Hope for Paws rescues animals who are suffering, facing death or extreme danger
that nobody else are able to save. We are made aware of these animals in dire need by concerned citizens or
by other rescues who ask us to save the animal and in return, they foster
and find the permanent loving home for the pet once it is healed.

Hello everybody! It feels like kitten season doesn't end here, so today I have a new rescue video for you on the Hope For Paws website: https://www.HopeForPaws.org

The family is fostered by our friends at the Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats, and if you would like to adopt them, please contact them directly.

We have a huge backlog of videos to edit and I will do my best to finish the next one today or tomorrow.

Right now, I have to run back to the hospital for the treatment of a seriously injured cat I just rescued.

Thank you so much for helping us save so many lives!

WE DID IT!!!!! A puppy fell 60 FEET down a water well, and three days after everybody lost HOPE (including the Fire Department), a Hope For Paws supporter called us for help - please see the story here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/Wellington

I know you will LOVE the story of WELLINGTON from the WELL ❤

Thank you so much to all the Hope For Paws supporters who make it possible for me to accomplish these missions - this was really EPIC, and I am so grateful for your support!

Let's save more lives together! 💝

Hello everybody! It's a busy surgical day here, and I'm just about to scrub in so I can share another super special video with you. Meanwhile, I just posted this challenging rescue: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/Dance_Kittens

It was interesting to see these deformities these kittens were born with, and with your assistance, we will get them to surgery soon.

Thank you Kitten Rescue for working with Hope For Paws on this project, for fostering them, and for handling their adoption.

Tomorrow I will have a super special post for you 🐶👍

Yesterday's post on the Hope For Paws page was pretty rough, so today, I want to share something lighter - a new rescue that started with lots of teeth and ended with lots of love: https://www.hopeforpaws.org/blog/Tofu ❤❤❤

Our friends at I Stand With My Pack are currently fostering her, so if you would like to adopt her, please contact them directly. 😊

Thank you so much for your support!!! 💝

Today's rescue story is NOT for everyone!!! Please DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT click on this link if you are not prepared to watch a terrible injury: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/Champ 🏆💙🥇 (Definitely do not click if you're not at least 18 years old!).

This is the most terrible injury I have ever seen on a rescue in 16 years of running Hope For Paws! It looked like something from a battlefield. This may trigger people who suffered terrible injuries or even their family members, so please think before you click over.

Some people may be upset with me for posting something like this, but this is our reality here, and I wanted to show you why your support is so critical.

You can skip this post if you don't want to see it, but if you're not a supporter yet, I will just ask that you join us today with a small donation to help us cover his medical care: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/donate

Our friends at Maison Sûre will handle his fostering and adoption, so if you would like to be a part of Champ's journey, please reach out to them directly.

Thank you so much!

Today's new rescue video is featured with a few other rescues where we captured exhausted homeless animals in their sleep: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/surprise_rescues

Over the weekend, I received a call about another exhausted dog with a huge tumor. She was so severely matted that it took me more than 3 hours to clean her up: https://www.instagram.com/hopeforpawsrescue/reels/ (I will post a video update of her in a few minutes, and then I'll join the surgeon who gave her the clearance to go to surgery today!) ❤

Most people don't understand how expensive our vet bills are, so today, I want to give you a general idea. Every surgery, including X-rays, blood work, hospitalization, and medication, costs an average of $5,000!

Today, Hope For Paws has EIGHT major surgeries (broken legs, TPLO, tumor removals, broken pelvis, and more). Simple math shows that today's surgeries alone will cost over $40,000 (and that doesn't include some serious dentals for a few dogs who have been neglected all their lives), and hospitalization for other animals we're taking care of. For all of you who donate to Hope For Paws - THANK YOU!

If you haven't done so, and if you can, please join our team today with a small donation. Our ability to do all this work completely depends on you, and it is possible only when A LOT of people participate. ❤

Please watch Patriot's rescue video (Just don't fall in love with him because his foster parents just had a case of foster failure). 😅

Thank you Maison Sûre for fostering and landing him into the perfect loving forever home. 💝

Thank you all so much for your support!

Dog with NO EYES abandoned on the side of the road!!! This is the text I received on the Hope For Paws line, and a few minutes ago, I posted her rescue video that you have been waiting for: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/Dahlia 🐶👍

Zooming in on the picture, it really looked like she was missing both eyes, but the story takes an unexpected turn. 👀

I made a post about her a couple of weeks ago (I always worry that some would think "I have seen this before", but the transformation has been completed, this video is brand new, and I would love for everybody to watch it so we can work together to find her a loving forever home.

This is the first rescue video by Hope For Paws and Maison Sûre (Safe House in French), so please welcome them with a click on their first video with us. ❤

Thank you so much for your support.

