An incredible little dog. Where there is love there is hope

There's a dynasty unfolding in Kenya. The matriarch? Edie, an orphan we rescued in 1999 after she fell into a well and was abandoned by her family at first light when herdsmen arrived. Today, she is 27 years old and a mother of five – her newborn Enid joining Eden, Ella, Eco and Enzo.

15 days ago, Rocky came in as close to death as is possible for a dog to be. It has been a battle to get him back into shape but I think you will agree that he is looking fantastic.

One week with Bumpy! Like any baby, he sleeps deeply and often – especially snuggled up to his Keeper, with a tummy full of milk. Rescued last weekend after his mother died in a territorial fight, he now has a family with us and a wild future ahead. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/bumpy

Meet Bumpy! This enchanting little chap was rescued over the weekend. This was Bumpy's first night with us, snuggled next to Keeper Simon. Simon put his mattress on the ground and the tiny hippo nestled by his side, swaddled in his cherry blanket.

The most beautiful relationship ever. A month ago little Maple Syrup had been stabbed in the stomach and her elderly owner reached out to us for help. Fully healed, maple syrup is back and it's the most beautiful thing you could ever see

This boy badly needed our help today. To anybody who comments on my posts / shares / supports my work this is the only way I can say thanks. By using the good will and support to spend time helping the dogs who need it most and who have no one. Have a lovely holidays 💕

What a difference 24 hours makes. Small margins between life and death.

Little Stormzy had his first trip out into the "real world". Testing him out to see if he'll be OK for adoptions. Look at him go! I think the early answer is a yes!

Look who is up and about today. He had his special "brain food" and is getting better at his walking. Still not perfect but Stormzy is on the mend!

A handshake hello from Kipekee! Kipekee was rescued in June in a near-skeletal state, having been without her mother’s milk for days. This footage, taken last month, shows she’s gained in strength, and her once gaunt cheeks are beginning to look almost chubby: swt.bio/kipekee

It really is incredible what a difference we have seen in 24 hours. So much for her being "vicious and dangerous" as we were told

We've worked so hard for this moment since saving his life. I could punch the air I am so happy. Prepare to have a huge grin on your face!! Look at Stormzy go!

He had no future. Brain damage from a whack from a car. His life was over. Look at little Storm now just 9 days later. He was down but he wasn't out ❤️

Stair cat 😻

Been away three weeks, normal service has now been resumed 😻

Zebra foals imprint on their mothers by recognising unique stripe patterns. When we rescued Bombi - orphaned after a lion attack - we dusted off our zebra coat so she didn't feel alone and knew who to follow. Peter's the primary carer to Bombi and Kaluku's other non-elephant orphans.

Spa day for Dibble 💆🏻‍♀️

From tiny orphans in need to wild-living families, we support elephants every step of their lives. Elephant conservation is not the work of a moment, but a multi-generational commitment. To date, we have rescued over 300 elephants and welcomed 77 wild grandbabies of our Orphans' Project.

You can only pick one. Which one?

It took so long to build her up and she was probably the staff's fav here in Thailand. But look at Matilda now. She is home!

Tough day at Stanfield Towers 🤷🏼‍♀️😎😻

Years ago, a wild bull calmly walked into an Ithumba stockade — unusual behaviour that signalled something was wrong. He had an arrow wound on his ankle. Once help arrived, he stepped back and waited. He still returns now and then, just to check in. Read more: t.co/uFSPgDzmIq

“Window seat” Yeah, thanks Avanti for my occasional glimpses of countryside 🙄

Big T made it through his operation. What a lovely day he had today

Little Pippilotta should be angry and bitter at the world after being inflicted with a brain injury when she was a puppy. But like so many dogs she decides to live in the moment. She wouldn’t be here today were it not for the dedication of my friend Sybille. An amazing recovery

Tough afternoon at our house 🤷🏼‍♀️😎

Last June I got called to rescue these 2 dogs from a cage in Thailand. Faith and Phoenix were in a horrific state. Today 9 months later I got to meet them in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 What a comeback… (1/7) 🧵

5 days ago he was alone on the streets and in agony. Shaggy thought he was fighting for his life here as he’d never known a kind human. Safe to say that has all changed now… (1/6) 🧵

Today is what’s known as a Good Drying Day ☀️💨

We brought him in from the streets on Friday. He was alone and terrified. Just a baby. After 2 days of decompression today he was ready for his makeover. Shaggy looks amazing…. (1/7) 🧵

If you need a lift today then this story of Thai street dog Panda is it. He was utterly broken, sick and obese when we found him 2 months ago. You won’t believe how well he is doing now and how bright his future looks… (1/8) 🧵

He’s been overdoing it a bit had Tom Cruise since coming in. I don’t think he’s used to swinging the leg so much. Big old world for the little boy to explore these days 🥰🙏

Tom Cruise was out and about today building his new life. He had places to be and people to see. His life is starting to look better by the day… (1/7) 🧵

What a difference 48 hours makes

I found this little guy on the streets on Friday. He was absolutely filthy and in a lot of pain. You won’t believe how well he looks 48 hours later. Also he’s the biggest character I’ve ever come across… (1/8) 🧵

Little Candy is a rescue dog we re-homed. She only has 3 legs. Her new brother has started putting on a "limp" to welcome her. Simply incredible 😂

From agony to ecstasy in 4 short weeks. A comeback that will make your heart smile 🥰🙏

Panda is back running. Hard to believe Just the lift I needed today 🥰🙏 Look at that tail go!

Last summer we reduced Rusty from a short chain in Thailand. These images show very visually what a happy home does for a dog… (1/7) 🧵

Little Kate has been with us for 2 weeks now. She is very slowly and gently coming out of her shell. Her fur is growing back as he skin and blood issues clear up also. You can see her starting to enjoy the world in her little eyes 😍
