Abby lived out in the desert for over two years. Loreta Frankonyte, JoAnn Wiltz and I headed out to this mobile home park - about 2.5 hours east of Los Angeles. We were told by the woman who fed her that during this whole time, she wasn't able to ever get close enough to touch Abby.
I am very lucky to have such an amazing team with me, and Abby is really lucky that Hope For Paws was called for this mission :-)
Please share this video with your family and friends this holiday.
If you would like to adopt Abby, please contact our friends at Smooch Pooch Rescue: www.SmoochPoochRescue.com

I was a pet groomer for over 35 years and I couldn't tell you how many times I clipped more than a pound of matted hair off of dogs that were owned by a person! Sometimes the dog didn't want to go home with the owner! As a groomer of over 35 years, may I suggest Andis clippers over those noisy Oster clippers. Much quieter and less stressful on the dog.

[@carleenpring3404]

Totally agree with you. I am a retired groomer and I've just put my 30year old set of andis in the bin! 😔😊

[@grumerguy]

@@carleenpring3404 I remember the first time I used the Andis clippers. I had been so used to my old Osters that I was really unsure of how the Andis would hold up. I was really surprised. They were lighter, quieter, and maintenance on them was so much easier! I am retired now myself, but I still have my old set of andis.

No. It shows that she wanted all of that crap off of her body. Plus, the vibration of the shaver probably was a sensation that felt good to her and calmed her.

Everyone here trying to be the next dog whisper star. Anyway with Covid 19 and other diseases being passed to and from animals, people need to rethink kissing animals. I never let my pooch lick me nor do I kiss him. I groom him as best I can until I take him to my cousin a groomer, give him the treats and toys he likes best (he is a very picky fella). He sleeps in our room, but he knows he isn't allowed on any of the beds except for his. He was trained that way not only for our well being, but for his own well-being as well.

[@sarahbrown5373]

I was blown away by the fact that she thought to scruff the dog.....it's something no one else would think to do, dogs aren't the kind of animals that you can usually scruff. I guess she saw all that hair and realised it would be the quickest and safest way to grab the dog, and she did well. She's really clever!

[@KENTUCKYUSA1]

Poodles can't shed so their fur just keeps growing. They have to be clipped regularly. Incredible to see how much fur and filth were removed from this precious doggy.

[@sarahbrown5373]

their skin is so thin and tender, as well, so she would have been suffering a lot over the time that all that weight was pulling on her skin. It took them a long time to be very careful, and they did a wonderful job. I've had to bathe poodles before, their skin is really delicate.

[@KENTUCKYUSA1]

It apparently depends on the particular labradoodle. They are considered low to non-shedders. Those with fleece or wool type coats are non-shedders, those with straight coats shed a little. There are several breeds of canines that do not shed. You can google them if you want a non- allergenic doggo or just a dog that is less trouble to clean up after. I always just keep the stray dogs that wander in to my farm, whether they shed or not.

What's surprising is that most times the dog is like, "oh, glad to see you. What took you so long...c'mon, let's go!"

[@amyw7731]

When I first got my dog, he was my neighbors dog, he was neglected and matted so bad his eyes were matted shut, his leg was matted to his side, and I had trouble finding his tail, which was matted at a bent angle to his side. I was so mad at the neighbors for treating him so badly, but relieved that I was able to talk them in to letting me have him. Which sadly, but thankfully, didn't take much convincing because they did't want him at all anyway. He would go to the bathroom in their house, they never took him outside, and would spend most of his time under their bed. As soon as I got him in my arms, I knew I had his trust. I gave him a hair cut, his eyes were so sad, gave him a warm bath, and cuddled him in my arms until he was dry. Though he didn't give me much of a choice but to hold him, I admit that I didn't want to let him go either. The first time I took him for a walk, all he did was lay flat on the grass. He had no clue. Now, he is still always glued to my side, but trusts more people, and LOVES going for multiple walks a day. I can't imagine someone being so cruel to an animal that looks to us for help. The emotion in their eyes always gets me in these videos. It reminds me of when I first got to see my Cody's eyes, I cry every time. Thanks for all that you do, it means the world to me and many others out here that can't do all that you do. And, I love donating to a cause that I hold so close to my heart. Thanks!

