Hope For Paws, a rescue organization in California, got a tip about a dog living by a roadside, nestled in trash. They didn’t know what to expect.

When they arrived, the person who called them in pointed out the dog’s location. Approaching cautiously, unsure if the dog was hurt, the rescuer tried to make the dog comfortable by offering food to show his friendly intentions.

After gaining a bit of trust, the rescuer gently leashed the dog and prepared him for the journey to the rescue vehicle.

The dog, now named Chico, was hesitant to leave his makeshift safe space. Eventually, the rescuer picked him up and carried him to the car. The drive to the shelter was calm, and Chico began to relax.

At the shelter, Chico received a warm bath to clean off fleas and dirt, and then settled into his own kennel for a much-needed rest.

Once clean and assessed by the rescuers, Chico was placed up for adoption. It didn’t take long for him to find a forever home. His new family was thrilled to welcome such a resilient and loving dog.

His rescuers are overjoyed to see Chico thrive in his new life, a testament to their hard work and his enduring spirit.
