This Animal Shelter Just Got 5,000 Dogs Adopted. But The Unexpected Way They Did It Is Brilliant!

If you want a good friend who loves and supports you unconditionally in everything you do, then look no further than your local animal shelter. There are countless animals of every breed, size, color, and temperament imaginable out there. They are just waiting to help someone who comes along in need of companionship and immeasurable joy.
Most people assume that when they adopt at a shelter they are saving an animal and helping them out. While this is partly true, the reverse of that thought is often a better way to describe the situation. Pets that we adopt are saving us, in more ways than one, and if you have a rescue animal at home you likely already know and understand why.
This was the idea behind a new adoption campaign at the Lost Dog’s Home, a shelter for dogs located in Australia. They thought of a great way to get people and their homeless dogs together, by way of “The Human Walking Program.”
The word was spread among office workers that at lunch and break times they would be able to spend time playing, walking, and hanging out with the dogs. It gave the workers a chance to get away from their desks for some fresh air and exercise, and the animals got much needed attention and exposure.
By the end of this adoption drive every single one of the over 5,000 adoptable dogs found a new home with an office worker. The program was an immense success and all of the rescued workers will now lead healthier lives because of it.
Being around dogs naturally makes humans more active. The animals love to play, take walks, chase things, and do all sorts of fun activities. Nothing is more relaxing and enjoyable than taking some time out of your busy day to hang out and spend some quality time bonding with your dog.
It’s a proven fact that people who own pets are better off because of it. Not only do they help to fulfill our social needs, they also improve our overall happiness, physical health, and well-being. People report that they are just as close, and oftentimes even closer, to their pets than they are to most of their family members!

Cat Sees a Fan For The First Time Ever. Now Watch His Friends Hilarious Next Move!
The world through the eyes of a cat is likely a weird and wonderful place. They must look around our houses and think what the heck is all this stuff for?! We can only guess at what they imagine all of our knick knacks and furnishings to be. It seems that some cats think our clothes are for sleeping on, carpets are for throwing up on, and plants are for chewing.
From their vantage point they are always looking up at our taller positioned furniture, counters, windows, doors, and so on. It’s no wonder that cats like to jump up on things and be at a height, so they can scan the room and see everything in it and what’s going on.
When people bring home new things their feline companions often have to thoroughly sniff and inspect it all. This is most often true when something new gets taken out of the box it came in. Expect a cat to jump right in and take it over. Boxes are familiar and user friendly to cats, they know exactly what they have to do when they see one.
However, there are some other items around our houses that randomly pique their interests and a few sometimes even shock and amaze them! Such was the case when two cats were introduced to a common ceiling fan.
The odd fixture suddenly coming to life, slowly rotating faster and faster until it was spinning around swiftly, was almost too much for the cats to take in. The sight transfixed the kitties as they stared up at it in curious wonderment.
It was almost as if they could reach out a paw and touch the fan, and so they both tried to do exactly that. The cooling breeze and rush of air it provided was also a thrilling new experience. The cats seem mystified and it’s as if they are wondering how this strange thing could magically move the air around.
The cute duo look quite perplexed and adorably innocent in the short clip. If you were a cat imagine how it would feel to see such a sight, not knowing the use or purpose of a fan. It would be very strange indeed.
It’s more than likely that five minutes later the cats had forgotten about the fan and moved on the more interesting stuff, like food or a new box. Thankfully, their owner captured this adorable moment on film and shared it for everyone to see, because we all love a good cat video!

THIS Cat Was Separated From His Human For Days. Now Watch Unexpected Reaction When He Gets up!
There seems to be an overwhelming consensus which posits the belief that cats are not affectionate towards humans. This false notion is absolutely absurd and nothing could be further from the truth. Cats are incredibly loving, warm, caring, and affectionate all the time towards their human companions, other animals, and each other.
If you need proof of feline affection then look no further than this video. In it a sweet cat named Dorian can be seen snuggling up to his best friend, a little boy named Cadyn. The cat’s owner filmed the overwhelming and adorable display of affection and explained that Cadyn is his nephew and had been gone for a few days when he went to stay at his mom’s house.
The kitty missed his best friend a lot and couldn’t wait for him to return. When Cadyn finally arrived home he was already asleep, but that didn’t stop Dorian from trying to hang out with him. The cat just cannot get enough of the kid and shows his love by trying to get as close as he possibly can to the sleeping boy. If that isn’t love then what is!?
Cats are truly full of positive energy, life, happiness, and more. They often extend these vibes and feelings toward their human counterparts. A lot of the ways in which they show their affection are simply misunderstood and not recognized by people. In a way, the signs and behaviors that cats use to communicate their love and affection are often lost in translation.
A cat holding it’s tail straight up with a curl at the end is showing happiness. If a cat blinks his eyes slowly at you that means he is likely comfortable, relaxed, and loves you. There are many more signals that indicate different feline feelings, and then there are the behaviors similar to the ones on display in this video. These overt and clear moments of affection between a boy and his cat can only mean one thing ~ love!

