Powder was found abandoned in the middle of the Florida Everglades. Dogs can not survive very long in these harsh conditions. One afternoon a couple was out at the boat ramps at mile marker 39 off of US Hwy 27 and they saw Powder barely able to move trying to find a comfortable place to rest. The couple tried for hours to get help and Broward Sheriff's Office responded. The deputies on scene were determined to help this poor dog and bring him to safety. Within an hour, Dezzy's Second Chance Animal Rescue responded and agreed to take Powder into their care. He has a long road to recovery including surgery on both his eyes. His skin is still infected so his eye sugary has been postponed until mid April. Powder is happy and playing with other dogs.

Sara and Ingrid were rescued from the backyard of a drug dealers house in South Florida. A young man adopted these two puppies and had them in a small cage in his backyard. He was in jail on drug charges for a week while the puppies were trapped in their crate. They were laying in their own feces. The father released the dogs to Angelico Cat and Dog Rescue after their relentless effort to save these dogs. This is the worst case of animal cruelty Angelico Cat Rescue has witnessed. As hard and graphic it is to watch their rescue, the end result was two beautiful female dogs that had their second chance in life.

Dozens of cats were rescued after a hoarder died and her body was discovered a week later. Living conditions were lethal and there was a gruesome discover in the freezer. As of 5/6/18, 31 cats have been rescued and 16 found dead. Broward County Animal Control said that they would kill all cats found in the house, so Angelico Cat Rescue stepped in to rescue, vet and re-home them. However, the medical bills are mounting and fosters will need food and supplies for these cats. Please donate! Go Fund Me: https://www.gofundme.com/5i2dhp4?member=143424

A lot of dogs get abandoned by their owners every single day. They end up alone in dumpsters or wandering the streets. If they are lucky enough, they get to survive out there and maybe someday find a family that’s going to take care of them. Oliver and his mother Karma were dumped at an automobile auction lot at the edge of the Florida Everglades. Because of the high traffic that frequents this road, these dogs’ lives were in great danger. Running around for almost two months on a <a href="https://rumble.com/v3jsal-farmer-rides-pig-along-busy-road.html" target="_blank">busy road</a> meant that they could get injured at any time. Luckily, Oliver was saved and after a while he got himself new home. One lovely lady adopted him on April 16 in 2014. "Oliver is going home. We have a foster "failure"!" Only that this foster "failure" turned to be a loving and caring foster family that took great care of him. He grew up into a happy and cheerful dog, enjoying every day of his doggy life. He plays with <a href="https://rumble.com/v39cp4-handful-of-adorable-squirming-newborn-red-squirrels.html" target="_blank">squirrels</a> and he hangs with the geese and ducks. Oliver adores the water park where he can play and hang around with other dogs all day long. He and his cat sister, Priscilla, who was also abandoned, love to cuddle and make troubles at home. This dog has a sophisticated taste of food. His favorite meal are chicken livers. That’s where he takes his girlfriend Diva out on a date. This cute video and the inspirational story behind it end with Oliver’s message to his viewers: "Thank you all for following my adventures. Love you all!!! I get pizza and cake for my birthday. I can't wait."

Every day, Jane and John's owner looked into their sweet trusting eyes and ignored giving them the necessities of life including love and medical care.

Dezzy's Second Chance Rescue responded to that plea for help when no other rescue in south Florida would respond. These dogs face almost $10,000 in medical procedures and at times round the clock care. Dezzys was not afraid of the challenge to save the lives of these dogs. At the time of this completed video, Jane and John have shown wonderful improvement in just about a month. We will be sure to update you in the next few months to show their continued progress.

Please SHARE this video and DONATE if you can by visiting their website, WWW.Dezzyssecondchance.com . EVERY DOLLAR will go to help improve the lives of these dogs and the many more they save on a daily basis.

