Manatee rescued from fishing line entanglement by Florida Keys team during multi-day mission
A manatee is safely back in the water after one of its front flippers was severely entangled in a fishing line in the Florida Keys last week. On Saturday, the Dolphin Research Center (DRC) led a complex rescue of an injured manatee in close coordination with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and Dolphins Plus. According to the organization, Cooley's rescue took multiple days and required "many hours" of careful effort to safely free her. Dolphin Research Center The manatee, known as "Cooley," was found "suffering from a severe entanglement caused by fishing line wrapped tightly around her pectoral flipper," the DRC said. According to the organization, Cooley's rescue took multiple days and required "many hours" of careful effort to safely free her. Once disentangled, Cool was treated on-site by Dr. Scott Gearhart, the DRC's veterinarian. After a thorough evaluation and treatment at the rescue location, she was immediately released back into her natural habitat. According to the DRC, Cooley's rescue highlighted a "trouble, ongoing issue": She has been rescued multiple times in her life due to similar entanglement injuries. Additionally, her mother "Dually" — another manatee well-known by the DRC — has also been rescued over a dozen times over the years for the same hazard, the organization said. "This isn't just a one-time issue — it's an ongoing and serious threat to manatees in [Florida] waters," said Allie Proskovec, the public relations director for the DRC. "When the same animals are needing rescue again and again, it shows how urgent it is for all of us to take better care of our environment." According to the DRC, the organization is the only licensed manatee rescue team in the Florida Keys and plays "a critical role in responding to these emergencies and providing expert care for injured wildlife." "Fishing line entanglements remain one of the most common and preventable dangers faced by manatees," the organization said. "DRC urges anglers and the public to properly dispose of fishing line using designated recycling bins and to report injured wildlife immediately to the FWC." The DRC advises that if anyone spots a manatee that may be injured, entangled or in distress, to call the FWC Wildlife Alert Hotline at 1 (888) 404-FWCC (3922).

Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh reports "heartbreaking" rise in dogs abandoned outside its doors
The Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh says in just the last month, five dogs were abandoned outside its facilities after hours. In one "heartbreaking" video shared by HARP, a person is seen taking a dog out of a car and leading it away. As the car drives off, the dog chases after it, leash trailing. "She chased after the car that drove away ... not knowing she'd just been left behind forever," the video caption says. Staff found her in the bushes a bit later. The nonprofit shared two other videos. In one, a person removes a dog from the back of a car and leaves it in the early morning hours. In the other, two people tie two dogs to door handles before driving away. "These images are heartbreaking," HARP executive director Dan Cody said in a news release. "You can see the confusion in their eyes—the fear, the betrayal. No animal deserves to be discarded like this." HARP asks for help HARP said it's already operating at critical capacity, with dog housing almost hitting its limit at times. The shelter says it's doing everything it can to care for the sudden, unplanned intakes, but many of the animals arrive malnourished, scared or with untreated medical issues. "When a pet is abandoned, we lose vital information—about their health, their behavior, even their name," said Cody. "It makes helping them infinitely harder, and more heartbreaking." The nonprofit is asking for donations, saying it will help them care for animals brought in under traumatic circumstances. HARP offers resources for struggling pet owners The nonprofit is reminding the public that it offers several resources for struggling pet owners. Ellie's Pet Pantry offers pet food and basic supplies to families in need, and there are low-cost veterinary clinics, even if the patients weren't adopted from HARP. For people who are struggling with behavior, housing issues and veterinary care, there's a free pet helpline that can be reached at 412-345-0348. And pets can be surrendered, but appointments are required to make sure they are safely and responsibly taken into the shelter. Owners who want to make an appointment can call 412-345-0348.
