Her translation will blow you away because she looks like a wolf.
Home for Paws has saved a lot of dogs from the bad neighborhoods of Los Angeles. What makes this rescue different from all the others will BLOW you away.
Eldad Hagar and the rest of his dream team go to a South Central neighborhood. At first glance, they see a person who needs to be saved and given a new start. But as they get closer, they realize that she isn’t even a woman, at least not completely.
From Eldad’s own Flickr account and the rescue video below, we put together a slideshow of the best parts of this strange and amazing day, using Eldad’s own words and pictures. writes ilσvemydσgsσmuch.
“Usually we save dogs, but I’m pretty sure this time we saved a wolf-dog mix!”
“Julia had an old story tied to her, which tells me that someone owned her and ignored her to a criminal level… This little girl was so sick from infections that she was bleeding and pus was coming out of everywhere. It’s hard to see because of the cat, but all she is is skin and bones.”
Lisa gave Julia treats and worked slowly to get her to trust her.
“Even though Julia was so weak and hungry, she was so kind to feed.”
Eldad and Lisa thought it was time to try to get Julia to their car with the lucky red leash. Julia needed medical help right away, and every minute she had to wait was more time she had to suffer.
“Julia wasn’t sure about getting in a car, so we had to encourage her and tell her that things are about to get AMAZINGLY BETTER.”
Julia was checked for Demodectic Mange as soon as she got to the clinic. Positive was the answer. Eldad and his team knew it would be a long road for Julia, but it would be worth it.
“Julia’s teeth were so yellow and her nails so long… so much trouble, but everything was about to change.”
“When the water washed away the bandages, Julia started bleeding everywhere. This is an important step… a bath with medicine.”
After Julia took a bath, she put her head on Lisa for a while. She was glad it was all over. It was clear that Julia’s rescuers had finally won her trust with this action.
Julia was ready for a foster home after a week of medical care. She could finally live the life she had always wanted. Her real colors came out, and her tail learned to move. And, oh, those happy smiles… they just wouldn’t stop!
Julia finding her forever home is the best part of the story. She will never again have to worry about being hungry or being alone on the street. See the video below to see how amazing her rescue is. Thank you, Home for Paws, for everything you do to help dogs in need.
