Hurricane Melissa devastated parts of the Caribbean this week, leaving families and their animals stranded across Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, and the Bahamas. The International Fund for Animal Welfare is now providing disaster relief for local pets and affected wildlife.

What To Do: Donate to the IFAW to help pets and their people rebuild after the storm.

November is National Senior Pet Month, the perfect time to open your heart to an older pup. Senior dogs are calm, loyal, and full of love, and there are many practical benefits of owning a senior dog, yet too often they're overlooked in shelters.

What To Do: Visit your local shelter and ask about their resident senior dogs, or find adoptable dogs near you online and filter by age group.

Border Patrol agents in El Paso, TX, shot and killed a 7-year-old Rottweiler named Chop after entering his home. Despite being safely secured in the bathroom and showing no aggression, an agent opened the door and shot him—then left him to die.
