A homeless tripod pup had been homeless for at least five months and struggled to survive on the streets of Los Angeles. The residents in the area had no idea where Princess came from, nor how she lost her leg, but there was no doubt her life had been a struggle for a long time.Princess 3 legged dog 2

When one day, Los Angeles rescue organization Hope for Paws received a text asking if they could help the three-legged female dog that had been living in front of a home for the past few weeks and didn’t belong to anyone, rescuers immediately replied. As they arrived at the address, they found the shivering dog asleep on a cardboard shoe box as the rain lightly fell down upon her fragile body.Princess 3 legged dog 3

As Eldad Hagar, founder of Hope for Paws, slowly approached and carefully placed his signature “lucky” leash around her neck, Princess just stared – she didn’t bark, she didn’t growl nor did she try to escape. It’s as if she knew, these humans were really there to help. Instinct told her she was sick, and maybe this was the answer to her silent pleas for help. According to the homeowner, Princess had shown up one day; he had been feeding her, and she seemed to have adopted the shoe box as her bed.

And so Princess was cuddled in a blanket and rushed off to see the organization’s veterinarian where her rescue happened in the nick of time. From inadequate food and adverse conditions, Princess was extremely anemic, and had Hope for Paws not come around at the right time, it is doubtful the dog ever could have survived much longer. For months, Princess remained in treatment – but now she’s genuinely a princess just patiently waiting for a kingdom to call her own.Princess 3 legged dog 4

  1. Hope for Paws is a fabulous agency that will always come to the rescue – Eldad Hagar is relentless and I give this man a standing ovation for his dedication and sincere compassion for all animals. Princess deserves a safe loving home and Hope for Paws will be sure to find one for her.

  2. What the hell is happening in the USA. We are becoming a 3rd World Country right before my eyes. This is the kind of shit I use to see in Mexico. I did NOT grow up seeing animals left on the streets of Los Angeles for months. This is outrageous and unacceptable. Maybe LA needs Federal help! MAYOR GARCETTI—–WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY???? Like it or not, this is an immigrant problem!
