Hope For Paws was contacted by L.A. on Cloud 9, an organization that helps homeless people. The homeless man in the tent (he didn’t want to be filmed) fed the dog, asked them for help, and they knew to call us. (They are the same organization that called us about Jordan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy97RgzxhJg – I’m sure 90% of you remember his horrifying story).
Loreta Frankonyte and I headed out to the bridge over the 110 freeway – one of the busiest and noisiest freeways in Los Angeles. We feared he would bolt, so we surrounded him with our plastic fencing and got him into the Hope For Paws rescue vehicle.
Before telling you the rest of the story, I wanted to ask you to join our matching campaign where every dollar you donate will be DOUBLED: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/campaigns/holiday – by becoming a Hope For Paws team member, you’ll be a part of each one of these rescues.
One weird/funny thing that happened during the rescue (it was removed in the editing) is that a man approached us and asked to buy drugs from us. I don’t know what about our look gave him the feeling that we’re the people to ask. 😄 (Was it the color of Loreta’s shirt? Is that even a thing?) 😅
When I have a free minute, I’ll chop it and share it on our Instagram account:

(Join us now – maybe you’ll be follower number 400,000, we’re almost there!!!).
Anyway, little Shrimp was shell-shocked from his experience. He didn’t like being touched, and he wouldn’t let us shave parts of his matted coat, so the doctor at CARES had to mildly sedate him.
Our friends at S.A.F.E. Rescue Team offered to foster him. It’s important for me to acknowledge the incredible work of his fosters – it took a couple of months for him to transform from a shell-shocked sad dog, to a happy, playful doggie: https://SafeRescueTeam.org
Happy New Year to all of you animal lovers!
MAKE SURE to be back on December 31st for the last video of 2023 💖

Thanks to the homeless guy feeding Shrimp!
I hope he will have a better life as well some day.
He looks like Yoda in the tub
Those that have nothing are usually the biggest givers. They know what hunger and being homeless means. The person that fed this dog is a TRUE HERO!!
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤
I really want to volunteer at some animal rescue org but the sights of all the abused and neglected animals would kill me
Heart breaking. Thank you for helping him. Keep doing what you doing. I wish I could afford to donate $$
So glad to donate monthly. The first hope for paws video I watched was about Fiona. It made me cry
such a preety dog what a wonderful transformation
OMG! How could animal or human live with all that noise? I am trying to watch the video but it is so loud. Poor baby,
Leave the human, take the dog.
C'était certainement le chien d'un sans-abri. C'est tellement précieux pour ces personnes , leur compagnon. Si il y avait un sans- abri, j'espère que des gens l'ont aidé.
He is so adorable and I just love his fur coat!!
Looks like a skinnyvYoda
Thank you to the human that fed Shrimp. THANK you guys for saving him and showing him what care and love looks like. And all the much needed medical attention. Someone in SoCal please adopt this sweet dog!! He's so stinking cute!!!! Kudos to the absolutely amazing foster family!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great rescue. I’m glad Loreta finally pulled her hair back😮😂
I donated, but I would like to know if you left a note for the homeless guy so he didn't get upset over losing "his" dog.
Thank u for saving the doggie. pls also help the homeless man.
How old is he? i d take him in a heartbeat!
those ears!! sooo adorable ❤
Adorable dog. Thank you!
Wow. Here’s a homeless person who probably has some trouble getting food for himself yet finds a way to also feed this poor soul. God bless him.
God bless the homeless man who took care of this dog when no one else would. I hope some rich animal lover out there finds this man and helps him.
Das hätte doch nicht sein müssen mit dieser Schlinge um den Hals bei diesen kleinen Hund
Thank you very much, Eldad! 🙏😘He's beautiful!
😢❤❤❤
The man who fed and looked after him is an angel.
thank you
4:56 He looks totally like Yoda . "May the Force be with you"
So heartwarming, that someone was feeding him, & had a bed for him. I feel bad, but I cracked-up at the 4:15 mark…He looked like he was really enjoying that spa treatment.

Thank you all, for your tireless work. You are angels of the earth. 🦋 Be blessed!!!
It's amazing how, despite all that they go through, animals are so forgiving and full of love & joy❤
