Homeless, injured, scared to trust humans, but then things took a sharp turn!

We love what we do! Our work can be dangerous, unpredictable, but we do it for the love of animals. We almost made it to our fundraising goal for 2019 - will you please join us? There are just a few hours left until the end of this KZbin campaign.
Lilac was scared of humans and she needed help. JoAnn Wiltz and Katie McKittrick got the call for this one, and they headed out. JoAnn is the veteran here and Katie just joined our team, and together they managed to accomplish this rescue successfully.
At the hospital, they learned that Lilac was injured (it looks like she was shot by a pellet gun), she had many embedded foxtails that caused an abscess (you will see the staples on the side of her body in the X-Ray). The worst injury was to her spirit... she was so sad, she didn't want anyone to touch her, and we knew that the next step is training with someone who can help her come out of her shell.
Our friend and trainer, Farren Mahone, turned around many dogs for us, and we knew she was the one who will accomplish this job successfully: / boardnbehave
I don't want to tell you how it looks when it's all over because it will take away all the fun and joy!
Please watch, share, like, subscribe, and donate if you can so we can open 2020 with many more rescues.
Thank you so much,
Eldad

This is the most traumatizing rescue I've seen HFP do. I don't understand why the rescuer didn't bother letting her eat the burger first, and take the time to build her trust. She was so hungry, and so scared, it makes no sense to snap her up like that when she was barely venturing near. It hurt my heart to see her shut down so hard after that. It had to be the way she was captured. This girl must have been a rookie. She looks like she needed supervision. It's too bad such a sweet dog had to have such a bad time of it when every other HFP rescue I've watched has been patient and gentle.

[@NissrineA74]

@@Revolution-tl5wo I hate to be judgmental toward rescuers because they are doing what I am not but wish to be, BUT I agree on that one with you. I would not say it was the most traumatizing of all their videos but my first reaction when she placed the gentle snare on her so suddenly was like damn that was so quick and sudden that it freaked her out so much. But then again, who knows, she might have finished her food then taken off and they could miss their chance of catching her. Each dog & rescue is different. A couple of moments of terror and fear are worth a lifetime of happiness for a dog, esp. one like this one who was scared and skittish from the start. I mean she was crossing the roads and could easily have gotten hit by a car...Maybe Eldad would have done it more slower and in a gentler way. I think she was shut down before that rescue because someone shot her several times with a bibi gun.

looking at her behavior, the way she pressed her face in the wall, it tore me . Tanja, thank you for adopting her. I would love to get an update of her status today (5/22).II don’t know how many times I’ve read comments like “ If I had my own place” , “ If I had money” , “ If I lived closer”… and/or “ Bless you” , “ God created you to help animals” , “ There’s a place in hell for animal abusers” . I just want to say there are many ways to help - maybe you can’t adopt the animal featured in the video because you live 1,009 miles away- go to a shelter closer to you and adopt . Maybe your landlord won’t allow pets - volunteer a couple of hours a week at a nearby shelter. Maybe you are living check to check and can barely afford to feed your kids - next time you see a stray, injured, or abused animal do something to help instead of pretending you didn’t see anything or leaving it to the next person who passes by. Report animal abusers, call your local Humane Society or Police - you can remain anonymous. you can also help by not buying animals from pet stores and back yard breeders. You can helo by teaching others to respect animals and be compassionate. you can help by pushing for more laws to protect animals and impose larger fines and punishments for abusers. I don’t know if God created someone specifically to help Animals but I do know God did not create people to harm animals.

Oh my gosh I've never something so heartbreaking as a dog facing a wall like that 😥 this makes me so happy there are people like Hope For Paws that help this for animals just like this. 😁

[@roscimist]

Aww this husky was so adorable. This was my favorite video of 2019. It sad cause I really want to donate but I'm broke. So I send lots of prayers for hope for paws and lots of love.

[@foreverskrillex]

Donate to your local animal shelter, not big organizations like this

[@arawmango4187]

Cheyenne I agree, local shelters need donations as well :/

[@JackalopeBunny]

She is so pretty, how could anyone do that to such a cutie.

[@selinafrancesca8112]

She's so beautiful... seeing her so sad broke me. How can people be so cruel? Thank you so much for giving her a chance at a better life.

[@crytex5618]

Dogs are the most loyal and trustable beings on this planet. When I saw Lailac facing a wall, I have never seen a dog doing that, I dont wanna think for a second what she's been trough, unimaginable. Thank you for rescuing her, she's very beautiful.

[@rye7968]

[@jasminelimones6229]

When she just hid her face everything my heart 💔 so glad she is happy again 😊

[@user-jr6lm2nz8n]

I saw a dog with such a sad face for the first time. From now on, you've been bullied by mean people, and you'll be happy to have lots of gentle people love you. Thank you for this dog Thank you for your wonderful activities.

[@andreafeatherston8203]

It breaks my heart to see so many dogs thrown and abused by people. They are loving and only want to please their masters. Some people are just disgusting

[@ginmarie6884]

Those little yips and whines as she's trying to get away are just heart breaking.

[@oliviaslife3957]
