Rescuer gets bitten multiple times, but wouldn't let go!
For the 4th of July, I figured it would be appropriate to post the Hope For Paws rescue video of Washington. ❤️🤍💙
It is one of my favorite rescues with Loreta, she was so brave through it, didn't let go after she was injured, and said she would do it again! 😅👍
Earlier this morning I posted a new cat rescue video (in the post below this one). I hope you will enjoy it too! 😺💝
Please stay safe and keep your pets super safe tonight.

p.s. Loreta just posted our rescued dog on Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/xoxopaddington/reels/ 🐩
The owner of this dog didn’t want him back because he already got a new dog!! 🤬 Pirate’s full rescue video is now here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org - I am sorry for the delay with posting new videos… Justin is still recovering from his injury as a result of a motorcycle accident. 😓 We continue to work here, and soon we will flood you with many new ones 😊👍❤️
Two abandoned dogs - one was pregnant!
Most of you missed this Hope For Paws rescue video!!! 😲
This video is super cool because it has a hidden secret about our Loreta that most of you didn't know about! Hint: FRIENDS (TV Show) 💘
I also posted ANOTHER video with puppies earlier this morning with the DISNEY family: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/Disney 💖
We are still waiting for SHELBY to give birth... I just asked Katie if it's possible she ATE 4 puppies, and that's what she saw on the ultrasound. 😅
Katie said she can see them through her skin, moving around very actively. We'll see if they will come in 2023 or if they want to wait until 2024. (Another option is that two will be born in 2023, and two will be born in 2024) 💝
Please comment with name suggestions for the babies - we had to name so many animals this year, and I would love your help with some UNIQUE names!!! ♥️
Please stay safe and keep your pets safe tonight. 🙏
Thank you so much for supporting Hope For Paws!!! 🐶❤😺
Have an amazing 2024!!! 🥳🎉

Dog hit by a car on the freeway! Luckily, someone called Hope For Paws!
Hello everybody. I am posting this video today because today is the day that the ashes of Norman Weldon will be scattered. Norman loved animals; he supported Hope For Paws for a long time, and before he passed away, he asked me to find a loving forever home to his beloved cat Nini. She was adopted before he passed away, and I am glad we were able to give him that peace of mind.
Sadly, I am not around to join his sister and nephew today, but I wanted to honor him with the dog I named after him. 😎❤🐶❤️🐱
Rest in peace my friend,
Eldad
Merry Christmas from all of us here at Hope For Paws 🎁🎅❤️🤶🎄 Abby’s full rescue video is on our website - you know the address 😉
SIX-hour-long rescue of a whole family!
SIX-hour-long rescue, ONE painful bite for Loreta, ONE beautiful mom, and THREE cute little puppies!
Figaro was renamed BANANA, and I just saw a cute photo update of this little guy here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C0kjK7FPJC9/
Happy Hanukkah Banana, and to all our Hope For Paws supporters. Even if you're not Jewish, it's an excellent holiday to celebrate just because you will get to eat donuts with us for 8 days in a row. 😋👍
We have many more videos coming up - a Pit Bull, a few terriers, kittens, cats and even one super special (and my first ever) purebred Standard Poodle! 🥰
The nights are getting colder, and we would love to have your support: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/donate
Thank you so much❣️

Cave rescue in the desert!
Hello everybody! I hope you all had a nice holiday weekend and that you are ready to help Hope For Paws start #GivingTuesday super strong: https://www.hopeforpaws.org/campaigns/holiday
💪🐶👍 ❤ 💪😺👍
We have a $25,000 matching campaign, so every dollar you donate will be doubled! Most of you are pet owners, and you understand the cost of veterinary care; you can imagine how expensive it is to take a family like the family below to receive full medical treatment.
We just rescued a few special dogs with really cool stories, but since Justin, our video editor, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago, and since Rachael, our backup video editor is about to have a baby any day now, I will have to figure out where to find the time to edit these videos myself - I know you will love them. 🥰
Thank you so much for supporting Hope For Paws through this rough patch! I really hope that working together, we can reach the matching goal.
Have a great week!!! ❤

Abandoned dog surrounded by spiders and rescuers 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
This creepy crawly rescue of #spiderman was filmed during the COVID lockdown. During these days, Loreta and I were super busy with nonstop rescues and I hope you will enjoy this one that seemed appropriate for this holiday. 🐶❤🕷🕸
Tomorrow, I will post a NEW #Halloween rescue video on the Hope For Paws website: https://www.HopeForPaws.org ☠️ <<<--- This is a hint for the dog's name. 😊
Today will be stressful for some dogs who may not appreciate the doorbell ringing every 5 minutes. Please keep them safe so they don't bark all night or bolt out the door.
#happyhalloween!!! 👻🎃🤡

