It was so sad to see the #chameleon the day JoAnn got him, and it was so cool to see him today after he healed so nicely. #BobRoss is not native to California and he wouldn't have survived out here. Also, his rotting tail could have caused an infection that would have killed him. Here at #HopeForPaws we are growing the list of animals we rescue, dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, pigs, donkeys, and now we have a chameleon. What animal would you LOVE to see us rescue? 🙃 In the past 10 days we posted 6 new rescue videos, and YouTube tells me you missed a few of them, so here is where you can catch up: https://www.HopeForPaws.org To apply to adopt this super special guy who changes colors, please contact our friends at https://www.RARN.org Thank you so much for your support! Eldad

I was pretty stunned when the owner told me over the phone he is going to "shoot the pig so he wouldn't suffer". From the picture, I could tell he was not dying and that he can definitely heal. Loreta Frankonyte and I drove out to the desert, met with Martina (who knew to call us for help). Working together and with a great tip from our friends at #LAAnimalRescue we accomplished the first #HopeForPaws pig rescue ❤️ We are about to celebrate our 13th Anniversary for Hope For Paws and I hope many more of you will be able join us as members in celebration of so many rescues: https://www.HopeForPaws.org After the rescue, we drove to L.A. Animal Rescue who offered to foster him and follow through with his medical care. Plácido did lose most of his left ear, but if you'll watch until the end, you'll learn exactly how to give pigs belly rubs that they LOVE! If you would like to adopt Plácido or Hank, if you would like to adopt a chicken or a duck, please contact our friends at: https://www.LAAnimalRescue.org Thank you so much for your support!!! Eldad

I don't even know what to say anymore... this stuff is just NOT OK! These animals depended on and trusted their owner, and they were treated like garbage. Having so many ticks on can easily kill a dog! If you missed Dennis' video on the #HopeForPaws channel, please watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX0lz... We are overwhelmed with so many calls about abandoned animals and as you can see, one rescue like this can take a whole day. Please click here to join the Hope For Paws family: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/family - joining here is FREE and it will enable me, Loreta, JoAnn, and Katie to text you with important announcements or when there is an emergency that WE need YOU to know about. Thank you so much for donating and helping us save these animals and provide them with the best medical care - they owe you their lives and they love you and appreciate you ❤️ If you would like to adopt Java, Boogie, Sheriff, or Sabrina, please contact our friends at #LAAnimalRescue who are currently fostering these kids: https://www.LAAR.org Our viewership is low these days and so our videos are not recommended to as many people as they used to. I want to share a list of our most popular videos EVER and I would love for you to tell me what popular video was out there and you can't believe missed it until today: https://www.youtube.com/c/hopeforpaws...

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

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: On Tuesday morning, #GivingTuesday, we will have a SUPER SPECIAL video for you!!! Please make a note to yourself to come back - it's going to be SO COOL! Sardine, Salmon and Squid were so lucky that someone heard them cry and called Hope For Paws for help. There was way for these kittens to get into the trash bin without being thrown in deliberately! The bin was huge, there was no food in there... it's just terrible that someone would do such a thing :-( JoAnn Wiltz and Lisa Arturo headed out and saved all of them and now we need everybody to SHARE this story so we can find them homes. I will see you on Tuesday for a special (human) celebrity appearance on our channel ;-) Eldad

After Noelle Hetzel spotted Honey Pepper, she knew to call Hope For Paws for help because she has been following our work for a while :-) Noelle was concerned about the huge medical bill that is coming our way in order to save this special dog, so she painted our Lucky Leash on a model and other than this beautiful result, she was also able to raise over a thousand of dollars towards Honey-Pepper's vet bill. I will post the photo on our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeforpaws... If you would like to follow Noelle's work or thank her for being so amazing and for waiting for Loreta Frankonyte and I battled traffic to get to her and for helping us raise funds, please visit her YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQMIM... Our rescue work is so expensive because the animals we rescue are animals that live on the streets and are at constant risk of getting hit by cars. Please become a Hope For Paws team member today with a small donation: https://www.HopeForPaws.org If you would like to adopt Honey Pepper, please contact our amazing friends at L.A Animal Rescue. They took care of her after her surgery and as she recovered, they helped her gain trust in humans again and the result is beautiful! If you would like to adopt Honey Pepper, please contact them directly: https://www.LAAnimalRescue.org Thank you so much for sharing her story on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram :-) Eldad

We just reached 4 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!! THANK YOU for being a part of this amazing team :-) If every subscriber would donate just $1, we will be able to save so many more lives! Please join us today here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org Thank you Doggie Tahiti for fostering the kittens: http://doggietahiti.net/ If you would like to adopt these cuties, please contact our friends at Let Them Be Little: http://www.ltblrescue.org/ Thanks!!! Eldad