4 Kittens Were Being Threatened By A Bully Dog Until An Unlikely Surprise Hero Saves Them!
Even though Chihuahuas are the recognized as the smallest breed of dog in the world, they have just as much courage and heart as any other larger dog out there. Charlie the Chihuahua is living proof of this. He can be seen on film defending four tiny gray kittens from a much larger black dog, named Roxy.
Charlie is clearly intent on seeing no harm come to his adorable little fur babies. When Roxy gets too close and rambunctious, Charlie puts himself between the kittens and the larger dog, and drives her away. The protective Chihuahua makes sure that the helpless newborn kitties are always at a safe distance from the excited dog.
He even drives Roxy back with threatening growls, nips and warning bites, as if to say “get out of here and leave the babies alone!” All the while, the poor little cats sit in a tight cluster looking bewildered and confused, as he scene plays out all around them.
At several points Charlie forces Roxy to bow her head down low to the ground and sit in a submissive position. It is obvious who is in control in this particular situation. Charlie the Chihuahua is not a dog you wanna mess with.

He Growled and Snarled At Everyone Who Got Close To His Cage. But When She Showed Up It’s Unbelievable!
In 2005 the Jukani Predator Park was set up as a refuge for big cats who had previously lived in zoos or experienced abuse in their lives. Conservationists Jurg Olsen and his wife Karen run the South African sanctuary that lions, cheetahs, leopards, panthers, servals and more now call home. Jurg is an ex policeman and shares a close connection with the big cats that he cares for. He is able to play with, walk among, pet, and interact, directly with many of the animals. Except for one, a black leopard.
The leopard previously lived in a European zoo where he had been abused. The trauma turned him into an extremely aggressive cat who trusted no human. He let his hatred be known by growling and snarling at anyone who approached his cage, which he never left. The cat even bit Jurg and put him in the hospital for a week with one bite. Due to his vicious nature, he was named Diabolo.
After 6 months of no progress with Diabolo an outside expert came to visit, who had no knowledge of his past or present condition. Anna Breytenbach, a self styled inter-species communicator, has a unique ability in that she can transmit detailed messages to animals.
She speaks to them visually, through pictures, and silently with thoughts. Anna obtains responses from them that are often extremely detailed and personally revealing. In this video clip, we see her transform the deadly snarling Diabolo into a content and happy cat affectionately re-named Spirit.
When Anna approached the leopards cage he didn’t snarl and growl like always, but instead a wave of peace and calm washed over him. She was able to kneel right outside and look in at him. The two connected and telepathically spoke to one another.
Anna said that he was over-awed by his new surroundings, disliked humans for what they’d done to him, and he was immensely powerful, wise, and felt under appreciated. Specifically, he disliked his name and the darkness it inferred.
He was very concerned about 2 young cubs that used to be next to his cage at the zoo and it was this fact that convinced everyone that Anna must truly be communicating with the leopard. There was no other way she could possibly have known about the two cubs, even they had forgot, but Diabolo hadn’t.
So much more was said and brought out into the light because of Anna’s extraordinary ability and gift for speaking with, and understanding, animals. In less than 24 hours Diabolo’s entire world, demeanor, and life changed for the better, so much so that he earned a new name; Spirit. See what else transpired that fateful day, when Anna met Spirit, and prepare yourself for the unexpected flood of emotions that will wash over you when you hear their wild story.

Once The Pilot and This Lady Get The Plane In The Sky They Notice An Unexpected Surprise Passenger!
This cat was just looking for a place to hang out, but she didn’t realize the heights at which she would be hanging! She must be new to the airport, unless of course she just likes getting high. By the look on her face and her eagerness to get back to solid ground, it seems that she was caught unaware. Whilst taking a nap, I imagine.
In the beginning, it just looks like a routine site seeing flight, but keep your eye out for the extra passenger. When she arrives, it takes the pilot a little while to realize he has a stowaway. The look on his face when he spots her is priceless!
He seems to continue giving his tour, because his human passenger does not notice for a while longer. Maybe he is hoping she won’t notice the cat that could easily hop on her head at any moment. That is a very small airplane with very non-existent doors, and a cat jumping on his passenger would probably not work out very well.
It doesn’t take long for the woman to notice the cat, and I’m sure the pilot was relieved to see her amusement at the situation. The cat hangs on tight and lives to find terra firma once more, gaining a story to tell her friends and using one of her nine lives in the process. Did you enjoy this video? Let us know.
