Once they get caught, brought in to your shelter, bathed and fed, all their fear disappears and they are just happy puppies.
Awesome rescue, awesome boy 👍🏻🙏🏻
From a figurative and literal dark place to a bright future! That Lino's former owners didn't even care when he went missing proved that they never deserved him in the first place! Now, Lino's in a MUCH better place physically and emotionally, because of you and everyone who helped save him! Thank you so much! 😇😇🐕🐾💞🏡
❤
Thanks Good Samaritan , you started something special. Even if it didn’t work the way you expected, it’s a happy ending. How can it not with HFP on your side?!!
😢 Crying. So happy he got his forever home
Thank you so so much for rescuing Lino. He's a gorgeous dog and deserves so much love and affection. So happy he found his forever home so quick! God bless you all!🙏
Handsome boy!
Thanks to the good Samaritan that paid for medical care for the pup. She tried to do the right thing, but the adopters were bad people!! So happy to see he is finally in loving hands. Sure is one beautiful pup!!
God Bless You All ❌⭕❣️🙏💙☮️
Made my day hearing he got adopted by the staff there ❤
that is a good dog
Thank you all to save this beautiful boy! So good he is adopted now❤bellissimo cucciolone
I’m so happy for Lino finding a forever home .
Thanks HFP,
Of course he'd get adopted right away! He's an incredible dog!!
I don't understand why they don't make animal ramps?
Another great rescue story!
They should build ways OUT of the canals every few hundred feet. Even a thin staircase, wide enough for an animal to climb out but steep enough not to cause a flood. What a terrible infrastructure.
Winning!
❤❤❤❤
Almost ANYTHING is better than a Dodgers game. Great rescue!!!!
I would definitely give him a new name: Dodger 🐶
I know you all will find him the perfect home 💜 thank you for all you do 🙏🤗❤️
Its disgusting, how they even design these type of water ways without even caring about peoples and animals lives!
I mean….how can you not fall in love with him? ❤
БЕЛОЧКУ🐿️🤦🏽♀️🤕 очень жаль😓😥😰
Love happy endings
