaking. She desperately needs someone to comfort her, give her time, and show her that she is safe.

Sadly, fear in a shelter can make a dog appear like she “doesn’t show well.” Please don’t let JULIA’s fear become a death sentence. She deserves the chance to decompress in a loving home where she can finally feel safe.

If you’re interested in JULIA, please come meet her. Staff can bring her out of her kennel for a meet-and-greet so you can see the sweet girl behind the fear.

The governor Wisconsin needs.

Not a volunteer or campaign member, just an average Wisconsinite who sees someone who can massively benefit our state, recourses and citizens. And with policies like she’s got I can’t really disagree, especially from what I’ve seen from other democrats running in the race, idk about anyone else, but I’ll be casting my vote in hong’s direction.

rather than me telling you how amazing
all her policies are, I’ll leave the link so anyone
with further interest can read up on her policies
for themselves

https://francescahong.com/policy/

Like i previously stated I don’t work with hong or volunteer for her.. I’m just an average Wisconsinite who has lived here my entire life, sees the flaws in our national government, and the possible outcome for Wisconsin if Tiffany wins ( yes he will be worse than Scott walker..)
but with Francesca hong i see a politician who is willing to make a change and stand up to the national government if need be.
I firmly believe she is the best choice for Wisconsinites and Wisconsin in general across the board.

Just had my salary threatened for "mistakes."

Well, the salary of everyone in my department. A manager IM'd everyone and said if we don't stop making "mistakes" that cause our company to have to resubmit paperwork at $28 a pop, the cost will come out of the department's budget for performance bonuses and salary.

The horrible mistakes? Minor typos and processing errors. But we're supposed to work as fast as possible...

Geography ignorance

Just got off YouTube where I was reading the comments on the new The Odyssey trailer, and someone complained about there being a black person in a movie about a Greek myth. Someone else replied that it was Hollywood putting them in where they didn't belong...

WTF?

Africa makes up the entire southern coast of the Mediterranean! If the ancient Egyptians knew about darker skinned Africans, so to did the ancient Greeks! They act as if there was no contact between Europe and Sub-Saharian Africa until the Age of Discovery. Ancient humans actually walked from Africa into Europe for crying out loud!

I guess this rant is both about ignorance of geography and history, but it just burns me that people think that there could absolutely be no black people in the ancient world. Thanks for reading.