Have a great and safe weekend!

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.

I just posted a new rescue video here: https://www.hopeforpaws.org/blog/Smoochy_Squishmallow
On that page, there is also a video that I would love for everybody to play for their pets this evening, as fireworks will scare so many animals tonight.

Yesterday, I rescued a special dog I named PATRIOT - he is a very sad dog, so I will have to wait with editing his rescue video until we can turn him into a happier dog.

Have a HAPPY and SAFE 4th of July! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Thank you so much for supporting Hope For Paws and thank you Let Them Be Little Feline Rescue for fostering Smoochy and Squishmallow.

Driving around the city these days sounds like a battlefield with fireworks on every corner at all hours of the day. 😰🙀
So many animals get scared of these explosions and flashes of light, so we decided to put together a relaxing video for your dogs and cats: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/pettv

Please keep your pets extra safe these days. So many animals will get lost or hurt during this holiday and you really don't want this to happen to you and your pet.

If you're already at work, please click on the video and play it in the background in a separate tab as it will help us reach more people and it will help Hope For Paws grow.

Thank you so much! Stay safe and cool this weekend! Please leave water out for wild animals and stray cats - they would really appreciate it.

Poor Kevin suffered a terrible infection that invited many maggots into his wound. The full rescue video is here: https://www.HopeForPaws.org - DON'T WORRY - you won't see the maggots, but what you will see is a beautiful transformation of a cat who was clearly suffering into a cat who is so happy, healthy, and looking for his loving forever home. ❤️‍🩹➡️❤️

Thank you Sante D'Or for working with Hope For Paws and for fostering him. If you would like to adopt Kevin, please contact them directly. 😊

This week was busy with so many surgeries! I don't know if you would want to see some of the surgical stuff... some of it is crazy. Yesterday we took off a tumor the size of my head that was growing on a dog's neck. 😳 The surgery went really well 🥰🥰

Let me know.

Have a great day!

This is so upsetting... I don't understand how someone can just abandon a blind dog on the street to fend for himself and just drive away!!! 😡🤬

Luckily, someone knew to text Hope For Paws for help, and I got there as quickly as possible: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/Gandalf

Busy day here, a dog with a huge tumor just arrived at CARES - I'm going to check up on her.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us save them!

Happy Friday Hope For Paws supporters! A couple of days ago, I was called for a long-distance rescue for a dog I was told had NO EYES and was left on the side of the highway! 😓

It was a tricky rescue because I was alone against a dog who couldn't see me, couldn't hear me very well, and was quite nervous about my presence there. Oh, and she also had a heavy metal chain around her neck.

Our friends at Maison Sûre Rescue offered to foster her, and after she is medically cleared, she will start looking for her loving forever home. Meanwhile, she is loves taking naps on our super soft blankets: https://www.cares.pet/store (we still have a few in stock for sale) 🥰

Dahlia's rescue video should be ready soon, so stay tuned. ❤

Meanwhile, Dr. Pedraza (Smart Approach Veterinary Services) performed many surgeries at CARES yesterday. He fixed broken legs, broken pelvises, ear hematomas and more... I will post some updates on our IG page as soon as I can find a free moment: https://www.instagram.com/hopeforpawsrescue/

Thank you all so much for joining us last week on our 16th year anniversary of Hope For Paws! So many animals are getting these life-saving surgeries thanks to you!

Have a safe weekend!!! It is going to be another hot one!!!🥵

It's my birthday today, so I have a special little video for you. 🥰
https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/Turtllini
I have been around for a while now (49 years), and I just don't understand her behavior. I can't even imagine carrying an injury like this, let alone moving around with no pain medication the way Turtllini did. 🐢

I'm so grateful to Ricardo for building this special little house for her while seeking help - it's these little acts of kindness that I always love seeing.

I have to run for a rescue now (long drive ahead of me), so please watch the video until the end, and enjoy the pure joy!!! ❤😊😍

Thank you so much for celebrating Hope For Paws' 16th anniversary with us yesterday with your donations and wishes - I didn't have time to respond because I have been working 16-hour days with the animals, but please know that I really appreciate it, and I love you all.

The link above also has yesterday's rescue video - it's another example for the importance of our presence on the ground thanks to your support. 😉👍

Have a great day!

These little kittens didn't have the energy to fight, and their mom turned out to be super sweet and she found a home before her babies did thanks to our friend at the Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats!🐈‍⬛

We sold the whole previous batch of Hope For Paws blankets, so we ordered more for you, and this time, we also ordered towels!!! If you will order now, I will add a Lucky Leash for FREE - don't forget to select the right size for your dog!!! 🐶🌺😺

I am happy to report that Mallory and her puppies were all adopted, but our friends at Hollywood Huskies have many other beautiful huskies for adoption, so please check them out.

