The Heartwarming Rescue Of A Homeless Senior Dog Will Give You All The Feels A video capturing the heartwarming rescue of an abandoned senior dog is reminding us this week of the power of second chances.
Before his rescue, Mufasa the dog had been living at a water treatment plant in Los Angeles -- sick, alone and surrounded by tanks of what appeared to be hazardous chemicals.
Fortunately, Eldad Hagar, the founder of animal rescue organization Hope for Paws, learned of Mufasa’s plight from an employee at the facility and quickly rushed to the dog’s aid.
The rescue itself proved to be no picnic, however. When Hagar and his companions got there, the weary pooch, visibly scared and shaken, was reluctant to get close.
Moreover, “there were open tanks with very toxic chemicals all around Mufasa, which made this rescue risky and difficult,” Annie Hart, an animal rescue advocate who works closely with Hagar, told The Huffington Post.
But despite the challenges, Mufasa’s rescuers persevered, and after plenty of coaxing and offering of treats, they managed to place a leash on the dog to lead him to safety.
“Though Mufasa was frightened to be rescued, he quickly embraced the second chance he was being given,” said Hart.
And what a difference that’s made.
After being showered, treated by doctors for an ear infection and intestinal parasites, and smothered with love and kisses, Mufasa has found a new lease on life.
He’s now living with a foster family and is looking for a forever home.
“Senior dogs can be the toughest to adopt out, but providing a loving home for an older dog can be the most rewarding experience,” Hart, founder of animal rescue organization Rescue from the Hart, said.
Just one glimpse at this beautiful face is proof enough.