[@amyw7731]

@RaggsNation Thank you very much! I agree! There is nothing that I love more than to know that I am who he goes to when he wants to feel safe. I have no idea what type of person could ever treat any living thing that badly. I'm just happy that I have him now. At first, I didn't even know that they had him in their house. But, their daughter came up to me and said something about him. My heart broke and I knew I had to take him in. I was so lucky that they agreed so easily though. But, as soon as I had him in my arms, he just cuddled right in. I know that he was abused. I was told by their daughter that he was kicked and thrown around, as a puppy, so no wonder why he hid under their bed all the time. But, now, he knows he runs the house and gets spoiled all the time. He truly is a blessing in my life.

[@hidayat1999]

[@amyw7731]

@RaggsNation I agree! Well said. I have to say that I am looking forward to seeing my baby, Jett when I get up there too. He was a very special dog to me. He was hit by a car. I laid with him at the animal hospital until he was gone, and had a really hard time leaving his side even after that. But, I know I will see him and all of my loved ones again when it's my time. Now, I just want to do whatever I can to help those in need while I am here. I hope you have a Blessed New Year as well, and many years to come. Thanks for the inspiration!

The right gentle pup will complete your journey when you're ready. They bring a kind of love you won't find elsewhere. It's very special. ❤

[@angeliclike3623]

One day you will have the sweetest fury friend in the world. Golden retrievers are very smart. Definitely get a puppy so you can both grow together. Best wishes

People say, "All dogs go to heaven." Then, they'll be telling some stories about good hoomans they've met, who cared for them and loved them until they really go home to His arms.

Abby is adorable!! her dinosaur name is Abbysaurus Rex. I am sure that she will find a home soon, because she is such a sweetheart. hopefully whoever adopts her, they will have another dog for her to bond with. Abby needs all the love that she can get.

How could someone throw out such a sweet dog? It’s disgusting. Look at how trusting she is despite all she’s been through. Dogs are amazing.

People die and their dogs often don't get a new home; just pushed out on the street.

I BELIEVE Abby NEEDS to STAY in the home that first gave her LOVE after so long not having it!! HINT...HINT...😉🐶💖 She NEEDS to cuddle constantly with the first 'hooman' she gave a hug too...HINT...HINT...Loretta!!💖💖😁😉

I agreed with you!

[@smilezx477]

If Abby was to be called a dinosaur name It'd be a ❌ Abelisaurus ❌ A theropod dinosaur during the Late Cretaceous Period of what is now South America.

[@theleft-handedviolinist1074]

Abby looks like a Chinese Crested powderpuff and whoever ended up adopting her is lucky and blessed

Loretta is litteraly the person that seems to get the dog to come to her. Is she a magical 🧙‍♂️wizard ?

I have watched where Eldad would sit for hours gaining a dogs trust so he could slip the lucky leash on it.

She's an Angel who God send to save all stray dogs. I'm definitely sure.

[@maribethspence9458]

I believe it's because she isn't at all afraid of them. She just doesn't seem to worry about whether they might bite or not. She just wants to save these beautiful babies.

What a transformation! Couldn’t hold back my tears

[@customer5032]

Thank you to Joie for feeding this sweet girl for 2 years, and also any neighbors who helped. Amazing rescue, and wow what a cutie she was under all of that filthy, matted fur! Abby and Bonnie actually looked a lot alike; I was sort of hoping you and Loreta would "foster fail" and adopt her! But I know that you have to keep finding a home for each dog so you can keep rescuing and fostering more. Merry Christmas! 🎄🐾🎄🐾

[@Mmspacecandy]

I'm so curious how she'll look when her fur grows out a bit (with proper grooming so it doesn't mat). I bet it's beautiful.

[@patriciabeeftink7931]

I have to be careful when I start watching these if I have to be anywhere by a certain time. I start watching, and before I know it, hours have passed. Every state should have a rescue organization as great as this one. They really know the psychology of these dogs and what's needed to rescue them in different situations.
