Saving a homeless Chihuahua who was NOT ready yet for human contact.  

Every year at Christmas, the money I receive from family members is split up. 40% goes into savings, 20% goes to a charity of some kind and the rest is spending money. This year, after watching some hope for paws videos, I decided to donate to them.

You can tell by her eyes that she is terrified.

Just look at those eyes, I can tell she's been through a lot. Ty for rescuing her.

Eyes that can melt heart made of stone.

I'm a huge fan of you guys and actually used your methods to pick up a lost dog lost weekend. Was driving home after work at 330am and spotted a dog walking along the highway. It being in the negatives here in Canada I had to see what I could do. I found a place to pull over and used my leftover dinner to get the pup's attention. Took a whole hour just sitting with him to earn his trust and get my key lanyard on him like you guys do with the lucky leash! Long story short, through some Facebook groups I posted his description and managed to get in touch with his owners and get him home safe and sound. You guys are awesome! I wanted to let you know your work is getting paid forward :)

The fact that she was so terrified makes me question who owned her,and how they may have treated her to get to that state of fear of humans. It's devastating seeing an animal that afraid. We need to treat all living beings better. I am so glad she is happy and healthy now. I just fear for the other poor souls that may not be as lucky as she was to get found,and by the right people.

I swear that the Lord put dogs on this earth to teach us about forgiveness and love..

Her eyes said it all so much fear. I’m so glad she’s safe now and happiness and love will heal her ❤️

Poor thing she was so scared she had such beautiful eyes 😢😙

i seriously couldnt do this type of work. my house would be full of dogs because i couldnt bear to leave them once id made a connection.

It was heartbreaking to see how scared she was. Thank you for rescuing this sweet soul and showing her she can trust again.

the happiness these animals have in their eyes after being rescued is the best part! may God bless this great people who are doing such a lovely thing !

It breaks my heart to see a poor dog fear humans so much they lash out like that!!! I don’t want to imagine the horrors she’s seen!!! Thank you sweet angels of mercy for saving this sweet little girl!! I’m sure she will find a home!!! You are doing sacred holy work. Please continue helping our animal friends.

Awww, her "don't hurt me" eyes changed into "I'm so happy" eyes! This is the reason I send you money every month. Thanks, Hope for Paws!

I don't know what that poor dog went through in life before Hope For Paws was called. But once Hope For Paws got there, her life took a permanent turn for the best! It's so wonderful to see her at the end of the video, enjoying the love and friendship of humans and fellow canines! God Bless Hope For Paws! God Bless ChiChi, and may she have quickly found her loving forever home!

Her eyes at the beginning broke my heart !! A million thanks for saving her.

Aww. Im crying she looks so sad 😔 WHYYY I wish all animals had homes.

Who else is dog lover?😍😍😘😘

Broke my heart to see her eyes so scared

1:08 the sadness and fear in her eyes made me so sad poor baby. she's happy now❤️❤️

I can see a lot of pain in her face😖

The poor thing looked so frightened and scared... No animal should ever go through neglect and be abandoned. Keep up the good work! You guys are such wonderful people ❤️❤️

That puts a tear in your eye how frightened that baby was. She had that look in her eyes while looking at Loretta like saying, "Ok, now I'm safe." You have a certain gift, Loretta, where dogs feel a safety from you. Of course you ALL have that, it's just that I notice how they look into eyes. It's very touching. You have a forever supporter here. I just love you guys. 🙏❤️🤗

How could people dislike this video? It's helping animals to live and to help EACHOTHER!

her eyes tell a story :( ... thankfully its a happy ending one :)

I wish I could donate but I am only 11 but I will show my love and support

this one is probably one of the most touching rescues I've seen so far in your videos. She was so terrified, but with time, patience, and care, she was able to be a happy little dog.

She is such a sweet girl. Who would abandon this poor little precious soul??!

Those eyes are adorable

*Only wants food and hates human contact.* Literally me Love this video though!!!

Thank you for finding this poor dog and now it will be OK now as before the dog was used to humans and seeing the dog it so happy running around god bless you all. 🐶🐕🐕‍🦺🙏👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰🤗

sweet dog

She's pretty

Those eyes those eyes those eyes. 💗💗💗

its hard enuf for big dogs out there trying to make it on the streets..but for small dogs..its really terrifying.. they run into so many more problems.. esp getting beat up by bigger dogs.. bravo for saving this cutie

Those eyes say it all. People think that these animals don’t have feelings. They do. I wish no animals suffer.

I have to cry every video of you Poor dogs Save them all

Her eyes is so cute

She was so scared... Thank you for saving her.

Its always heart warming how much respect and love you give to those intimidated and in-secured doggies . You could see in their eyes the fright and uneasiness. Shortly after the rescue they feel secured , loved and self confident . Your work is highly appreciated . Thank you Angels🙏🏻❤️

I hope all animals get well soon

Bless you!! Bless your souls!!!

Thanks for all you do. Y’all are changing the world.

May God bless the rescuers! What you guys do is pure healing! Oh my God! Every touch, every gesture makes the animals forget about the bad past experiences! 🙏🙏🙏

Omg, she looks like Dobby!

I donated 31 dollars

God bless you people for the wonderful things you do for animals. This really touched my heart. She's a totally different dog from when y'all first laid eyes on her. Thank you so much! Kisses to ChiChi!

