Even though Ellen DeGeneres is rich, powerful and busy, she still takes time to care!

Mainly, she cares about the animals! Especially the cute ones!!

She took to twitter and posted a puppy pic (above) and wrote:

Omg, this is so incredible!!

We previously mentioned that John Simpson, a Vietnam vet, is currently dying of pancreatic cancer.

He's at a hospice, living out his remaining days, which there are only a few of.

Miraculously, a young woman, Missy Figueroa, found his missing pup!!

Due to the widespread nature of this sad story, Missy was able to find John and reunite him with his pup, Mr. Cutie!

Now, John is working with the hospice to try and get as much Chihuahua time in as he can!

So glad they found his pup.

Check out the video (above) to see their reunion… and maybe grab a handful of tissues.

Big celebs like Leonardo DiCaprio, Edward Norton and Blink-182's Mark Hoppus took to Twitter to fight for a great cause.

They began tweeting on behalf of the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), hoping to make them "fan favorite" for the Google Global Impact Award.

Guess what happened…

Big props to the deputy from the Monroe County Sheriff's Department who saved a deer in the Florida keys!

The deputy came across the poor little deer with its head stuck in a Doritos bag!!

A spokesperson said the deer allowed the deputy to get the bag off its head without a struggle.

This is just so awful! How can people be so cruel?!

In Crawfordville, Florida, Animal Control officers were called to the side of a highway to check on a bloody dog, who was lying on the side of the roadway.

When they got there, they found a five-month-old German Shepherd puppy with gunshot wounds to his hind legs.

We previously mentioned that the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has teamed up with Rachel Ray for a $100K Challenge!

Basically, the challenge is a contest that tries to inspire animal shelters across the country to try new and interesting ways to involve and engage their communities, hopefully saving as many dogs and cats as possible.

The shelter who saves the most lives during the three-month contest gets the $100,000.

Vice president of Community Outreach at the ASPCA said:

This is so incredible!!

We can't get enough of these INCREDIBLE stories about pets being rescued after the devastating Moore, Oklahoma tornado.

The latest pet to be saved is a kitty cat named Egor.

Egor was found by a boy scout, who was searching the remains of Geoff and Jo Humann's home.