Just a few days before Christmas, Murphy was found darting in and out of traffic on the busy streets of Ft. Lauderdale. Erika, a kind person, saved him from the streets and brought him to Nob Hill Animal Clinic to be scanned for a microchip. Murphy's fur was horribly matted down to his skin. The staff of Nob Hill Animal Clinic examined him, cleaned him and kept him safe until we could find a rescue to take him in. Abandoned Pet Rescue stepped up immediately and took him into their care. We have posted Murphy to see if there is a family that is missing him. Proper ownership papers will need to be provided. If a family does not claim him, Murphy will be up for adoption. Abandoned Pet Rescue will make sure that Murphy will never suffer again. He is a Christmas Miracle that deserves love, kindness and a forever home. Go to AbandonedPetRescue.org to find out more about Murphy and to donate towards his care. UPDATE...12/31/15...ADOPTED!

These dogs lived a horrible life at the home of former Opa-laka Chief of Police, Ron Wilson. While he was on a 10 day cruise, Animal Control found them left to fend for themselves in his yard without shelter from the harsh South Florida conditions. These dogs were immediately taken into Dezzy's Second Chance Animal Rescue where they received the medical treatment they needed. Their ribs were showing, bodies covered in mange, almost completely blinded from eye issues. Further tests and x-rays revealed Mugsy had a broken leg in the past, two bullets still in his body and heart worm. The medial bills have been close to $20,000 and at the time of their rescue, Dezzy's Second Chance could not tell their story to raise donations because Ron Wilson was under investigation. Eventually the SWAT team came out and arrested him. He was charged with animal abuse. Wilson opted for a deal to keep him out of jail and has agreed to pay a non disclosed amount of money to reimburse Dezzy's Second Chance for the dogs medical care. He has FIVE years to pay.

These cats are fascinated with an tablet game that is designed specifically for felines. A virtual mouse runs around the screen and when the cats try to attack it, their paw prints leave a virtual painting of their fun.

"I hate being black!" A desperate homeless woman in San Francisco walked into a restaurant looking for food. The staff knocked her to the ground. As this was happening, a patron stepped in to help her in a dignified way. A simple act of kindness helped to calm the homeless woman down and provided her happiness, even if it was only temporary. Her cries of, "I hate being black" was heartbreaking. The kind person that came to her rescue assured her that we are all the same and that no person is better than another. It was a spectacular moment witness. It is my hope that this video will inspire you to have compassion for those that may be down on their luck and to take a few moments to pay it forward. The true reward is in helping and giving.

Scout was found at 6 weeks old with his siblings and feral mother cat in South Florida living in an alley way. Angelico Cat and Dog Rescue took them in, and medical tests were done for Scout. Doctors believe that he was born paralyzed, but it's amazing how he interacts without letting his disability get in the way of living his life to the fullest!

Crystal was found roaming on the side of the road on Orange Drive in Davie, Fl next to the canal. She had a blue substance on her rear end and open sores in the same area. One side of her muzzle was missing flesh and her ribs were poking through her coat. Nearby was a white tarp that also had blue residue that came from her coat. Davie Police were on the scene immediately to rescue her. Her condition was so bad that they called the department detective to further investigate her case. She obviously had physical signs of abuse and neglect and the white tarp left indications that she was wrapped in the plastic and possibly dumped next to the canal. It took about 10 minutes before the officers were able to get her safely into the police car. Broward County law requires that stray animals be taken to Broward County Animal control to allow 3 days for an owner to come forward. The detective opened an investigation for Crystal. Heidi's Legacy Rescue sent a commitment to rescue Heidi from the shelter. Crystal was welcomed into their rescue and rushed to the animal hospital for immediate medical care. It took about two weeks before she was finally healthy enough to be transported to foster care in Lakeland, Florida. Crystal is one of many dogs Heidi's Legacy Dog Rescue helps on a daily basis. Please consider donating to continue to help Crystal and other dogs in their care. You can contact them or send donations to their pay pal account... PayPal: heidislegacydogrescue@aol.com

AN ORGY OF FROGS!!!! For a few weeks of every year, my neighbors and I live with the nightly moaning and croaking of horny frogs mating on our lake. The loud unison sounds last through the night and ends just before day break. Since I replaced my windows and doors with hurricane resistant glass, I no longer need ear plugs to sleep during their mating rituals. This year I decided to capture their sexual activities on video to share with the YouTube world. I'm not a pervert, please don't judge me. Enjoy!