Mama Bear is a super-smart mom... she was not going to make it easy for me to save her and her family! She was hoping I would give up and go home, but here at #HopeForPaws we never give up! Every minute we don't have to spend on fundraising for these animals is a minute we're out there, saving lives. If you can, please join us with a small recurring donation here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org - Just $5 from every viewer would help us save so many more animals! The real hero of this story is Buzz. This kind homeless man lives under this bridge for 6 years now, and when Mama Bear showed up, he invited her to join his little family with his dog Papa Bear. He even allowed her to give birth inside his tent so the puppies won't lay in the dirt. We gave Buzz some money so he can continue taking care of Papa Bear, and also to fix his bicycle. We also brought food, drinks, a couple of tents, and sleeping bags for him and his friends. We get to work quite often with the growing population of homeless people in our state, so if you have a sleeping bag or a tent you are not using, please consider donating them locally or you can send them to us and we will be happy to deliver them. Our mailing address is: Hope For Paws 8950 W. Olympic Blvd No. 525 Los Angeles, CA 90211 We also have an Amazon Wishlist here - it's just terrible that they didn't even have a flashlight... it's not safe for them, and it wasn't safe for me to intrude like this after dark. If you would like to help, I am sure Buzz would really appreciate it: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/registry/... If you have any other suggestions as to what I should add to the list, please let me know... I will be more than happy to drive all the way back and deliver your donated items. Also, I would like to sit with Buzz and show him this video and the difference he made in their lives. Winter is coming, it gets extremely cold at night in the desert, and I just can't imagine how terrible it is to live life like this. It's so sad because I don't understand how would anyone be able to get out of homelessness. I am so happy I took my whole team with me - JoAnn Wiltz, Loreta Frankonyte, and Katie McKittrick because together we were able to accomplish this rescue safely. After an overnight stay at the hospital to make sure everybody is well and healthy, the whole family continued to their foster with our friends at L.A. Animal Rescue! They have so many cute animals for adoption, and you should definitely check them out: https://www.LAAnimalRescue.org We are getting closer to the 5 million subscribers mark and once we do, we will do a HUGE giveaway! Please share this video with your family and friends on social media and help us get to many new people who may have never seen our videos. One last thing! I have a gift that I would like to give you today! The link I will share in a second will enable you to write your own will - for free: https://www.FreeWill.com/HopeForPaws I know it's a little bit of a scary subject, but please try it... the whole process takes 20 minutes and you will see that it will give you peace of mind knowing you have a legal document that will ensure the future of your kids and your pets should something unexpected happens to you. Please feel free to share this free gift with anyone you want... this is free for everyone to use! Thank you so much! Eldad

It is so sad when homeless dogs have to live in terrible conditions and with a lack of food, have to carry a healthy pregnancy. I really hope to add 100 new recurring members today so we can grow our team. We are getting called for more and more emergencies, and having a set amount of funds I can count on monthly is so critical for our operation. If you can, please join us today... $5 a month is just 16 cents a day. It may not seem like much, but it adds up, and look at all the videos and all the miracles it created. Please click here to join our team: https://www.HopeForPaws.org When we received the text on the #HopeForPaws line about Pearl, Loreta and I headed out right away. We were told she lived under a huge container, so we took every piece of plastic fencing we had. The rescue was tricky and the area we had to contain was huge, so there was a pretty serious danger that she would run away. I don't want to share more of the story here... it's best just to watch it. Skipping forward, our friends at #LAAnimalRescue offered to foster this family, and they are now looking for their loving forever homes. To apply to adopt them, please visit: https://www.LAAR.org Thank you so much for sharing our videos with your family and friends. Eldad

Hopping over the fence and going down was dangerous... a moment of not paying attention, and hitting the ground would hurt... A LOT! I asked Loreta Frankonyte and JoAnn Wiltz to stay above because I wasn't willing to let them risk their lives. Please watch this video and if you WOULDN'T dare going down like this, I will ask that you donate $1 for the animals today here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org ❤️ We really want to do more for the animals, but we need to add more members/supporters to join our team. Thank you so much!!! Eldad

