HopeForPaws

Little Sunny wanted to have a home and a family to love her again. She took refuge on a porch and kept trying to sneak into the house. When we received the text on the #HopeForPaws emergency line, Loreta Frankonyte and I headed out to get her. My car was being fixed that day, so I didn't have my equipment with me. We had to quickly come up with an idea because these little Chihuahuas get nervous and we didn't want her to run away. We ended up using a trick you have never seen before on our channel ❤️ After the rescue was accomplished and bath + medical care were provided, she continued to our friends at #LAAnimalRescue for foster and then found her the most amazing home. Loreta and I just got to visit her, and by the end of this video, you'll see a completely different, happy, confident dog. Don't you worry - L.A. Animal Rescue has many other dogs, cats, bunnies, pigs, ducks, and chickens for adoption, so if you're looking to grow your family, please click here: https://www.LAAR.org So many animals are abandoned every year. We know many stories of people who passed away, and the families of these people just "got rid" of their loved ones' pets. Please don't let this happen to your pet... this is something you owe your dogs and cats - a place to spend the rest of their lives. We want to prevent these cases, so we figured out a great solution: https://www.hopeforpaws.org/who_will_... Please complete this will, and should anything unexpected happens to you, your pets will be safe! If you have any questions, you are welcome to write to us and ask. Thank you so much! Eldad

Special thanks to all the people who donated and helped us nurse him back to health. I am so happy he is in his loving forever home with Avi & Tali, I am so grateful to Erica Johnson for fostering him, and I really appreciate the special care he got at the Veterinary Care Center in Hollywood. The song in this video (Pinch me) was written by Audrey's grandfather, Joseph Sinay. The video of Troy's rescue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgbgch...

Acacia was so scared of humans, and even when JoAnn Wiltz from Hope For Paws and Jacqueline Artecona from Pitties and Pals approached her, she wasn't willing to surrender easily. After the rescue was accomplished and the benign tumors were removed, Acacia completely changed and she is super happy, loving, and she now needs your help with finding a loving forever home. Acacia is now in her foster home in San Diego with our friends at It's The Pits and if you would like to meet her and adopt her, please contact them directly: http://www.ItsThePits.org Veterinary care is so expensive and we really need your help. Please make a small donation to Hope For Paws and help us save many more lives: https://www.HopeForPaws.org Thanks :-) Eldad

I had no idea this rescue will turn to be like that... Sunshine was fighting with everything she had! Between Brenda, Loreta and I, we were able to gain control over this terrier who almost got away! When we have more Hope For Paws members, we are able to do more rescues. If you are able to make a small donation today, we would LOVE your support so we can save even more lives: https://www.HopeForPaws.org If you would like to adopt Sunshine, please visit our friends at Much Love who are currently fostering her and will handle her adoption: https://www.MuchLove.org Thank you so much for sharing this video with your family and friends :-) Eldad https://www.HopeForPaws.org

I have been doing this work for many years and this was crazy... I can't believe how this rescue ended, and the reunion at the end will melt your heart. Without support from our donors, these stories will have a very different ending to them. We work so hard, day and night, and we just need more people to join us as Hope For Paws members with a small donation: https://www.HopeForPaws.org Tiffy and Sophie were adopted, but there are many others who are still looking for a home. Please check out the pages of animals who are looking for a home on our website. Thanks :-) Eldad