Animal Control showed up one day at the Lowe property and violently seized 5 pet dogs. Darted and dragged into the truck, these dogs suffered for over 90 days in isolation waiting to be euthanized. Billy is one of the "Tampa 5" dogs and member of the Lowe family who was forced (against local law) to surrender their dogs to animal control. The dogs were accused of biting a person who trespassed onto the private, properly gated and posted property. Billy and the other 4 dogs endured 3 months of isolation at the local shelter while their family fought for their rights. In August of 2015, the dogs were legally declared safe to be released from the shelter. Months before, Mr. Lowe suffered a severe stroke and was hospitalized, never to return home. His family made the decision to find loving homes for all of Mr. Lowe's dogs. Six of the family dogs (4 of the Tampa 5) are with a South Florida rescue who is medically caring for them and dedicated to finding them homes. Billy was fortunate enough to quickly find his forever home and will be a companion dog for a retired Vietnam veteran.

A duck nested outside of my front door with a clutch of almost 20 eggs. I was able to capture the big day when they all hatched and followed their journey to their first swim in the lake.

We adore cats! They are little fluff balls which bring us joy and happiness with their tempers, their playful character, and their loving hearts. They are, and we know that they make our lives better. We think cats make the perfect pet because they are self-sufficient, intelligent, and good companions. We’ve heard it one too many times that cats are incredibly smart and that they can probably survive a zombie apocalypse if push comes to shove. However, there are cases when fate has been crueler to them, and life was not far towards them. But knowing their strong will to live and maybe having nine lives, they will beat all odds of losing their lives. Just like this little <a href="https://rumble.com/v324g4-dog-gets-stuck-in-escalator-hero-firefighters-save-him.html" target="_blank">hero</a>, when baby cat Gracie was eight weeks old, she showed the world that she is strong! When Gracie was just eight weeks old, she was sleeping in a mail delivery truck and was startled by the driver. Gracie jumped out of the car and was immediately hit by another vehicle passing by. She suffered severe head trauma. Angelico Cat Rescue was called, and Tammy immediately came out to rescue Gracie. The doctors only gave her a 20% survival rate. Head injury can happen when a feline supports damage to the head, for example, running into a divider, battling with another creature, or being hit with an unpolished or infiltrating object. The recognizable side effects of a head injury will change between felines. Now and again, you may notice your feline is starting to act unusual, while in different circumstances, your feline may entirely lose consciousness and begin to have seizures. But, luckily Tammy was not giving her life up! Tammy and a volunteer Olga shared the responsibility of 24-hour care to keep her body temperature regulated and to feed her. This video documents her slow but fantastic recovery. As of 2/14/19, Gracie can only see shadows. She cannot eat on her own because she has not yet regained her sense of smell. The smell also affects a cats urge to the litter box. We wish Tammy great recovery, and we hope that she will cross every obstacle on her way and she will live a perfect life together with her family and will be a healthy <a href="https://rumble.com/v4ikct-talking-cat-jacob.html" target="_blank">cat</a>! Gracie's medical bills and continued expenses are mounting. Please consider donating to her care. You can go to Paypal@AngelicoCatRescue.com to donate.

Ghosts in Savannah Haunt Oliver the Dog! NO ONE UNDER 18 or with heart condition should watch this video! Oliver goes on vacation with mommy to Savannah, Ga.

To what extent will a police department go to protect their own? John and Jane are two dogs that were seized from their owners home. Many people had observed the deplorable condition of these dogs and reported them to Miami Dade Animal Services. A rescue person who visits the shelter regularly posted on Facebook a video of these dogs. Dezzys Second Chance Rescue was the only local rescue to take these dogs into their ranch and help nurse them back to health. X-rays showed that John had two bullets still in his body. Both dogs still face more surgeries in the future. The police department for the city in which the dogs lived refused to grant an arrest warrant on the owner. Why did they refuse? Are they trying to protect someone? Maybe one of their own? The State Attorney overrode this decision and granted a warrant. Many details of these dogs and their previous owner remain confidential due to a pending criminal trial. These dogs need justice. This dangerous person needs to be held up to the law and punished. Dezzys Second Chance Rescue is responsible for the care and the total cost of medical bills for these dogs. Please consider donating by going to their website. WWW.DezzysSecondChance.com. Make sure to share this video with everyone so we can let law enforcement know that they can not cover up and protect the person who abused these loving dogs.
