The 7-Day Struggle

Christine noticed a tiny dog, standing all alone in the middle of a busy street in Los Angeles. Homeless and scared, the dog evaded anyone who tried to approach. Despite Christine’s attempts, the dog, later named Hope, was too frightened to be caught. Christine decided to leave food for her in a nearby alley.

Hope made a makeshift bed out of trash, sometimes seeking shelter on doorsteps but always fleeing when people got too close. Christine’s patience was unwavering; she continued feeding Hope, hoping to gain her trust. One day, Hope licked food from Christine’s hand, but a sudden car scared her away.

By day six, Christine realized she needed help. The challenge of rescuing Hope was too great for one person. She reached out to Deity Animal Rescue and CatchingPaws, who agreed to assist. Together, they formed a plan to finally bring Hope to safety.

With help on the way, Christine felt a renewed sense of hope. The determination to save this little dog was stronger than ever. Hope’s days of living in fear were numbered; a brighter future awaited her.

She’s Finally Safe

Christine and the rescue team devised a plan to lure Hope into a small alley using food. Eventually, they succeeded in capturing her with a net. Initially, Hope was anxious and scared, but as soon as she entered Christine’s home, she began to calm down. A warm bath and a loving meal marked the start of her new life.

Over the next few days, Hope underwent an incredible transformation. She started trusting Christine, even allowing her to give belly rubs. The once fearful dog began to melt into her new momma’s hands, realizing she was finally safe and loved.

Hope’s true personality began to shine through. She became a playful and positive companion for Christine. Despite her limited interactions with other dogs, Hope adapted well to her new environment and even enjoyed being part of a dog pack.

With Christine’s support, Hope was eventually adopted by a wonderful family. Her new mom, Clemé, fell in love with Hope instantly. The bond between them was immediate and strong, with Hope reciprocating Clemé’s affection right away.

    Why didn’t they try to use a humane trap earlier in the rescue? Seems like it could’ve saved some time.

  • Wow, Christine is truly a hero! How long did it take for Hope to fully trust her?