Thank you so much for helping us save them! Have an amazing and safe weekend. ❤

Hello everybody. Today I wanted to share the story of Florence - a Doberman with a genetic disorder that was dumped like yesterday's trash - Please watch her video on the Hope For Paws website: https://www.HopeForPaws.org

Florence is now fostered by our friends at L A Animal Rescue and she is waiting for her forever home, so please reach out to them directly about adopting her. 🥰

I am 95% back to normal after that accident on the freeway... the nerve pain is finally gone, and I just got the Hope For Paws rescue vehicle back from repair. 😎👍

I know I owe a few people who asked about making a plan for their pets a phone call, and I'm working through that list. This accident was a reminder of how fragile life can be.

If you don't have a written plan for your pets, please click here so we can help you with that: https://www.hopeforpaws.org/about/blog_article/who-will-take-care-of-your-pets-when-you-cannot

26/01/2024

Hello everybody! I am so happy to report that Shelby has given birth in a safe environment and not under an abandoned RV near downtown Los Angeles.

This Hope For Paws rescue video will be ready soon. The whole family is now fostered by our friends at Foxy and the Hounds, and I want to wait just a couple more weeks so I can film the puppies playful and extra cute for you. 🥰

Meanwhile, a couple of days ago, as Loreta and I headed to meet Dr. Pedraza, a car slammed into the Hope For Paws rescue vehicle on the 405 freeway. 😓

I saw it coming from my rear mirror, asked Loreta to brace for impact, and then BOOM!!! 💥 The car that hit us was totaled (he had no insurance), but luckily, no one got hurt (except for back and neck pain for all of us). Overall, I feel very lucky - this could have ended much worse!

Please drive safely, keep a safe distance, don't text, and please, please, please, make a plan for your pets should anything unexpected happen to you - this should be a top New Year's resolution: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/National-Make-A-Will-Month

Life is so fragile, and this accident was a reminder of that. This link will enable you to write your own legally valid Will/Living-Trust for FREE! Please share it with family and friends - it is free for everybody!

Thank you so much!

Hello everybody! I posted this video a couple of days ago, but I am sure many people didn't see it because of the New Year, so here is the link for you: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/Disney 🥰

I'm happy to report that all the puppies have families who are waiting to take them home, and now I just need YOUR help with finding a loving forever home for Disney. This mama worked so hard to ensure her puppies were safe; she fed and protected them, and now it's her turn to enjoy life. ❤

Please share this Hope For Paws rescue story and please contact our friends at PAL Rescue who are still fostering this whole beautiful family about adopting Disney: http://www.palrescue.org/contact-us.html

Disney will be spayed next week, and after that, she will need someone special who will help her fully recover, and start her new life. She is so nice and just needs someone who will hug her. 🤗

Happy New Year and thank you again so much for supporting our rescue efforts! I will post another update you've been waiting for tomorrow morning.

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!!! 🥳🎉

I had to edit this video myself, so I am a bit rusty, but I hope you will enjoy it - I call it The Four Seasons of Rescue. 🥰

Thank you so much for supporting Hope For Paws!!! ❤

Please keep your pets safe tonight - these fireworks scare the animals and I would LOVE to NOT have any emergency calls.

Happy New Year!!! 🎉🎉🎉

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

Hello everybody! Two updates today! 🥰🥰
1. Shrimp's rescue video is READY on the Hope For Paws website: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/campaigns/holiday
The weird/funny thing about this rescue is that in the middle of it, as Loreta crawled on the floor towards little Shrimp, a man approached us and asked us about buying drugs. (I had to cut it out in the editing so I wouldn't get in trouble somehow). We were so confused and amused as to what in that situation made him think that we were the right people to ask. 😅

I'm grateful to L.A. on Cloud9 for calling us about Shrimp. They assist homeless people here in Los Angeles, and you all probably remember them as they were the ones who called me about little Jordan the Wonder Dog from the L.A. River.

After the rescue was completed, our friends at SAFE Rescue Team offered to foster Shrimp. The work of his foster parents was amazing! It took a few months for him to come out of his shell, and it is just so beautiful to see a shell-shocked dog transform into a happy dog. To apply to adopt him or to see all their other dogs for adoption, please contact them directly. ❤

2. If you followed yesterday's post, then I wanted you to know that the puppies have not been born yet, but I'm sure it will happen today. Shelby's temperature is down to 99.7°F (37.6°C), and that's the best indicator for us. (Usually, the temperature during labor is between 98°F and 99°F versus the normal temperature of a dog, which is 101.0 to 102.5°F (38.3 to 39.2°C).

Thank you so much for supporting our efforts!!! I will update you as soon as the puppies are born 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Happy New Year!!! 🎉
