Living on the streets presents high risks to a stray. Not finding food and shelter tops the list. Getting injured and not receiving treatment also threatens their lives every day.
Good Samaritan Evan Daniele tried getting a stray named Polly off the streets. He fed Polly and worked on gaining her trust constantly. However, his efforts continued to fail even after six months.
Evan decided to ask for help. He rang Hope For Paws. Hope for Paws’ mission is to save strays, making them the best people to assist Evan.
Eldad Hagar and Loreta Frankonyte of Hope For Paws met with Evan at Polly’s location. They immediately saw her hiding from the sweltering sun in the shade. Eldad and Loreta devised a plan to catch Polly quickly before she runs off again.
Loreta tried to coax Polly with a cheeseburger, hoping to put a Lucky Leash on the pooch while it’s eating and distracted. Polly didn’t go for it, so Eldad tried to approach slowly and catch her with the gentle snare. The dog narrowly avoided the snare though when Eldad tried to put it on her.
Loreta then decided to sneak behind Polly and catch her using the net while Eldad and Evan held her attention up front. Eldad distracted the dog, and as the pooch tried to make a run for it, Loreta expertly caught her with the net. Polly tried her best to escape, but her rescuers assured her patiently until she eventually calmed down.
Eldad and Loreta then brought Polly to the CARES facility. The rescuers bathed and groomed her so the pooch feels relaxed before getting a medical check-up. The vets at CARES determined that Polly broke two of her ribs, but they made sure to set her up for a full recovery once they finished looking over her.
Smooch Pooch Dog Rescue then made sure to nurse Polly back to health as a foster. Polly now looks healthier than ever and enjoys playing with her foster siblings. After living on the streets for a long time, Polly now excitedly waits to live with her forever family.
