Dog dumped in a gravel factory far away from here...

Some rescues require long-distance trips, and sometimes it takes multiple attempts because the dogs get spooked when someone approaches them.
The nights are really cold now, and we really need your support so we can save more animals like Pumpkin. If you missed our holiday video, you can see it here and I hope it will convince you to join us with a life-saving, end-of-year donation: www.HopeForPaws.org/campaigns...
On Thursday, I will post a new rescue video with Loreta and me - on a bridge over one of the busiest freeways in Los Angeles!
Thank you so much for your support!

Anyone who dumps a pet is no human being, this angers me and i'm glad this dog and all that get rescued can be helped. I would gladly adopt them all.

[@texasgal3903]

Why would anyone dump that sweet dog, she's just adorable! Cruel people!

[@eury5405]

She was beautiful too. Who the hell dumps any dog like this?! Take it to a shelter...reach out on social media...do something...DO NOT DUMP!😢

[@romystumpy1197]

Too many defective shallow people ,easy come easy go,which I do not associate with,on a better note hfp and team are amazing ,I'm glad shes safe now

[@missindependent1973]

Especially when there’s shelters who offer night drops for this exact reason. No questions asked

[@lindam2090]

Well research your shelter first. Some aren't taking any and others euthanize same day.

[@imgerrydee]

@@lindam2090 are you sure? Same day?

[@dcwatashi]

The original owner could have passed away, and the dog could’ve got loose or some evil family member dumped the dog

[@shimmyshookmybones]

I think a lot of us don't always consider how exhausting it is for these dogs living on the street (or in the gravel pits). They have to always be on alert, dozing instead of sleeping peacefully, because sleeping deeply makes them so vulnerable to the many many threats out there. It must have been such a relief for her to finally feel safe enough to rest - during her bath, during the brushing, then out like a light on the couch💜

[@calimero600]

There are so many people out there who think life on the streets is" freedom" and " nature". They don't want to understand that dogs and cats are domesticated animals who need our care. Also pidgeons!

[@shimmyshookmybones]

@calimero600 You're so right! I don't know where that mindset comes from but it's so frustrating and so, so harmful for the animals.

[@llchapman1234]

I was thinking the same thing as I watched Punpkin sleep. Sweet dreams ❤

[@hazelco8622]

Being loved is the best thing. Of course food, water, shelter and his needs-combing, bathing, vet, some training, and groomer depending on the breed. I have a dog and he knows he is loved.

[@Siobhan_OLaoghaire]

I will never understand how someone can just dump their pet. 😢

[@romystumpy1197]

They are and always have been defective people that do this,and they are the first to want hand outs .

[@marie-clauderecchia4531]

Me neither it is the most cowardly, most.miserable action😡

[@marioncapriotti1514]

@@marie-clauderecchia4531 - But not everyone who abandons a pet does so callously. Sometimes an elderly person dies with no will or caregivers; sometimes a person loses everything, including their home, and can no longer care for their beloved pet. Sometimes, the pet's homelessness and abandonment is the byproduct of the abandonment and homelessness of their human, who may have been more vulnerable than you're thinking (elderly, poor, mentally ill, etc.).

[@Siobhan_OLaoghaire]

There is *never* an excuse to abandon a pet. If grandpa dies and no one takes on his corgi, then they can take them to a shelter. NO EXCEPTIONS.

[@user-ws7qj4bh6i]

@@marioncapriotti1514 I don't have a dog because I am an elderly person, because I cannot take responsibility.That's the responsibility of love.

[@heidim6468]

Oh my goodness she is so so so beautiful. We love all you do HOPE FOR PAWS….DOANTE, VOLUNTEER, ADOPT.

[@KeePenne]

Im sure the truck drivers who fed Pumpkin are happy to see the video of her transformation, as well. It takes a village to rescue these animals. Thank you!! ❤

[@LLandS18]

I tell you whoever gets that dog is going to be very very lucky. What a sweetheart . The pup will make a beautiful best friend.

[@AtenaCosmo82]

May God bless each of you for helping these precious babies 🙏🏼

[@alianahernandez2701]

She reminds me alot of my girl who passed last year too young. Thank you for saving her and for making me remember my Marley Bear

[@kepnjem]

She hasn't got a bad bone in her body ❤ I'm lost for words how anyone could do this. That said, Pumpkin has now got the home she so deserves. 🐾🐾

[@drshoe8744]

What truly amazes me is how these sweet doggies can trust humans again.

[@eph2vv89only1way]

I know exactly how people can do this. They mean well although they are misguided. They often try to take them to no kill shelters but find that the shelters are full and can't take them. They mistakenly believe that the animals can survive and be happy if they release them so they do. They don't mean to be cruel. They think they are doing the best thing. While I have never done this, I have a relative who has and this was how she was thinking

[@johnsmith-qe2fd]

Wouldn't it be great if humans had this much compassion for the homeless.

[@user-yj8yq1pl3q]

Thanks you 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ Hope for paws 🐕🐈🐾🐈🐕❤️❤️🙏❤️👏👏❤️👍

[@anneterry3660]

Watching Pumpkin melt when stroked and given belly rubs, the warm water and gunk out of her coat, and sleeping safe and secure. Animals ask so little from us, love, food, shelter, occasionally medical care from a companion that will give unconditional love and loyalty.

[@dana5791]

Just heartbreaking to see a this beauty dumped. My highest respect to you rescuers. Your the true Heros in this world for God's creatures. 🙏👐😇

[@peng109]

This is why I continue to donate to Hope For Paws even though money is tight for me, I am so thankful for what they are doing,

Oh, she's so beautiful. May she find a home that deserves her. Thank you for rescuing her and showing her that not all humans are horrible.

[@sambesisky5517]

She loves your cuddles and hugs so much… I wish her a loving and caring home and a true forever human friend💞🐾🫶

[@dreamerbeautiful9929]

I'm so happy Pumpkin got a chance to be a happy dog with her responsible, lovely owner family in the near future. She is decent, and nice to humans. Her past life so far must be so terrible. She deserves the comfortable life to be loved so much.

[@lxn2850]

I'll never understand how anyone could just drop a pet in the middle of nowhere 😢. So glad you found her.❤

[@bluepurple1971]

Pets are forever they have a heart and soul they love us unconditionally until the end. Don't abandoned them ask for help ..

[@TarahMatson-zz2hj]

[@LisaBradley-un8mc]

I’m 😪😪😪 poor baby out there in that lonesome place alone. So happy she’s loved now.

[@ColorsofHopeCraftsASMR]

It’s one thing to take a dog to a shelter. It’s another thing to abandon it completely. We adopted four of our dogs from no-kill shelters, and they have been awesome! We still have two of them.

[@reenee622]

I hate people who do this-why?? Thank you Katie and the truckers who took care of her. What a beautiful dog! Bless you all🙏🏻❤️

[@andreawalker7138]

Pumpkin is such a sweet dog. She deserves a loving home and lots of pampering. Thanks to HFP & the gravel pit employees for helping her!

The transformation from scared survival mode to loving and trusting a human again after being dumped and probably abused before that is so heartwarming. Hope for Paws does tremendous work in saving all kinds of animals.