Did you see that? That's how wonderful efforts of Sir Eldad and Loreta after rescuing dogs they gave hope to the dogs. That's why it's called Hope For Paws. God is really good 🙏❤️🇵🇭

poor Loreta's fingers lately, owch! stay safe please!

I adopted a female puppy who lost her siblings 😢 crushed by vehicles and mother died of sorrow. She's the only who survived among her family. She was puppy at that time and hasn't been in spot of other street dogs cause her mother used to avoid her offsprings to get close to the other stray dogs. She used to be avoided by them. So interactions of puppys are neglected. But the grief incident happened to her made to feel insecure to puppy as she lost her everything. So I adopted her and she became a member of my family now. We named her KUTTHI. Now she's happy with us. I always wonder that what breed is she is but now after watching this video it conformed that my KUTTHI is chichuana. She looks as it is like my KUTTHI. Hope that someone will adopt her soon. Good Luck.

Hvala vam što ste spasili ovu prelepu kucu i pružili joj šansu za lepši život, hvala vam svima koji pokazujete toliku ljubav za životinje❤❤❤❤❤

I wish Eldad were the one rescuing ALL stray dogs. His method is so kind, patient, loving and dog smart. I've never seen a better rescuer and I've watched endless videos of people who also rescue but do NOT have the savvy and patience of Eldad. I hope he sees this. Respect!!!

She's such a beauty.

My heart was breaking for this poor little pup. I can't imagine the fear they feel in their situations. You guys are so patient and kind!

Looking at the dogs eyes made me crying right now

How their eyes gain light ......when they realised they are SAFE. Thank you good people and that includes donators and rescuers

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!

Makes me so happy there is people like this

Thats a dear head chihuahua beautiful girl .

I have four dogs of my own. All rescued. I can never imagine myself ever doing any harm to them. People who do this to animals must have some demons in them. Justice comes to those who wait and those people will sure get what they deserve. Keep up the great work! I wish I could do more.

OMG!!! Washington😍😍😍

Bless, what a cute little bean she is!

Terima kasih sudah menolong nya...... kamu berhati mulia

Eldad and Loretta are literally angels walking among us. They are amazingly skilled, patient and caring rescuers. The world is a better place because of them. Thank you

I love this dog

I've never seen a dog with so much expression on its face! I'm not crying my eyes are jusg sweating.......

That is one of the more social and less bitey Chihuahuas I've seen. Sweet girl

Wow Loreta ...despite a nasty potential bite ..she goes straight back with food to show shes no threat .... so brave and caring ❤

I don’t cry in happiness I don’t cry in sadness I cry in thankfulness

You guys are the best👍😉

Look @ her big eyes... she looks frighten with fear but they soon calm him down... nice work

Poor sweet girl. She had so much fear in her eyes. Just makes you wanna love her even more.

One of the best channel on RU-vid.....

It’s so nice how you don’t ever give up no matter if this dog bites you always keep trying I love you guys so much

Those eyes, those big scared sad eyes.. Poor baby.. So happy you rescued this little girl..

I always say, Love is the Only Truth. and as, we can see, it also os a Healer❤💯❤

So far i donated 500$ for the past few years keep the good worj love yall

Poor dog❤🙁🐶💖Good job guys👍🏼😍

I was happy to become a monthly donor after seeing this. ❤️😻🦴🐾🐾🍔

In that home every dog has their own sad story .

Poor dog. When I first saw her I thought it was Dobby the House Elf.

OMG I want ChiChi so badly, but my parents won't let me get a dog for a while. Thank you so much Hope For Paws, dogs are my favorite animal and I love seeing them happy after being so sad.😊

Amazing how something as small as a nice bath just makes all the difference.

Each and every single member of your team deserves a medal for your hardwork and dedication in helping to give these poor animals all the help they need to be proper dogs again 👏🏻

Keep up the good work..

Her eyes tell everything.

Thanks a lot of you for helping that animal thank you so much again God bless you

It's wonderful to watch them blossom from a dog that has been betrayed to one whose faith has been restored. You can see on their faces from the beginning that they are frightened but still are hoping that someone is going to be kind to them.

My Grandma who passed away. She had the same nickname: ChiChi. This reminds me so much of her. Thank you for your help Hope For Paws. 👍🏼😭💙🙏🏼💙

You have huge support from Croatia!!!

People that "don't get it" as far as rescuing animals and lavishing them with praise and love need to know that it's not just about the animals, it's also about you. You feel so good about yourself when you step up and unselfishly offer to help. Everyone wins.

Don't loose hope people. We were special from other animals and thats for a reason.This shows us that we haven't forgotten this. That we are humans!

This channel makes my feel warm inside

The sadness in her eyes broke my heart...thank God there are still good people like you guys! God bless you all for the good you do everyday, to these loyal and wonderful creatures who have been broken by the evil of men...may your hearts be blessed!

Precious lady😢. Thank you for helping her and showing her love and safety ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Animals like ChiChi need companionship and true love! Loneliness is really tough on them! Thanks for caring !!

god bless you guys

The dog looks like Dobbie from Harry Potter lol

Loretta is a bad ass. She takes a bite and keeps going! God bless her!

When heartless humans make such adorable dogs homeless they won't realize that they will have to regret for doing such a thing to a cute and loving dog
