]]>Addie was prematurely born and abandoned by its mother shortly after. The mother would kick the baby horse and didn’t want to have anything with it. Even the veterinarian couldn’t do anything to create a bond between the two, and it seemed like there was nothing anyone could do to save the foal.
At that point, Catherine decided to step in and take Addie. She brought it to her home, fed the baby horse, took care of it, and did everything to help it survive.
Catherine’s effort paid off as Addie grew up to be an energetic mini horse who quickly made friends with the family’s dogs. It also developed a habit of running around the house and chewing everything in its sight.
“Our house is definitely not made for a horse so we have moved our kitchen island out of the kitchen it’s pretty much destroyed now anyway she’s chewed most of it,” Catherine told The Dodo in a recent chat.
Now, Addie has become strong enough to be able to be outdoors and take care of itself. Catherine found it a new home on a farm but regularly visits the horse and shares their adventures on social media.

]]>In late January, the staff of ARL received a surprising notification that someone rang a doorbell at their facility at 1:30 AM. Checking out the camera, one staffer noticed a familiar dog standing in front and waiting to get in. It was a rescue pupper named Bailey, who was adopted just one month earlier by a local family.
Speaking through the doorbell camera app, the staffer shouted “Bailey,” and the dog immediately looked at the camera, confirming her identity. The staffer then made her way to the shelter and found Bailey sitting tight.
It turned out that Bailey was scared away by something while walking with her new owner and ran away. She then decided to make a 10-mile trip to her former home, returning to the place where she always felt safe.
After taking in Bailey, the ARL staff provided the dog with food and water to help her recoup energy from the exhausting trek. She was reunited with her owner, who never stopped looking for her, and brought back to her new home the next morning.
“She knew exactly where to go,” ARL founder Loretta Hyde later told The Dodo. “Dogs are smarter than we give them credit for.”
