Hope For Paws received a call regarding a terrified, injured dog that was in dire need of help.
A Good Samaritan, named Mike Badger, had been feeding the homeless dog every day. When he discovered Hope For Paws, he knew they were the right people to call.
Badger led Hope For Paws volunteers to the dog’s usual hiding spot, but he was missing. They then spotted him sleeping against a wall in the industrial area, which opened up to a parking lot and busy street.
They did not want the dog to dodge into traffic, so they knew they had to be careful yet act quickly. They chased him through the parking lot and managed to grab ahold of him with a snare.
The petrified puppy yelped out and tried to escape the snare, but he had no idea that these people were here to help. Eventually he calmed down and accepted some food from the rescuers.
They named him Masik and brought him to the vet. His body was covered in filthy, matted hair and fleas. X-rays also revealed that he had a crushed pelvis. Dr. Antonio Pedraza performed surgery to repair it, which was thankfully successful.
Masik is now healing while living at a foster home with L.A. Animal Rescue. He is already doing so much better, but now all he needs is a forever home.
