...than a life spent alone outdoors.

After receiving a call about a buffalo calf who had plunged 10 feet into a trash-filled drainage pit, a rescue team from Animal Rahat rushed to help. The calf was barely keeping her head above water and could hardly be seen under all the debris. Rescuers had to work quickly in order to save the her life, and their efforts paid off. Miraculously, she was lifted out unharmed and was able to make a full recovery.

The rescue part has no edits because I wanted to show the process of gaining Pierre's trust. A wrong or too fast of a movement could spook a dog, and then it's a nightmare. Patience is so critical in a rescue situation, and it worked out beautifully here. Pierre is so lucky he allowed me to help him because the rat poison he ingested could have caused fatal damage! The leash definitely stressed him, but it was a small price to pay in exchange for all the happiness that is coming his way. 😊 Thank you so much to all our Hope For Paws supporters for helping us save so many lives!

Rusty isn’t able to run, explore,  play, or live in any kind of comfort at all 😥 So many dogs just like him are neglected and forced to live a life all alone outside 💔 Subscribe to #PETA: https://bit.ly/2Qu3mOO . 🔔Turn on ALL push notifications 🔔 PETA's mission statement is that animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way: https://www.peta.org/about-peta/

Thank you so much for helping us save so many animals like Mr. Grey. Imagine the suffering he would have to endure if we were not there to respond to these calls. We can only do as much as we can afford to pay in medical care, so please join us today as a Hope For Paws member: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/donate After Mr. Grey received medical treatment at CARES, our friends at the Kitty Bungalow offered to foster him, and sure enough, one of their volunteers fell in love with him and adopted him.

It's so cool to watch her transform - please watch the full version. 💖

Today’s rescue video is so important to me. My dad (who passed away last year) was injured in a terrible accident when he was 17 years old and spent a whole year in a hospital bed. The doctors told him he would never be able to walk again, but my dad told them, “I will dance!” Through hard work with physical therapists (67 years ago!), he was able to walk, tie his shoes with just one hand (the other was not functional), have six children, and live a long and healthy life. 😊 Like my dad, Champ also suffered a terrible injury (it's possible his leg got stuck in a machine, an electrical gate, or maybe he was hit by one of the trains passing in this area). Rich Lujan, who reached out to Hope For Paws, informed me that after reviewing the security camera footage, he saw Champ at the refinery at 10 PM, walking on all four legs. However, by the time he found him at 5 AM, Champ only had three legs. 😰 I rushed to the location immediately and approached slowly - an injured animal can be dangerous! Champ, like the champ that he is, allowed me to comfort him, secure him, and get him to CARES. Our ability to do rescues like this completely depends on your support. If you can, please join us with a $5 recurring donation that will send us on many more rescue missions: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/donate Champ's behavior throughout his recovery was absolutely amazing and inspiring. According to Google, between 1-2 million people go through amputations every year around the world! It's a traumatic event, and I hope Champ will inspire through his story and show how recovery and happiness are possible. Please share this video with family and friends - we all know a veteran who was injured, someone who was seriously injured in an accident, or someone who lost a limb due to sickness. The amazing team at CARES - an emergency trauma doctor, a board-certified surgeon, a rehab doctor, and, of course, the supportive team of technicians, all worked around the clock to help him fully recover. The story doesn't end here - Champ is now looking for a foster home or a loving forever home. Our friends at Maison Sûre who receive our rescue alerts and notified me early in the morning to head to this rescue, will handle his adoption.

Supporters like you make it possible for us to save senior dogs like Milton! Please join the Hope For Paws team today here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org ❤️ I found Milton under a car with an infected wound that was full of maggots. He had a large tumor and a bladder stone and also suffered from pneumonia. We are so lucky to have the loving medical team at CARES that takes care of our rescues and nurses them back to health. If you missed Champ's rescue video, here is the link for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IW8toydgqI (VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED - he is very severely injured). Our friends at Maison Sûre are fostering Milton, and if you would like to adopt him, please contact them directly: https://www.MaisonSureLA.org They are also looking for a loving forever home for Mickey and Minnie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPY1z1DKKXU Please watch these three videos and help us save more lives - these animals wouldn't have survived one day at the shelter.
