Abandoned dog was starving..... for love and attention!!!

Months of loneliness could have been prevented if people had done the right thing. Luckily, her feeder finally discovered #HopeForPaws and the rest is history! We just posted more videos on our website: www.HopeForPaws.org
Both Maple and her best friend Scampi are looking for their loving forever homes! Please share their video so we can find them this home together. Our friends at Angel City Pit Bulls will handle their adoption and you can contact them directly here: www.AngelCityPits.org

[@allahuakbar6952]

Prob the owners went broke or sum so they abandoned her couldn't take care of her anymore

[@RuNescapeAiderP2PF2P]

Sr Dett That is usually not the case. If they were broke but genuinely cared for her, they would’ve called a rescue or even animal control so that she wouldn’t be a stray. Instead they abandoned her. It seems more like they just didn’t want to take care of her anymore and left.

[@88porpoise]

Chris Kent I don’t know how it is in LA. But in the rural area I grew up, we had to give up a dog when we couldn’t provide the situation she needed. Nobody would accept a dog from an owner. We did eventually find someone who took her in, but we had no rush to do so. And considering the neighbour said they were “evacuated” I doubt they had much time to prepare or plan, nor is it likely to be easy to find someone to take in a Pit bull. Now I am not saying that abandoning a dog is right, it absolutely isn’t. But I don’t know if finding her a home would have been nearly as simple and straightforward of a task as you suggest.

[@RuNescapeAiderP2PF2P]

@@88porpoise I appreciate your comment. I would like to point out that this is an urban area. As much as I wan't to believe that, in urban area's, there are usually dozens of rescues, shelters or animal control lots that will take in pets. I'm not trying to say that it is easy or a simple and mundane task. I just wanted to point out the fact that if one truly cares about their pet as a living being, then they would unfortunately not resort to such a thing as abandoning it in this way. I however do not know the previous owners situation so I am speaking from my point of view.
