I am Arnold’s new mama. He had the most amazing Christmas and Santa filled his stocking up with lots of toys. Arnold is by far the hardest rescue we have ever adopted however this little boy wants to love and be loved so very much and every day it gets better. Arnold now spends his days on any and all pieces of furniture in the house. He loves taking a nap on his heating pad most days. He has more toys than he knows what to do with and his diet consists of roasted chicken, boiled chicken, ground sirloin, Kobe beef, roast beef, and turkey. We will spoil Arnold for the rest of his life and love him. We will NEVER abandon him or hurt him. He now lives the life of luxury!!

I have had 24 cats in 44 years. ALL of them were homeless before I rescued them. My girlfriend has 2 cats we rescued from abuse & our beloved Betty Boop cat died 3 years ago at 16 & she was rescued from abandonment, covered with fleas & full of worms. She was one of the sweetest cats ever. My girlfriend has had many homeless cats and kittens as well. Her girlfriend took in a pregnant mama cat and now has 5 and a dog. No animal or human should wind up abandoned and on the street.

People actually gave you a hard time on social media? What a horrible world we live in. Bless you

The negative comments about their rescue techniques are ridiculous. The results speak for themselves. Hope for Paws is definitely one of the top 5 rescue channels on YT. The pets are handled with compassion and patience by everyone involved. I support them whenever I can.🥰

Gotta give kudos to the homeowners - not only feeding the dog and calling in help, but following up with questions to make sure the dog is actually going to be well-cared for. (Not that any of us ever had any doubts!)

Agreed! The best part was the homeowners making sure Arnold was going to an indoor home with his own family and not an outdoor dog sanctuary.

I love that the home owners asked a lot of question about where Arnold would go, would he be in a shelter, alone or with people. They are caring people. Thank you Hope For Paws for taking him into your arms, literally, and making it possible for him to have his new best life. Happy Holidays!!

Marie C That is an unfair statement. It is mostly reacting to the reactions of a frightened animal and not relating this to a human that is severely afraid. If they did this, most would likely feel that if it is okay for a human then the animal will be fine, too. Be careful with your emotions and comments you make. Don't feed the trolls. HFP is about helping not only animals, but helping people to be better pet owners. They do not want people angered any more than they need to be. Nor do they want people to be unreasonable or unbalanced in their anger.

Eldad, do not let the people who left bad messages stop you. That is the downside to comments, but the upside is the overwhelming majority understands. Happy New year, and this is the place I donate. Thanks!

There are people in this world that would criticize regardless of the situation! Pay no attention to them! You folks know what you are doing!!

The end result is what's important, he has a home where he is loved.

My mother had a Chihuahua so I know how timid and nervous they can be but he didn't yelp every time he was touched. He might growl to tell someone he didn't know to keep away but not yelp like that.

To all the people that left nasty messages you should really educate yourself. These people know what they're doing.

Thank you so much!!! Thank you for how you love them!!!! Thank you for showing this love!!! Thank You, Angie

Abuse was the first thing thatcI thought judhing from his reaction 😪 Poor baby, I'm so happy you rescued him and now he has a new lease on life 😊

Maybe he's been a victim of abused, coz if someone tries to pet him, he thinks he's going to be hit or something! Poor baby. Good thing heroes exists in this world. Thanks guys

When she said “ he’s learning that this hands is never gonna hurt him “ 🥺🥺🥺 he looks so happy 🥰

After what that dog has experienced he deserves the best life ever. Thank God for Terry

Every Single Day I come to Hope For Paws for HOPE to help me believe things will get better for all of us.

The unkind comments should be towards the people who initially mistreated and abandoned this poor baby!! So glad he's home now!!!

I can't imagine what happened to him to be so afraid. So glad you got him and could turn him around. Well done guys

I agree with this process.....dogs are unique in getting over trauma faster if they are made to face what scares them and realize they are not getting harmed. As they probably were in the past...

Happy for you arnold... ❤️😇 A loving forever home for you.

I know I'm crying of happiness, but this story touched my soul... For a dog to be so scared of being touched by a human, I cannot imagine the abuse he must have gone thru!

Arnold had so much resistance to love...because he was betrayed and he is full of love...beautiful ending...♡

Arnold, you are living your best life 🥰

The couple who saved Arnold weren't experienced rescuers, so they did what they thought was best. They believed they were doing the right thing by giving Arnold time to de-stress, decompress, and get used to them by not touching him until he was ready. The important thing is that everyone did their part in getting Arnold to where he is today...the couple who caught him, Eldad and his team,Terri and her team, and his adopters. All those people taught Arnold that he has value, and that they were all willing to work hard to teach him to be a trusting, loving boy because his life has meaning and importance, and he deserves a loving forever home.

Eldad and the Hope for Paws staff KNOW what they are doing. Love, patience, honesty, medical care, food and a forever home.

Respect to the people who were worried about his outcomes, not just handing him over to anyone.

God bless Hope For Paws ♡

I used flooding with my 18 month old rescue dog who is now a very happy & relaxed elderly dog. It enabled her to bond with me more quickly. I think it was kinder because there was one person she could rely on to help her overcome her many other terrors. She was an extreme case and I was warned by my vet about fear aggression - she is sweet natured and has never shown any aggression.

I can't even imagine how tired these poor babies are. Thank you again for doing such good.

How wonderful this is!!! Thank you for all your hat you do, and thanks to that wonderful new family, Arnold is so happy!!!!❤❤

unfortunately sometimes people react negatively to things they dont understand and if that method of flooding helps any pet to recover faster and happier how could you be against that?

Anyone criticizing needs to understand that canine behaviour is NOT human behaviour. Dogs are not people. They react on instinct, not by rationalizing. Watching Hope for Paws should convince viewers they know what they're doing! Great job, team!

I adopted an extremely timid and scared 3lb chihuahua from a hoarding situation. She had never been socialized and was about 1 year old. I didn't know there was a technique called 'flooding' but I decided right away she needed to Face Her Fears. So, for the first few weeks, when I was home, she was in a baby front pack carried around or on a leash so she could not run and hide from me. She lived 14 years and was always timid and skittish but also such a sweet, dear, tiny little girl. She learned to love and trust a few special people. We still miss her.

@@lol-gy9pj not really because there are different therapeutic approaches for dogs And humans, both mammals (the same emotional system). When one method works for one patient (dog or human), it does not work the best for another one I speak out of experience (i got different therapies for trauma - for me EMDR failed, a method very efficient for others. The best for me is what can be called 'meditative tools', for others in turn this can be of no interest) But All therapeutic methods that work are based on the same principles (because the mammalian brain (dog or human) works in a defined way) For ex the 1st stage is desensitization - for dogs and humans.

If a story does not have a beginning, middle and end, very likely is fake. Please people donate to this wonderful organization , they truly deserve it.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if an animal has been abused. You just have to try, and hope for the best.

You have 5.44 millions subscribers because we see the immense care and compasion you treat every single animal you rescue. Ignore the critics and keep doing the wonderful work you do.

There's a difference between pushing a animal's boundries to allow them to overcome their fears and there mental trauma's. ... And pushing an animal past it's limits to make it go 'viral' on social media. People stressing out animals for the fun of it and not because it helps the animal in the end.
