Thank you to everyone who made sure Meatball was safe. Whoever adopts this precious boy will be very lucky, indeed, and blessed with a loving, faithful and joyful companion. Thanks, HFP, for all you do on behalf of creatures in need.💕🐾🐾

Thank you to his caretakers in the yard and as always, thank you to Hope For Paws for your continued help in saving Gods gift to us all! 💕

How could the owner of this sweet adorable dog abandoned him like this. It's so cruel.

@@latonyanewsome0 yes, I agree, but that still doesn’t mean he was abandoned. Sometimes people go into nursing homes and the adult children could care less about the pets they could’ve just open the door and a way he goes, or he didn’t feel comfortable with whoever was coming in to take care of him and he ran away. There are people who don’t know about social media and they don’t know where to post, so there are just too many variables for people to make accusations or come to conclusions so quickly who knows we will never know.

Because the economy is going to the dogs. Our homelessness rate has hit an all time high. Thatsnks everyone who voted in this administration.

I just adopted a Newfoundlander cross that was mistreated by her owner. She is laying on the bed beside me with a full tummy and snoring happily. People do not deserve dogs.

I was inspired by Hope For Paws. My Dog (my last dog) died in August. I swore no more dogs. Then in about January 2024, I started to see a skeletol little black and tan Chihuaha Terrier Mix. I started to feed him-- not every day. We looked around for the owner. This dog had very stong bones showing due to starvation. A neighbor caught him, and then because he had 3 dogs mentioned him to us, and begged us to take him (they were expecting a baby). He is now our dog. We also have a Shepard mix who was abandoned, and a kitty I found nearly dead and frozen in the road on a winter's day. We did find the original owner. He said he did not care about the dog. So we now have our crazy Chi-terrier boi.

Meatball had a lot of friends looking out for him ❤🎉

i dont think meatball will have trouble finding a home

Why do dogs abandon their dogs? Homelessness, loss of a job, financially unable to support a dog, etc. I'm glad these folks could help.

I will NEVER understand why so called "people' do this!!!😠 My little kitty was also abandoned by her former owners. Makes me so mad. Thank you all for saving him. I'm sure Meatball will find the perfect family~~ Hope you & Loretta are getting better Eldad!

People do it because dog food and vets have become hugely expensive, and the vets will only tell you about the most expensive options. I rescued a dog, and on the first "free" vet visit, he told me he had allergies, and that it would be 250 a month to treat him. Then he told me I "had" to feed commercial dog food. Fortunately I have had dogs with allergies, so I know what to give him that is safe, and he is getting treated for dollars, instead of hundreds of dollars. I hear this type of thing from everyone now, and people panic. I have a friend who only had kill shelters near them. We were fortunate that we could help, but many don't or they are so overwhelmed that they make bad decisions. And remember, these people aren't perfect either. They have made some bad mistakes over time. If you are going to get mad, get mad at the people who are really causing this.

@@ohana8535 You don't abandon an animal. I'm sorry that's how I feel. No matter what, you can find a better option ( unless of course you are homeless yourself) and even if it is a "Kill" shelter the animal has a better chance there than being abandoned. I see too many road kills + coyote attacks to justify this action. Enough said.

@@ohana8535yeah, no. There are tons of shelters across the USA & Canada, many rescues that will help. If you have, even a thought that 1) you can’t manage a pets medical emergencies 2) can’t afford to feed your pet if you became sick or lost a job 3) are planning on moving into a so called “pet free” place, etc. don’t ever adopt an animal. Ever. It’s shit like this that makes me angry. I have two cats and I’d NEVER abandon them. This is also why you should also adopt from a rescue - many will take the animal back if you can’t continue to care for it. It’s not okay to abandon any creature, ever. Vets have always been expensive, vets peddle their food as they get a profit off it. Before someone decides to take an animal into their home, they need to be responsible and think of all the associated costs that come with owning a pet. They are expensive and always will be.

Definitely needs a home with kids with all that goofy puppy energy

I hope Meatball gets a home with kids. They can all wear each other out having fun. Just putting it out to the universe.

What a gorgeous dog! I love his color and that face! Those ears are one in a million with that sassy tilt. Handsome Meatball. He looks young to me. How can people do that? If he were mine, I'd be heartbroken to even THINK of parting with him. People are morons.

People are struggling. Inequality and insecurity is a serious issue

Awesome baby..will make great family dog

Awesome people and adorable pup! We love you, Meatball!!!❤🐾🐾🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺❤️❤️❤️❤️

What a nice and playful dog. What kind of person abandons such an animal?(Any animal really) Luckily he looks healthy and in good shape so he probably wasn't alone for a long time. I hope he finds a home soon.👍

The animal abandonments are going to be much worse this time around compared to 2008 2009 and 2010. God bless you people for the work you do.

Meatballs help to make friends quickly. Thank you to the kind folks at the industrial workyard, and HFP. Your combined effort has made this rescue safe and easy. Meatball, is an appropriate name for this beautiful and sweet dog. Hope Meatball will be in his forever loving home soon.

Looks like the dog our neighbors put out where we use to live. I will never understand people that do that or people that abuse them. Before we took the dog in my partner went next door just to make sure they had abandoned her. They even admitted it. So sad. We took her immediately to the vet and she had heartworms. She was about a year old. We had her treated and she lived to be almost 15 years old.

What a handsome Lab he is. He will be adopted quickly.

Oh my goodness..what a sweet guy he is..l heard the man who had kept him safe thar he knows how to shake a paw 🐾..so this boy has definitely been dumped😢..l know times are hard but they could have surrendered him not left him on the streets to possibly get hit by a car or attacked and starved..so absolutely no sympathy for his previous owner..don't worry Meatball..you're going to find a wonderful furever home where you can have as many toys and hugs and high fives that you want sweet boy..🇬🇧💕✝️🙏🐾🐕🐾👍👏🇺🇸

He is a smasher deserves a great forever home thanks guys

Someone will be blessed to have him..Labs are awesome loving pups..I have an 11yo yellow Lab laying at my feet right now.. he's all tuckered out from playin twenty minutes of his fave pastime..yep Frisbee👍..he's such a handsome athlete..he makes my world perfect 💜

That’s a beautiful black Labrador and they are the best dogs for a family with children. Whoever left him on the street is crazy! I just adopted a beautiful German shepherd from my local shelter that was found abandoned in the mountains. I think it was fate because I put down 2 dogs in late 2022. One was 17yrs old and the other was 10yrs and had cancer. I waited until I found a dog and didn’t want to buy a puppy. I got lucky and so did my new friend who is only 1 or 2 yrs old. Dogs make us happy and I don’t understand why people are so cruel

Thanks Guys for saving cute friend 🐕‍🦺🥰🙏🙏🙏🤗💖💕🌹
