Feather the dog has a heavy history.

On Nov. 23, Good Karma Pet Rescue of South Florida announced that the organization is helping a senior dog found abandoned and in need outside a pet store.

"She was left in a small plastic storage container outside of PetSmart (off camera, of course)."

A dog with a host of medical issues is on the mend after she was abandoned inside of a plastic bin that was left outside of a pet store in Lauderhill.

The veterinary team from Good Karma Pet Rescue said the dog was found in horrible, life-threatening condition when she was found over the weekend.

Good Karma Pet Rescue is asking for support to raise funds for Sassy, a 5-month-old kitten battling a rare condition.

Sassy, a 4-pound orange kitten described by Good Karma Pet Rescue as “a loving, playful kitten who deserves a full life,” was born with atresia ani, a congenital defect where the body doesn’t form a rectal opening.

Veterinarians on Monday removed a dart from a cat's body after it was struck by a blowgun in Hallandale Beach.

According to Good Karma Pet Rescue, on Aug. 13, a volunteer who had been taking care of the cat for seven years was delivering food and water and noticed a dart had pierced its backside.

A cat who was shot with a blowgun dart received emergency medical treatment on Monday at the Good Karma Pet Rescue in Fort Lauderdale. 

Caregivers at the rescue said a woman who regularly feeds a colony of cats in Hallandale Beach first noticed that he had been shot with a dart about a week ago. The woman told them the cat was hiding in the bushes, terrified and wouldn't come out. 

On June 23, just two years after he was adopted from the Humane Society of Broward County, Nino was dropped off at the same shelter where he once found his forever home.

Described as a “sweetheart” who is well-behaved, in tune with his emotions, and overall “the perfect dog,” the 7-year-old Pointer mix wasn’t surrendered for one of the usual reasons, which typically include financial restraints, allergies, or behavioral issues.

An animal shelter has started a foster search hoping to find a temporary home for a rescued pup.

Good Karma Pet Rescue is asking if anyone can take in Milo, a beagle mix found trapped in a canal in Fort Lauderdale over a week ago.

The shelter said the good Samaritan who rescued Milo can no longer keep him, and now they’re looking for a new home for the dog.

Milo will soon be vaccinated, neutered and microchipped so he can be fostered into a home and hopefully adopted.

Days after rescuing a dog spotted struggling to swim in a Fort Lauderdale canal, the animal’s rescuers are hoping to track down his owner.

Geraldine Campbell, a good Samaritan who helped the dog, spotted the 1-year-old male just barely keeping its head above water in a canal off Seabreeze Boulevard, late Sunday night.

“I didn’t know it was a dog, I was just like, ‘What are they all looking at?’ And then I see a head, and then I’m like, ‘What are we looking at?'” she said. “And then we realized it was a dog at some point, because we could see him a little bit closer, and clearly, he’s not supposed to be in the water, and he was looking to get out.”

They’re sitting in the back of your closet, laces tied together, so the pair won’t be separated. They haven’t been thrown out, because you just can’t bear to bring them to the trash can. But they’re there, sneakers no longer being worn for some reason or another.

Perhaps you have a collection of children’s shoes — it seems every month a new size is needed.

A cat has died after swallowing a toxic substance in North Lauderdale.

The feline passed away at Plantation Midtown Animal Hospital at around 9:30 p.m., Wednesday.

Her name was Sprout, and she was kept comfortable on her last day under a blanket hooked up to an IV.

“She has muscle tremors, she’s very lethargic, she’s not able to sit up or eat,” said veterinarian Marissa Sloan.

Barley, the green-eyed rescue kitten, needed a good home — but soon the little cutie needed rescuing after being stolen from his cage.

Three-month-old Barley went missing on March 8, just two days after arriving at a PetSmart store in Boca Raton as part of an adoption program run by Fort Lauderdale-based Good Karma Pet Rescue.

After more than two days of traveling, five dogs arrived in South Florida to get a second chance at life. This was thanks to the work of a rescue group who saved the pups from a meat market in China.

Before the sun was up Saturday morning, Good Karma Pet Rescue of South Florida was already at work.

Five dogs endured a long journey, making their way from China to the Miami International Airport.

"Five lives were spared today, and now we are going to get them amazing homes," said Deven Soto, with Good Karma.

LAUDERHILL, FLA. (WSVN) - A group of dogs that were saved from the meat trade overseas were given a warm welcome by volunteers after they touched down in South Florida, and their arrival was made possible thanks to a local animal rights group.

Cameras captured veterinarians greeting the five new four-legged residents in Lauderhill, Sunday.

The dogs are getting the “ulti-mutt” new start, thanks in part to the tireless efforts of the animal rescue group.

“These dogs are so happy, and they are forgiving, and they trust people,” said Deven Soto with Good Karma Pet Rescue. “They are Velcro dogs, all of them, and they are happy to be here.”

A paralyzed puppy is getting the help she needs from a physical therapist for people.

Veterinarians said they had never seen a case like Goldie's before. 

Her spine is deformed, her legs are paralyzed and an at-home amputation left her tail mutilated, according to Good Karma Pet Rescue.

The pet facility said it rescued the pup after she was severely neglected and almost starved to death by her previous owner. 

A disturbing story of animal abuse unraveling in Broward County after a dog was found in such poor condition that it had to be put down.

That dog’s owner is now under arrest.

An alert utility worker spotted the dog, saw the shocking scene and notified police.

A local animal rescue group has bought and restored an RV to be a mobile veterinarian clinic for the only vet in the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas.

"We met a veterinarian while we were doing some relief work there with the animals and his home was destroyed, his practice was destroyed, which meant that there was no way for the animals to get medical care if he wasn't in business," said Deven Soto of Good Karma Pet Rescue.

A South Florida pet shop that was shut down last year after advocates say animals were found living in filth may reopen its doors.

The owner of the Pembroke Park pet store is trying to reopen "Dr Do Little" under a different name, NBC 6 has learned.

A pet rescue group will take over the closed Broward animal shelter in Pompano Beach and fill it with dogs and cats in the coming months.

Broward County has awarded Good Karma Pet Rescue a $1 a year lease to operate the shelter, at 3100 NW 19th Terrace, and take 30 dogs and 40 cats a month from the county’s main shelter near Fort Lauderdale International Airport.

One of 31 puppies found living in deplorable conditions at a Pembroke Pines pet shop has been hospitalized for a third time since November.

Nathalie Santana of Good Karma Pet Rescue said Tuesday that five of the six puppies in their care “have been adopted into amazing homes,” but Salchi the basset hound is back in a hospital for the third time since the dogs were found covered in fleas and living in heaps of feces-covered hay and grass at Dr. Do Little Pets off Hallandale Beach Boulevard.

A dog that was found in sad shape got some canine care, and that’s not all. The puppy has fetched a whole new family! The pup, named Matty, is now being treated like a prince.

“Oh, he’s going to have the best life ever,” said David Mejia, who adopted the dog. And with his new home, let’s just say he’s found his voice.