Being a mother is tough, and I can't imagine doing it alone, on the streets, in a dirty place! Because you share our videos, someone knew to call #HopeForPaws for help! Hello everybody, it's Eldad, the founder of Hope For Paws. Before telling you about Waffles and her babies, I wanted to share my concerns with you as those keep me awake at night (it's after midnight and I still have work to do). As the world is still struggling with the pandemic, times are tough here too. Veterinary care is extremely expensive, and with AT LEAST 10 complex surgeries every week, and with dozens of hospitalized animals that we help every week, we have been paying bills at a faster rate than we're raising funds. In general, it's hard for me to ask for help... all my life I found myself having to figure things out by myself, but we're in a tough spot and I am nervous writing these lines because I know we have many more animals that will need our help in the coming weeks, months and years. The good news is that our power is in numbers - we're a huge community here on #YouTube, so I am not asking for large donations, but instead, I am asking for NY of you to help us with small recurring donations. Recurring donations enable me to know every month how much funds we have available, and that determines how much we can do. We LOVE our work, we would LOVE to do even more, and we can only do it with your support: https://www.HopeForPaws.org It's critical for me that you understand that our average donation is $12. Think about it... all the Hope For Paws videos you watched, all the surgeries performed, all the lives you have seen transformed, all the happy wags and meows - all of this is happening from your $12 donations! I can't imagine my life not being able to do this work, and I really hope you can join us today with just a $5 donation (16 cents a day). I promise to work harder and post more videos so you'll see your donation in action 😎👍 The math is actually cool now that I am thinking about it. $5 a month is 16 cents a day (a dime + a nickel + a penny). $12 a month is 40 cents a day (a quarter + a dime + a nickel). OK, back to this story 😊 I just need to warn you... this video is not for everybody and kids (maybe some adults) should watch it with their parents, so please go ahead and call your mom to sit and watch this one with you. I have seen this miracle happen so many times since I was a young kid, and even now, decades later, I am still amazed at this beauty created by nature. JoAnn Wiltz and Katie McKittrick handled the whole situation beautifully, and I am so happy to share this video with you - the timing with Mother's Day couldn't be more perfect ❤️ We created a special Mother's Day card here that you can send to every mother you know and love - remember, your sister who adopted a kitten is also a mom, your aunt, your friend who has kids (humans or canines), your teacher, and even I feel like a mom to so many animals: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/Mothers_D... When you share our videos, you are helping us so much so please help us spread the word, and PLEASE let me know if this is an OK video for you to watch and if you would like to see more like these. To apply to adopt Waffles and her puppies, please contact our friends at: http://www.AngelCityPits.org Thank you so much! Eldad

It doesn't matter how much experience you have - a bite is always painful and I always ask my team to do whatever they need to do to avoid it as it can affect their ability to go on the next rescue. JoAnn Wiltz and Alex Babcock headed out to rescue Kyle, and I am really happy they didn't get injured after he got away three times! Luckily, Alex managed to get him as he was making a run for it 😎👍 Kyle suffered from Plasma Cell Pododermatitis ("Pillow foot"), and he is now feeling much better. It is kitten season out there, and it's raining kittens over here. We just had to buy so much kitten formula, hospitalize a few sick kittens, and this will keep happening for the next two months (at least)! If you can, we would LOVE IT if you could join us with a $5 monthly donation to help us save many more lives. We are going to be a much stronger organization if we can find 20 people to donate $5 each than if we find one person to donate $100: https://www.HopeForPaws.org ❤️ If you would like to adopt Kyle, please contact our friends at The Kitty Bungalow: https://www.KittyBungalow.org Thank you so much for your support! Eldad

This video is so important because of the cool new trick I came up with while sitting with Rosie under a truck for more than an hour. Please share it with everybody you know... it can help save the lives of so many. https://www.HopeForPaws.org Always remember to be VERY CAREFUL when approaching puppies - especially when you don't know how the mom would behave. It can be dangerous. Thanks :-)

Sterling was rescued just because you share our rescue videos and because of that, people know to call Hope For Paws for help! YES, it is true - you can buy our Lucky Leash on our website, and 100% of the profits go towards rescuing more animals. The more leashes we sell, the more animals we can save: http://www.HopeForPaws.org We're making amazing progress with our donation goal, and together I know we can do it... we just need another push :-) Thank you so much Hope Ranch for working with Hope For Paws. Sterling is such a great dog, and I was so happy to visit him a couple of weekends ago in his new home... having the best time of his life with so many other doggie friends.

