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 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.

I get a feeling that many people tried real hard to get the trust of her and tried to be able to caress her and hug her, but she always kept her distance; and thus no one was able to "get her" and make her their pet, and finally someone said "there is no hope for us to do it, let's call the experts that will not end up putting her to sleep as many regular animal shelters do" and they called Hope for paws to save the day. BTW, those who shot pellets to her where ones who made her recovery longer........... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[@paladinsmith7050]

There's a lot of places that just kill the strays so that's probably why it was so long.

[@BlackHawkDown2]

4:55 She is completely hopeless and lost all trust in humans! Breaks my heart

[@6a66y69]

Wow she’s such a beautiful doggo ❤️

[@angelanguyen9799]

Who would shoot a dog I can’t right know that’s just sad

[@CloroxBleach-hq3st]

I remember when I was young I use to throw rocks at street dogs with my friends and we use to chase them down and now when I look back it makes me wanna cry

[@csgaming7137]

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. 😁

[@6a66y69]

Awh I felt bad when they got her but she’s ok 💕

[@FelixIsMyName]

That dog is so beautiful and it broke my heart to see how scared she was.

[@Allin7days]

It's a 10's of thousands of years old relationship purely built on trust and some low life shoots pellet gun at him...

[@NK-vc2vc]

That's one beautiful dog ❤ Happy new year everyone have a great year.. All my good wishes to Hope for Paws team.. You people are the real heros 😊😊

Get the bastards in jail and never let them see the light. If they hurt an animal now, they will later hurt a baby!

You don't know who the hell shot that dog, don't be racist and drag yourself down to dirt level as well.

Lilac is a sweet girl. I’m glad she found a human to love that loves her back.

[@JackalopeBunny]

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

[@emilymonahan5232]

Oh my goodness, such a sweet and precious dog! A really amazing transformation. It's so sad somebody shot her with a BB Gun, that totally sucks. Poor Lilac! Good thing she's in an amazing home now.

Sending love to JoAnn, she is awesome! So many epic rescues.

[@jenniferlennartz9297]

I just love, love, love seeing Lilac that happy in the end, but it breaks my heart that she had to suffer so much before :(

[@KittyChanS_]

I can’t help to cry ... the human can be a monster, and also it breaks my heart for everything that is happening right know in Australia also 🐨🦘🌳🔥

[@thelorelei2807]

Giselle Saavedra what? Just what? You can’t help to cry human can be a monster? 1 I’m sorry, you don’t know if someone abandoned her or she was a street dog. 2.what does Australia have to do ANYTHING with this video? (And I believe kangaroos don’t need trees? Unless it’s in a rainforest :/)

[@KittyChanS_]

The Lorelei first, do you know that the fire was made by a human, and second darling a street dog will never be scared like that, I beg someone hurt him or something in the past, if you are a vet like me tell me then. Third, do you know that in the fire died a BILLION OF ANIMALS? and why because a HUMAN started the fire And four,do you see how it’s our planet being deteriorating every decade? Look how it was every decade ago. Human only contaminates the planet darling. If the human didn’t exists the animals and the planet won’t be suffering of contamination. (And remember the trees it’s what makes oxygen the one the WE breathe and also the trees are alive)

[@mayerlysaavedra189]

The Lorelei *All I tell you is that WE ARE ALREADY FUCKED!!* 🤮 *And guess who started the disaster?* *Do you understand human cruelty?* 🙄

[@thelorelei2807]

Giselle Saavedra 1. Humans didn’t create fire. That’s why forest have forest fires- without humans helping. It actually helps forest grow stronger by killing unnecessary underbrush. 2. Street animals are very cautious of everything because they don’t live a posh life. They live life trying to survive without dying. My grandparents had an outdoor cat, and he would almost never let anyone near him and spent his days hunting squirrels. Hawks and neighboring dogs could kill him, so he was always careful. 3. You’re are most definitely NOT a vet, and I can tell by your understanding of animals and grammar. 4. Billions of animals have also died from other animals. They have also died of diseases. And guess what? Fires don’t kill all of the animals because look at what we still have. Billions of animals, whether domesticated or wild, they are still here. 5. no honey, no. Just no. Humans didn’t create fire, they just discovered how to use it. 6. Our planet isn’t going to die. In my opinion, everyone should know that. Our planet has gone through global warming before in the past, and just because of gas and “contamination” IT WILL NOT DIE. Also, people are planting trees, flowers, and other plants to filter the air. If you see what we have now, animal rescue centers for wild and domesticated animals, national parks that people can’t hunt or cut down trees in, and much more. If you look in the past few decades, the only thing that’s changed is : less stuff for both humans AND animals AND plants to thrive even if they are ill or being hunted. The whole “we’re killing our planet” stuff is bullshit.

[@Xenorvya]

@@thelorelei2807 Yeah you definitely don't understand or see anything, do you, "Darling"? (lmao that was "funny" to see this written in Giselle's comment)

[@michellewilliams4458]

When lilac was facing the wall in the cage I started to cry. I felt so bad for her but rejoice at the end. Im so happy she found a home. Lilac is one gorgeous dog. Thank you for rescuing her and giving her. Tanya thank you for giving her much love and patience.

[@elizabethholis237]

Did her coat color change? or was just lighting. Seemed darker later, but She was much happier.

[@ariellemiller8300]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@jessicamartel5920]

Probably as a result of the shaving, my dog has a darker area on his neck where he had to be shaved.

[@elizabethholis237]

Incredible transformation. Love the dog posse at the end. What fun!

[@rf3811]

Oh man! My heart feels as though it will burst! I just want to know who the devil is that shot her with a pellet gun??!! What kind of person is that? I am sorry, to all the precious animals, that people like this exist! It is more than shameful! May they suffer her pain every day 1000 times worse forever and eternity!

We rescued my dog from this family that abused him a lot and we named him Jackson

[@watchanimeandstramkpop8195]

This made me cry because just looking at her you could Shee she was hurt, you could see the hurt in her eyes and threw her actions and I just want to hug her and hold her and tell her it's alright because animals cry too, and I just felt she needs to shed a few years because she might have gone through some trauma
