This man is a hero. He sacrificed his time, efforts, and resources just to rescue the dogs in the desert. Who would have done what he did and what he is still doing? We need more people like this man. Btw, can they not get in touch with Eldad of Hope for Paws? They are good at rescuing animals in whatever setting. They respond right away. I have been following their channel.

[@ABCstockholm007]

@@orlalolo4585 Actually this is not true. Well we all dont know about hell/heaven of course because it would be "after life". But I can tell you in my life most things are horrible. I have a abusive family, a deady very painful illness, social structures are quite bad in our city too, I can list a million things that are "like hell". Yet I helped these animals, trying to make this horrible world (for some horrible, others are more lucky) a better place. But "Karma" didnt came to me. You dont get luck in life by helping others. But you bring luck to the ones needing help. Thats how it is

[@jcash3535]

No Elad of Hope is a fraud who uses the dogs to raise MILLIONS of dollars for himself - he does not pay the vet bills, hands the dogs over to small rescues to do the hard work- Goggle it - he makes millions and millions of dollars and it’s certainly not who you think he is. The rescue community in LA know he’s a fraud

Dogs do just fine in the desert. It's just when they don't have food and water, but that's bad anywhere.

[@marigarcia8]

I've seen this story. They weren't abandoned. An old man by himself out there wanted to start or did start a rescue but unfortunately he died.

[@CovfefeDotard]

@@marigarcia8 why in a desert why not in a city where there’s water and food

[@marigarcia8]

@Covfefe Dotard BLM good question. I have no clue lol ... unfortunately we'll never know since the old man passed away....but property is very much cheaper out in the desert (and you can own alot more) compared to the city.

[@heypistolero]

@@CovfefeDotard I would argue that this particular area would be better than in a city. Less chance of being roadkill, less chance of hurting someone and getting put down by animal control. Of course this does not apply to all deserts or cities

I took on a feral colony of what I thought were 10 cats, turned out was 35. Over 7 years I persisted in trapping fixing and feeding and trying to give shelter on my own dime. Eventually the site was condemned for construction and the cats had to either not be fed or found homes... 20 went to one barn home, 5 to another. 3 were put down (disease and illness we could not cure), 2 went to a sanctuary including a peg leg older female with FIV. She got an amputation of the peg broken leg and felt much better once that happened. I took 2. It took 7 years of my life every day (rain or shine) feeding and watering and looking after them...trapping with a drop trap for MONTHS and coordinating care. I had 8 giant dog cages in my basement for months over winter and did 2 per week for weeks... almost a year it took to get them all... Teacup the last little cat was lonely and finally I got her trapped. When she got to the new barn home, she immediately found her best bud there, and they would wait daily for the feral feeder who I knew to feed them in the barn home they had. It made me cry to know they were safe and at least being fed every other day if not daily... with shelter if they needed it, no cars, no horrible people to harrase them. I lost alot of money was broke sometimes and barely affording food, but when I go to my rest I can say... I did something few would do. And it was SO worth it.

There's no way any of the 12 would have survived without this wonderful man dedicating his time and effort to making sure they had food and clean water. I know it took a long time to earn their trust, but once he did, those doggies were well on their way to living the lives they DESERVE to live: in a loving home where they are safe, healthy, and spoiled rotten.
