This is the harrowing rescue of Dorothy, a scared senior dog who found a hiding place deep in the bushes and shrubs just off a busy highway. Hope for Paws received the call about Dorothy from Carlos, a concerned Good Samaritan who feared she'd be hit by a car and killed. And though this rescue begins on a busy road, it ends on a beautiful beach…
Just as the heroes manage to place a lead around Dorothy's neck as she sleeps, the attempt to pull her out of the bushes proves too much for Dorothy to bear. She bites one of the women rescuing her, but that doesn't stop them from continuing in their efforts. Dorothy is in such a state of shock and panic that she ends up completely freezing on the ground, unable to move. It's truly heartbreaking to witness.
After Dorothy was treated at the hospital and went through a couple weeks of training, she continued to her foster home with Frosted Faces Foundation and they will handle her adoption. This amazing organization helps find forever homes to senior dogs. Make sure to watch the video until the end so you can see Dorothy's incredible transformation — from a dog once crippled with fear to an open-hearted angel.
Finding homes for senior dogs is harder than it is for younger dogs, so please help us reach as many people as possible. Please SHARE this video with your friends and family on Facebook.
