How a Rescue Helped Transform a Golden Retriever From Frightened Dog to Happy Pup

Share
Two heartwarming pictures of a dog laying peacefully under a bed, capturing the transformative work of Hope for Paws.

Upon receiving a call, Hope for Paws, a rescue organization in Los Angeles, decided to try and find a scared dog that was living on the streets.

After four unsuccessful attempts to try and rescue the stray golden retriever, Hope for Paws finally spotted the dog — but not for long. When a loud train went by, the scared dog looked for coverage and found it under a raised storage unit that provided crawl space. Not giving up on her, the two-person crew decided to go in after her. She became so frightened during the rescue that she covered her eyes like a scared child would. Everything changed once the rescuer touched her. Slowly but surely, he was able to gain her trust and helped her get out of the tight space.