In areas where there are so many coyotes, every mission to find food can end where babies are left without someone to take care of them. Luckily, the students at the school noticed that the mom was not coming back and they reported that to the teacher who knew to call Hope For Paws for help! On day 1 I headed out with JoAnn Wiltz, but the kittens were too scared and confused about the disappearance of their mom and we couldn't get them. We asked the teacher to feed them every day for a few days so they will feel more comfortable to come out of their hiding spot and eat. Once the new routine was established, JoAnn headed out again, and with help from the teacher, she got all of them :-) If you would like to adopt Spider Monkey, Bonobo, tamarin or lemur, please contact our friends at Kitty Bungalow who are fostering them: https://www.KittyBungalow.org Rescues like this are possible thanks to our supporters who donate and share our rescue videos. If you are not a Hope For Paws member yet, please join us with a small donation so we can focus on doing more rescues and spend less time on fundraising to pay for their medical care: https://www.HopeForPaws.org Thank you so much! Eldad

When we got the call about Chaplin, Loreta Frankonyte and I rushed to the location and didn't have time to get a cheeseburger. Luckily, a little girl offered her cheeseburger and it made all the difference! Rescues like this are possible only thanks to your donations, and I really hope you can join our team today with a small contribution - it will help us save many more animals: https://www.HopeForPaws.org We just added NEW leashes to our Lucky Leash store on the website, and you can also check out all the animals we have for adoption - not just dogs and cats ;-) If you would like to adopt Chaplin, please contact our friends at Smooch Pooch Dog Rescue: http://www.SmoochPoochRescue.com Many of you asked to send Hope For Paws letters, so I wanted to share our mailing address: Hope For Paws 8950 W. Olympic Blvd #525 Los Angeles, CA 90211 We always love seeing pictures of your pets and reading your letters :-) Please share Chaplin's video so we can find him a home. Thanks! Eldad

With your donations, we are making dreams come true! Please help us with a small donation here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org Vida Tuch followed Pipa for a long time and she knew to contact Hope For Paws for help. By the time I arrived at the location, Pipa was so tired and she fell asleep on an old mop. In my imagination, she was dreaming about her rescue and how her life turns to be amazing, and at the moment she woke up and I had a loop around her :-) After securing her, I asked her if she would join me on a rescue nearby before going to the hospital, and we went together to rescue Corey. You will see what happens... just make sure to watch until the end to see a special technique to scratch your back. If you would like to adopt Pipa (the dog), please contact our friends at Lionel's Legacy: http://lionelslegacy.org If you would like to adopt Corey, please contact Hope For Paws: https://www.HopeForPaws.org Thanks, Eldad

The best way for us to make friends with dogs we need to rescue is to offer them a cheeseburger. Offering a smelly warm treat helps us establish that we're there to help, and many times it reduces the levels of stress right away. Today I would like to ask everybody to make a small donation to our Cheeseburger Fund here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org JoAnn knew she is heading out to rescue a BIG Pit Bull, so she got him a DOUBLE cheeseburger and it all worked out really well :-) After receiving a bath and medical care, Hippo continued to his foster home with our friends at L.A. Animal Rescue and he is now ready for his forever home! If you would like to adopt him, please contact them directly: https://www.LAAR.org If you can't adopt him, please share his video with your friends... this guy deserves an amazing home! Thank you so much, Eldad

To really appreciate this video, please watch their rescue first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjwDy... In a couple of days, we will celebrate a R MILESTONE - can you guess what it is?? The video to celebrate it is ready, but first we need to reach the goal! Let's see how many of you will figure it out :-) Loreta would like to email all our supporters, so if you will click here and leave your name and email, she will send you a special update in a couple of days: https://www.hopeforpaws.org/join Thanks, Eldad

I really need your help today. Please ask Amazon to support #HopeForPaws by clicking here: http://smile.amazon.com/ch/26-2869386 - just two clicks at zero cost to you will help us save even more lives 🐶❤️😺 The story of Karina in the junkyard and her friendship with Peeka and Boo reminded me of a very special video by #Pixar called KitBull - here is a link to this short film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZS5cgybKcI - it really is a MUST MUST SEE video! Please help us save more dogs and cats who just need someone kind to change their lives. Your donation will send us on the next rescue mission tomorrow morning: https://www.HopeForPaws.org Karina has a long way to recovery but she can be adopted! She will continue receiving medication to deal with her heartworm, she needs to remain pretty calm and this is why we didn't let her run around like crazy and play, but soon enough, she will be perfectly fine. We will of course continue to pay for her medication until she is 100% healthy. If you missed the video of PEEKA and BOO, here is a link for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZcJb46aEZo If you would like to meet her, please talk to our friends at #LAAnimalRescue - they are fostering her and they will handle her adoption: https://www.LAAnimalRescue.org - they have many other dogs for adoption too. Thank you so much for helping us save her life! Eldad #HopeForPaws #Dog #Dogs #Pet #Pets #DogRescue #AnimalRescue #Animal #Animals #Eldad #Rescue #Rescuing #EldadHagar

