When Hope for Paws got a phone call about a scared and abandoned Cocker Spaniel they knew they had to act fast. However, dog rescues are far from simple. You won’t believe the lengths these animals rescuers went for one little dog!
20. Hope for Paws
Hope for Paws is a nonprofit animal rescue group based in Los Angeles, California. The organization works hard to help improve the lives of homeless and injured animals.
19. Phone Call
On one particular day, Hope for Paws received a very serious phone call. Apparently, there was a dog out there that desperately needed their help.
18. The Situation
The situation was dire as there was an abandoned and homeless dog living under a house. There was no one around to take care of it and it was obvious that there was no owner coming to claim it.
17. Homeowner
The owner of the house said that the dog had been there for the past month. The dog was all alone and scared. That’s when the rescue team assembled themselves.
16. Rescue Team
So a rescue team from Hope for Paws immediately got themselves together to help rescue the abandoned pup. They began to drive over to the address that the homeowner had given them.
15. Fenced Away
When they got there, Lisa Arturo saw the scared Cocker Spaniel behind a fence. She began to walk over to the area and tried to coax the dog out using a cheeseburger. After all, what dog could resist that?!
14. Walking Away
It was obvious that the pup had trust issues with humans because he didn’t seem to want the cheeseburger immediately. Lisa began to walk around, hoping to corner the pup in the back of the driveway.
13. Driveway
Finally, they had the little pup cornered in the driveway. The pup still tried to walk away from the rescuers, but soon the smell of the cheeseburger was too overwhelming!
12. Running
All of a sudden, the little pup decided to dart from the driveway and run into the street. The rescuers, however, were prepared and were able to catch him before he ran off.
11. Making Friends
It was at this point when the rescuers decided to try and help the pooch feel more comfortable. Lisa bent down and began to feed the dog some bits and pieces of the cheeseburger.
10. Hungry
The pup happily gobbled up the cheeseburger pieces and sat down calmly. The rescuers were happy with his reaction. After all, it was obvious that he didn’t trust humans.
9. Petting Him
Lisa then began to pet the dog’s head in order to help him feel safe and at ease. It was then Lisa was able to place a leash around his neck…with the help of a cheeseburger piece, of course!
8. In The Car
With the leash around his neck, the rescuers were able to walk the dog over to the car. Once the pup was in the car they came up with the perfect name for him: Amos!
7. Driving Over
The rescue pair immediately took Amos to the hospital. It was there that Amos was given a check-up and a soothing bath. That wasn’t all though…
6. Delicious Meal
For the first time in a long time, Amos received a delicious warm meal. There was pure delight on his face as he indulged the yummy meal!
5. Neutered
After a few days had passed, Amos was neutered. He also underwent surgery to fix his cherry eye. Things were looking up for this sweet pup.
4. Foster Home
Once Amos was healed and doing better he was placed into an incredibly loving foster home. Amos has been doing well in his new and comfortable surroundings.
3. Adoption
Hope for Paws has been working relentlessly to help find Amos his new forever home. They have been alerting everyone to his existence and all of his amazing qualities.
2. Sweet Dog
Amos has undergone an amazing transformation since his rescue. He started off as a timid and scared dog and has now become loving and friendly!
1. Amazing Saviors
Thanks to the amazing team at Hope for Paws, Amos was given a wonderful second chance at life. He is now enjoying his life at a foster home until he is finally adopted into a loving new home.
