Janie was brought to a shelter in LA as a stray on April 14th, having had been run over by a car and was seriously injured.

How do they know? She literally had a tire track across her back! She was scared and in pain, reluctant to let anyone help.

SO many people wanted to! The only problem is that she had a microchip, meaning the owners had 10 days to claim her before she could legally be rescued OR adopted, so the staff called the owners and even went to the registered address! NOBODY WANTED THIS CUTE PUPPY!

The loving and amazing staff had money pledged in case Janie needed surgery, but there was no foster home for her. They bent over backwards to find her one!

Against the odds, Janie was given a chance at a happy life, thanks to the dedication of the shelter's employees, as well as several concerned animal welfare workers. This was just some random dog, and the kindness of strangers saved her life — and gave her a new, comfortable one to boot!

It's stories like the one (above & below) that make us SO happy!

Veterinary technician Carmen Bernard found a Siamese kitten on the road - its legs were all twisted up and later she found out it was blind.

Because of its condition - the cat, who's been named Pretzel, found it very painful to walk and needed help just to manage.

When Carmen took Pretzel to the vet - the animal doctor gave Carmen two options. The first option was to put Pretzel to sleep, and the second option was to prepare for a lot of surgery.

Carmen couldn't bear to put Pretzel to sleep, and after many months the kitty cat is prepping for its final operation to once and for all be healthy enough to walk!

Awww isn't appropriate for this story.

We're going to have to go with the all caps AWWW!!!

A dog was found and subsequently rescued along a creek in South Carolina, but it might have been the dog who was doing all the rescuing.

The dog was nursing a kitten at the bottom of an embarkment near the creek, and is believed to have been there with the kitty cat for at least two days!

Looking good, lady!

Heather Morris was spotted walking her beautiful doggy-poo, but the real star of the show was Heather's baby bump proudly on display.

We LOVE how the Glee star isn't using her baby bump as an excuse to lay around, and she's still out and about AND moving!

That's gotta be healthy for that sure-to-be beautiful baby growing inside of her!

Heck. At this rate - that bundle of love is going to come sprinting right out of there.

Wouldn't that be a sight to see!!

LOLz!

Billy Corgan, lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins, is a huuuuge animal supporter!

And he's using his celebrity to call out California Pizza Kitchen!

He wants CPK to demand that their cheese suppliers stop dehorning their cattle!

Dehorning is a very cruel, torturous process, as Emily Deschanel previously pointed out.

On mainland Australia, Devil Ark is the largest conservation breeding program for the Tasmanian Devil.

We just learned something new about the tasmanian devil… they're SUPER cute as babies!

Just look at the pic (above) of a little Tasmanian Devil joey drinking from a bottle!!

Sooper adorbz!

Every little Devil is a gift because there's a highly contagious disease called Devil facial tumor disease (DFTD).

DFTD could lead to the extinction of of the Tasmanian Devil in the next 20 years!

So these little guys are just that much more precious!

There are over 120 Devils at the Ark and they hope to have 360 by 2016!

Good luck with the breeding! Let's keep these cuties around for future generations to "AWW" at!

OMG! That is seriously the cutest lil pupster ever!!

We feel so bad for the little guy though!

He just wants his treat so badly, but he can't get it!

He dances for it, he paws at it but it's always just out of reach!!

He's so crazy cute, we'd give him all the treats in the world.

So, does he end up with the treat?? Or is this the world's cruelest video??
