Loading...Bold, Big-Hearted Rescuers Round Up Dogs Lost During Fireworks
Summer is one of the best times of year to be a dog. The tall grass. The warm sun. And for the really lucky dogs, there’s time for a splash in the sparkling pond. Yes, this time of year can be nirvana for man’s best friend. But, the 4th of July is a precarious time for dogs and cats who respond in panic to the sound of fireworks.
Today we bring you good news about one rescue group that has decided to take proactive measures to help these holiday victims. Animal Friends of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania hosts an annual round-up in which they visit local animal control facilities to save the lives of dogs who have been lost and are unclaimed and slated for euthanasia. They call this Liberation Day and you’ll soon see why.
You’ll love the tremendously positive energy of these volunteers and the four star treatment they provide to their new ‘guests.’ Enjoy this uplifting video! More ‘good news’ animal rescue videos here

Thank you for carrying :)
Watched the video. God bless those people who care enough to do this. Made me proud it is my hometown. Thanks for the post
''Lose your pet forever to these people.'' Jane, what planet are you living on? ANIMAL CONTROL picks up strays and generally keeps them for 72 hours before they are destroyed. They don't care who owns them or why the dogs are on the street. ANIMAL FRIENDS OF PITTSBURG rescues these frightened dogs from Animal Control facilities, soothes their jangled nerves and saves them from DEATH! In a perfect world, ALL pet owners would be responsible. If that was the scenario, then there would be NO overpopulation, NO neglect, NO cruelty and NO heartbreak.
Bravo! Great work........
I hate fireworks and wish they'd be banned.
Jane, according to the story, these animals were already picked up off the street by Animla Control and not reunited with their owners so most {if not all} of them were scheduled for euthanasia. That is where Animal Friends comes in. They don't steal people's pets they save these animals from euthanasia and give them a second chance. I think they're great for doing what they do and deserve kudos for doing it. They make a magnificent difference in these animals' lives.