Dog rescue in a ghost town!
This is my favorite Halloween video. Loreta and I spent hours trying to save him! It was a very difficult setup because he had so many places to run and hide, but we didn't give up!
At one moment I believed I had him somewhat cornered, so I had to send Loreta to quickly go and get one of the most important rescue items in the Hope For Paws rescue vehicle, and it's the soccer net that helps us enclose large areas.
Today I'm working on a new #Halloween rescue video and I'll post it here soon: https://www.HopeForPaws.org

Halloween Black Cat Rescue
Halloween is almost here, so I wanted to share the video of Grimm who is the sweetest cat. 😻🎃👍
So many black cats are overlooked in shelters and adoption centers for no reason. If you're looking to adopt a new cat, please consider one that most people will pass on.
If you prefer dog rescue videos, here is the video of Ghost (and Casper): https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/Ghost_and_Casper 👻
Loreta posted a few never seen before picture on her page - some of them are bloody and definitely NOT for everyone to see, but if you're curious about the medical stuff and about what's possible to fix, here is the link for you:

Many of you missed the rescue video of Freya that I accomplished with Loreta. Here is a link to the full video: https://www.HopeForPaws.org ❤️👍
Hello everybody! Busy day here, but I wanted to quickly share this rescue video. So many kittens end up in sewers, storm drains, water wells, and there is a way to prevent many of these situations - some of them need to be handled by the cities we live in, and some by property owners who need to make sure that all the pipes on their property are covered. (I'm sure you all remember Jessie's story).
A few weeks ago, after a long work day, I received an urgent text on the Hope For Paws line about a kitten who fell into a water well. Loreta and I rushed all the way to Northern California to save a kitten who cried for hours! It took us 5.5 hours to get to the rescue location, and we were told that the crying stopped 30 minutes prior to our arrival.
We quickly lowered a sewer camera into the water well, hoping he was just resting. Sadly, we found two dead kittens who drowned - one of them was dead for a few days 😿😿
We were unsuccessful in recovering their bodies (this pipe system was twisted and rusty), so we told the homeowners they would need to call a professional plumber to assist with that.
Heartbroken, we drove back to Los Angeles, and 22 hours after we woke up, we finally got to sleep.
Kittens are nervous little creatures, and sometimes they get scared, jump into a hiding spot where they can't crawl or jump out of. Please check your property and see how you can prevent a disaster from happening.
The full video for Taco is on the main Hope For Paws page: https://www.HopeForPaws.org
Thank you for taking the time to read this! 🙏

p.s. also, temperatures are so high these days - please leave water out for anyone who may need it, cats, birds, and all other creatures. Thanks! ❤️
Thank you so much for my birthday wishes and the donations for Hope For Paws’ 15th anniversary ❤️ If you missed Hulk’s video, I posted the full version on our website: https://www.HopeForPaws.org - it’s another busy day here, so again, I have to post and run - I just wanted you to know that I really appreciate your support! Have a great day 😊👍 Eldad
If you missed this video, it is now featured on the main Hope For Paws website: www.HopeForPaws.org 😊 Yesterday Loreta and I posted a new kitten rescue video on the main Hope For Paws page and tomorrow we will post a new rescue video of a dog who lived in the desert for 7 months ❤️
Homeless dog with broken ribs finally gets rescued!
Hello everybody! We are working on 4 new rescue videos, but before I post those, I need your help with finding Polly a loving forever home by sharing her video 🥰
In order for Hope For Paws to rescue more animals, we need to find homes for the animals we already rescued. Loreta and I accomplished this rescue of this homeless dog with broken ribs a while ago, and today YOU can change her life again!
Polly is fostered by our friends at Smooch Pooch Dog Rescue, so if you would like to adopt this cutie, please contact them directly.
I am hoping for great news by the end of the week, so please share, share, share - I'm sure you know at least one person in Califonia❤️
Thanks!

I am so sad to report that Gershwin passed away a couple of days ago and to honor him, I featured his rescue video on our website: https://www.HopeForPaws.org 💔
Larger dogs don't get to live many years, but I'm glad most of his years were amazing with his loving family.
Thank you L A Animal Rescue for working with Hope For Paws on this project and for finding him a fantastic home, and of course, super special thanks to super brave Loreta for tackling a 110-pound dog on your own!
We will never forget you Gershwin 🐶🌈💙
Yesterday I spent the whole day in the desert and accomplished another amazing rescue unlike anything you have ever seen!!! The drive to and from the location took 6 hours, the rescue took another 6 hours, and grooming took 4 hours 🥵
Thank you so much for supporting our efforts and helping us save lives from desperate situations ❤️❤️❤️