Every person who donates becomes a part of this life-saving family - these animals would have suffered so much without your support. Please join us today with a small donation so we can save many more animals: https://www.HopeForPaws.org It's an unusually cold winter over here, and Tempo was so lucky that someone knew to call #HopeForPaws for help. Katie McKittrick and Alex Babcock headed out and changed his life. Tempo is now with our friends at The Kitty Bungalow and is waiting for someone to fill out an application for his adoption here: https://www.KittyBungalow.org Thanks ❤️ Eldad

To make a donation and help us save more lives, please visit: http://www.HopeForPaws.org Thank you so much Lionel's Legacy for finding Wally such an incredible home!!! Please consider adopting a senior dog and visit their pack: http://www.LionelsLegacy.org Thanks for sharing this video :-) Eldad Wally was treated so badly all his life. According to his previous owners, he lived outside all his life, kids threw firecrackers at him, and they did pretty much nothing to defend him. You can see his rescue video on the Hope For Paws website: http://www.HopeForPaws.org Wally escaped a few times when he had the opportunity, but because of his microchip, people always returned him to his owners. When Loreta Frankonyte and I found him, we knew we were facing a problem. LEGALLY, we have to return a dog to their owners if he is microchipped... it's just the law. We called the owner, started really nice, tried to figure out why does she have a dog in such terrible shape, running the streets, injured and suffering from pneumonia. The owner very quickly got defensive - "I don't appreciate you implying that I am not a good owner". Luckily for Wally, at the end of the conversation she told us she doesn't want that OLD DOG anyway!!! PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can see what happened next, see photos and read Loreta's thoughts about this rescue, here: https://www.facebook.com/xoxoloreta Our friends from Lionel's Legacy found Wally an incredible home with a beautiful family, and as a bonus, he also has a beautiful girlfriend named Bunny! You just have to watch this video until the end so you can meet her too ❤️💙 Please click here to see the video: http://www.HopeForPaws.org I know you will love this short video 😊 Eldad

CHIP & DALE were so lucky to be spotted by two Hope For Paws fans who knew exactly who to call for help! The big storm was approaching and the L.A river was about to be flooded!

The sad truth about this story is that JoAnn Wiltz also found two additional kittens who were already dead. We didn't want to get blocked or have the video have an age restriction, but it's just the reality - it's rough out there for cats who are giving birth in challenging places where it's hard for tiny babies to survive. Luckily JoAnn was able to save two of her babies - Fromage and Baguette. A week later, JoAnn found an abandoned kitten named Escargots, and mama Paris adopted him and she nursed him back to health. Paris was feral, so she was released to an FIV positive colony where she will have food and medical care when she needs it. We are working hard to spay and neuter thousands of cats so we can reduce the number of animals suffering out there but we need your help with that. It cost an average of $60 to spay/neuter a cat. If every viewer will donate just $1, we will be able to help so many more animals: https://www.HopeForPaws.org If you can't make a donation today, please download our FREE Hope For Paws APP from the APP Store or from Google Play and sign up for email alerts - it helps us send reminders once a month about exciting projects we're working on and we don't want you to miss. To adopt these cuties, please contact our friends at the Kitty Bungalow: https://www.KittyBungalow.org - they are the kitten experts in Los Angeles! Also, I noticed that many of you are not following us on Instagram yet, so here is the link to do so: https://www.instagram.com/hopeforpaws... I will see you there - I just posted something really funny ;-) Thanks, Eldad
