Our Pet of the Week is BRIDGER, a mixed breed pooch with beautiful brown eyes and an adorable nubbin tail. He is ready for adoption at It Takes a Village.

Our Pet of the Week, LADYBIRD, is a sweet, senior Coonhound. She's been at It Takes a Village far too long, it's about time she finds a forever home.

Sometimes you need to be the tough guy even if you're a dog. That point was proven when an Iowa dog was caught on video practicing his mean faces in a mirror.

Macy is a golden retriever who lives with her owner in Streator, Illinois. She had gone missing for almost an entire day before it was discovered that the scared dog had fallen down a sinkhole.

If you're looking for a story that will make you smile, how about a dog that just rescued a baby otter from a river here in Minnesota?

If you have a heart for animals, there is one place in Missouri you really need to know about. It's a rescue ranch that has horses, pigs, ducks and other animals that you can potentially adopt.

It's certainly not uncommon, but still uplifting when you can witness young kids being given something that many of us cherished from our childhood. It's a Midwest brother and sister learning that they now have the puppy they always wanted.

A Midwestern family reported their dog missing. They were astonished when they were contacted by rescuers who found her floating on an ice block in a nearby river.

Someone, please make one of these for dos in the Tri-States.

I'm sure you try to concentrate at your job (if not, let's pretend), but I doubt you have ever focused as hard as a border collie who just gave a master class on how to herd ducks.
