HOPE FOR PAWS

The Heroes of Hope For Paws have done it again. Hope For Paws is a non-profit organization that rescues abandoned and abused animals. They created Hope For Paws to help animals who suffer and die every year because of negligence and abuse. One day they got a frantic call about a "wolf" wandering the streets of LA. Immediately they sprang into action and headed out to see what they could do. When they arrived on the scene they saw the wolf.

Lisa Chiarelli was first on the scene. She was able to trap the dog in a fenced in yard. As the team examined the animal from a distance they noticed a tattered rope attached to her neck. She was dirty and covered with infection but they realized they were not dealing with a wolf as they were told, but a lost or abandoned dog.

HOPE FOR PAWS

They were able to earn her trust by feeding her treats. They team named her Julia. "Even though Julia was so skinny and starved, she took food so gently," Hagar said. She finally felt safe enough after 20 minutes to let Lisa slip the Lucky Leash around her neck. As she walked to the car, it was clear that Julia was in a lot of pain. They transported her to the vet and she underwent a full examination. Julia suffered from manage, multiple bacterial infections, and malnutrition.

"This poor girl was so swollen from infections," Hope for Paws founder Eldad Hagar said. "She was bleeding, pus was oozing from everywhere, and it's hard to see because of this coat, but she is just skin and bones." It was clear Julia was not in good shape and was in need of some TLC.

Lisa and the team treated her to a nice bath and some pampering. "As Lisa grabbed a towel, Julia just rested her head on Lisa's arm," Eldad wrote. "She was happy it was over."  But even in her pain and confusion, the pup had already learned that the humans around her could be trusted to help. Turns out she is a sweet and loving German Shepard/Husky mix.

Eldad of Hope For Paws said,  “Julia has special, calm, wise eyes,” he continued. “I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s something so special.” She is only 2 years old, but such an old soul," Eldad said. "I can't even imagine what she had gone through during all this time since she was born."
