A small stray dog was abandoned on the streets of Los Angeles and living day by day when Hope For Paws received a call to help her.

“When we received the call about Ocean, it was already after midnight,” explains Eldad Hagar. “I asked Loreta Frankonyte to join me even though we already had a long day of rescuing, and we did the long drive and met with neighbors who told us she had been abandoned a couple of weeks ago.”

“Loreta tried to get her, but Ocean was too nervous… she would come close, but not close enough. I didn’t want to risk it, so I decided to surprise her with a cool trick.”

“Ocean was covered with fleas, ticks and her coat was completely matted (which helped me with my trick because it limited her ability to see).”

But once Ocean was safely in their care, she was rushed to the hospital and Doggies 911 found her a wonderful, loving home.
