Dog Returned To Shelter With Brother—but More Heartbreak Was Yet To Come
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An Illinois animal shelter has issued a desperate plea for a pit-bull mix at risk of euthanasia. A heartbreaking post from the City of Aurora, Illinois Animal Care and Control shared the story of Crong, a dog whose anxiety has spiraled since he was returned to the shelter and his brother adopted without him. Shelter staff are now urgently seeking a quiet, loving home to save Crong from further decline—and euthanasia. "This post is not easy to write," began the shelter's Facebook post. "Crong was born at our shelter. Adopted as a puppy. Returned in February with his brother when their family could no longer care for them. Blue was adopted quickly. Crong was left behind." File photo: A mixed-breed dog peers through bars at a shelter. File photo: A mixed-breed dog peers through bars at a shelter. BiancaGrueneberg/Getty Images Crong's struggle with anxiety has been long-standing, making shelter life a battle. "Crong has always struggled with anxiety," the post read. "He doesn't warm up quickly. He doesn't show well. He's scared of everything in the shelter. The barking, the movement, the chaos—it's all just too much." The impact of his brother's adoption intensified his fear. Despite exhaustive efforts, including medication, enrichment opportunities and a lot of love, nothing has helped. And the toll on the staff is immense, too. Volunteers say they go home crying again and again. "This job is heartbreaking," the shelter wrote. "We don't get to save everyone. Dogs like Crong are lost to the system, not because they're broken, but because they can't survive here. Their minds shatter before their bodies ever give out." An Ideal Home A volunteer, who described in the video meeting Crong during her time at Aurora Animal Control, said he was her favorite. She recently took Crong out of the shelter for a weekend to "decompress," so the world could see how "deserving he is of love." In the clip, she said she believes a calmer environment is crucial for Crong's survival—an ideal home would be calm and predictable, with no other pets. The plea has resonated with many, including those with experience in helping anxious dogs. "Coming from someone who adopted a dog with extreme anxiety issues, it's so rewarding to watch them open up and become themselves," one person wrote in the comments. "Is it hard some days, yes of course, but it's so worth it to show them the love they deserve." In a hopeful development, one Facebook user inquired about the adoption process, asking what steps she would need to take to adopt. Then, in a heartwarming follow-up, she later commented: "Well, [Crong] met three of the four of us and it went well … so, he might have a new forever home! Thanks for posting or we never would have found him!" Newsweek reached out to the City of Aurora, IL Animal Care and Control for comment.

Homeowner spray paints desperate plea to tradies before family house is demolished
A homeowner's desperate plea to tradies scrawled on the side of her garage has been praised by Aussies who say they admire her passion and dedication. The woman has lived on the family property in NSW's Sutherland Shire for the past 10 years, and over that time became friends with a blue-tongue lizard who moved in under her backyard patio, and occasionally emerged to bask in the sun. However, after selling the lot to a developer, she began to fret about the welfare of her mate and called local snake wrangler Tyler Gibbons to relocate the reptile earlier this month. 'We went over probably three or four times to try and work out how to get it out,' Gibbons, who also works for WIRES, told Yahoo News. 'We did everything we possibly could. We put food out. We put some water underneath the slab, trying to get it to pop out… but no chance.' When the woman contacted Gibbons, she told him the lizard hadn't visited in about a week — likely due to the cold weather. 'She had seen it probably for a couple of days before she first called me, but subsequently from then, she hadn't actually seen it and she was really worried about it getting crushed when they actually pulled down the house,' he said. The snake catcher was planning on giving the rescue another shot when he learned the homeowner's settlement had been brought forward, prompting her to take drastic measures to alert the incoming construction workers. 'I couldn't make it out because they called it early. And then she said 'I'm going to spray paint the garage to make sure that they check before they actually pull apart the slab',' Gibbons told Yahoo. A photo posted online shows bright read spray paint plastered across the side of the woman's garage reading 'lizard under slab' and an arrow pointing to where the blue-tongue would likely be found. At the bottom, she included Gibbons' phone number. 📸 Key detail caught on front yard security footage sparks alarm 🐍 Tradies stop work to capture incredible battle at construction site 🏊 Warning behind 'adorable' image of blue-tongue lizard swimming in pool Touched — and entertained — by the woman's effort, Gibbons went back to the property again this week to check in with the tradies on-site, but they hadn't had any luck locating the lizard either. 'They were a little bit cautious when they pulled that slab up and broke it up, just to see if it was there or not. They didn't notice it but that's probably a good thing,' he said. 'Hopefully, it had moved on because of all the vibration with the excavators. So you never know. Fingers crossed.' Gibbons said blue-tongue lizards are quite common in the Sutherland Shire, and residents often keep an eye out for them. 'You'd be surprised how many people are fairly passionate about their reptiles and what lives in their backyard. It's almost like another pet that someone lives with on their property.'