Capturing little dogs with the snappy snare is really hard! Releasing the loop a split second too early or a split second too late, and now you have a super stressed dog who will continue running and running. In this situation with Doodlebug, I was prepared for this option, and with help from JoAnn Wiltz and Katie McKittrick, we planned a perfect ambush that allowed us to succeed and save her life 🥰 Doodlebug was abandoned and survived on the streets for FOUR MONTHS until a Hope For Paws fan spotted her and contacted us for help. She is now available for adoption with someone special who will continue working with her and will teach her how to trust humans again. Our friends at Smooch Pooch Dog Rescue are fostering and handling her adoption, so if you are interested, please contact them directly: http://www.SmoochPoochRescue.com OK, now it's time for YOUR FREE LUCKY LEASH!!! Doodlebug was rescued because a Hope For Paws fan knew to call us, so as a thank you to our fans, we are going to send out 5,000 Lucky Leashes!!! We wouldn't know about these animals without you guys sharing these stories. To prove that you are a TOP FAN, you will have to answer a SIMPLE QUESTION that only TOP FANS would know - are you up for it? 😉 https://www.HopeForPaws.org/win_a_Luc... Go go go... we have only 5,000 leashes, so you'll have to be fast! Thank you so much for your support and donations! Eldad

This rescue is a TBT rescue - I filmed it back in 2014 and we finally had a moment to edit this story that I wanted to tell for a long time! Pax was abandoned near the border between California and Mexico and he was sick. The man living there told me that he did his best to feed him, but Pax needed a lot more than just food. After receiving medical care, Pax continued to his foster home with The Forgotten Dog Foundation and the founder Linzi Glass found him the most amazing home. They still have many more dogs who are looking for a home, so please check out their list of dogs for adoption: http://www.TheForgottenDog.org To all of our supporters - Thank you so much for donating to Hope For Paws and helping us save these animals. As you can see in the video, there was another dog there who didn't make it. Please join our team with a small donation - it doesn't matter if it's $10 or $5 or even less... we just would like to have as many people as possible participate in saving lives. To make a donation, please visit us here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org Thank you so much for watching this TBT (Throw Back Thursday) rescue video and thank you for sharing it :-) Eldad

So many of the dogs we rescue are injured and require major surgeries. As you can see, most of them don't have videos because people pick them off the road, and then they call #HopeForPaws for help. Our vet bills are GE and we would LOVE for you to join our team. For the cost of a cup of coffee a month, you can be a part of all these rescues: https://www.HopeForPaws.org - Please join us with a $5 recurring donation 🙏 JoAnn Wiltz responded to the text about Peach, and after she accomplished the rescue, I called her and asked her to pick Ness up as he needed urgent medical care. The amazing team at CARES with help from Dr. Antonio Pedraza fixed them both up so they could find them loving forever homes. JoAnn fostered Ness for 5 weeks until he healed, and then she found him an amazing home. Little Peach is still looking for her forever home and she is now fostered with our friends at #LAAnimalRescue: https://www.LAAnimalRescue.org Please share this rescue video with your family and friends. Thanks! Eldad

So many kittens begin their lives being born in challenging locations. A family of kittens was born in a warehouse, and for three days, kind employees kept finding more and more kittens. Katie McKittrick from #HopeForPaws headed over again and again until she had all the kittens (plus she got a bonus kitten). She loves music and decided to give them musical names. In honor of Jennifer Lopez, she named the first kitten Jennipurr Lopaws. In honor of Katy Perry, she named the second kitten Kitty Purry. In honor of Prince, she named the third kitten Purrince. (We also have a PRINCE on this amazing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNYhPAHVplM ) In honor of David Bowie, she named the fourth one David Meowie. In honor of Elvis Presley, she named the fifth one Elvis Purresley. In honor of Anthony Kiedis, she named the sixth one Anthony Kiedhiss. We couldn't do this work without your support. This video doesn't really show the whole process, but Elvis Purresley suffered from cranial nerve damage. Katie fostered him, she brought him with her to work every day, and it was cool to see him at the office every day getting better and better. Please join us in this effort to save lives with a small donation here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org If you would like to adopt any of these kittens, please visit our friends at: https://www.CatConnectionLA.org Thank you so much!

Waka was abandoned in an industrial area and found refuge in a training facility for firefighters. She kept hiding under cars and at night she slept on a burnt couch 😰 Rudy, a retired firefighter spotted her, and as a #HopeForPaws monthly supporter, he knew to text me for help. I rushed over immediately and accomplished this cool rescue with help from a cheeseburger.

Marley dug a hole in the ground near a house in the Hollywood Hills, hidden away from the hungry Coyotes. I was called to get him, and I was warned that he might bite. I used the snare just to be safe, and as you'll see, there was no need in that snare.

http://www.hopeforpaws.org - Rosie was dumped at the desert over a month ago with no food and no water. Temperatures were over 100 degrees, and she was terrified and wouldn't let anyone get near her. I drove 3 hours north to give it a try. This video will tell the full sroty. Please join my friends on Facebook on this page called Life With Dogs. A place where you can meet many animal loving friends: http://www.facebook.com/eldad75?ref=t... Thank you so much! Eldad
