Finding a lost dog is challenging but finding it in the dark in a rough Los Angeles neighborhood presents an even bigger challenge. But when a group of animal rescuers heard that an injured dog was living on the streets, they knew they had to find her.
Hope for Paws, a non-profit animal rescue organization got a call that there was a pregnant dog hiding in bushes during the day. At night, she would sometimes seek out food and it was not safe for her to do so in her condition. Hope For Paws’ Eldad Hagar and Lisa Chiarelli, drove out to the location and searched for about 10 minutes before finding the little pooch and named her Iris. She was very scared and injured, but they were one step closer to rescuing her.
They initially were afraid Iris would run off but she stayed still while the rescuers gently slipped on a leach so they could pull her out safely. They didn’t expect to find a small litter of puppies that Iris guarded and this explained why she would scavenge for food during the night.
