Injured and feisty baby raccoon doesn't surrender without a fight.

- This is my first interaction with a raccoon face-to-face, and dealing with a wild raccoon, let alone an injured one is tricky! I am so happy amazing citizens joined me on this mission and helped me complete this mission successfully - I really couldn't have done it without them!
My #HopeForPaws team would like to do a lot more rescues out in the field and spend as little time as possible on fundraising for these expensive medical bills. The best way to help us do that is by joining our team with a small monthly donation here: www.HopeForPaw...
If everyone watching this video would have donated just $5 a month, we would be able to rescue so many more animals and we will be able to post so many more videos for you to enjoy ;-)
Thank you Pacific Wildlife Project for taking care of this baby and for releasing her back to the wild. I am so bummed I didn't get to see it, but I was sick and had to take care of myself so I could go back and continue doing what's most important to me - rescuing the next one!
Have a great day!

Wow, the change in her face after she got her abscesses treated was just wonderful! Thank you, Eldad! I'm donating......
I noticed it, too. She "got it" that the strange two-leggeds weren't going to eat her or hurt her. It was so nice to see that.
Thank you Janet. She is so cute in these two photos :-)
I am surprised that all my wildlife rescue videos are not doing well... people are really missing out.
@@hopeforpaws this was an awesome rescue. I was on the edge of my seat watching this. Thanks to all the other heros that helped with this rescue. Thank you Hope for Paws another successful rescue & a little life was saved. God bless all that helped her get well.

The guys of Hope for Paws are not just men and women, They are angels.
And heros!!!
I would say they’re guardians 😌
'America needs more people like you'.
NO!
The WORLD needs more people like you!!!
You guys are the best people! Thanks so much for protecting the beautiful animals in this world
People should stop saying "we need more people like you" and start saying "I'll try to be like you". I'd people would even just call paws for hope instead of walking away from animals that need help, it'll help more than comments
@@rustythevizsla3605 I understand your point but if someone like me wants to catch an injured Raccoon without any tools is that possible ? they have the tools they have the opportunity to take these little angels to doctors I could only dream of that I try to help when they are dogs or cats or birds but this one 😒
There are other channels of animal rescue from various countries. People are doing what they can, but there are countries with a lot of abandoned animals which the government won't do anything about.

The lenghts you go through to rescue animals is admirable
For real for real
You guys are the best of the best. Thanks so much. 🤩
That lady was so right. These are the kind of people we need in this country right now. They give us hope for humanity. Great job saving that cute raccoon 🦝

I rescued a baby raccoon from my parents swimming pool when I was a kid. He lived in our house for 7 years, got really fat and moved out.
Everybody loved him. His name was "Bandit".
E4T6 perfect name for a beautiful creature!!
What a great story about your childhood pet. Bandit received seven long years of love! 🦝
Tolle Leistung, unbeschadet eingefangen, nun noch die Untersuchung, und dann steht der Genesung nicht,s mehr im Wege.
E4T6 Sorry but Racoons are not pets. It had to have lived in a cage because as an adult it would have torn your house apart. No wild animal should be kept in a cage.
A friend and coworker of my mom’s rescued an abandoned kit from her mom’s barn. He lived with her for several years and had run of the house. She lived in a turn of the century house with a 3-season porch that had French doors. It was converted into his special lair. She put in a good sized tree limb that he loved climbing and that was where he ate because he was messy. One of his favorite things was an oatmeal based concoction she made with fruit mixed in. I forget what she’d originally named him, but since he would so noisily enjoy that oatmeal, she changed his name to his happy noise, Wuffle. The name actually suited him perfectly.
Overall, he was a pretty good boy. He and the cat had an understanding that the cat was the one in charge. At least that was the cat’s understanding. He did have his naughty side though. One Friday afternoon, I’d asked Jane if I could be at her house until the school function that was happening started. Jane lived across the street from my (private) high school and we lived clear across town. She said she’d be getting ready for a date, but it was fine. While she showered and changed, I did my homework in her living room.
Suddenly I heard, “Wuffle! Come back here!” and a raccoon streak ran through the living room dragging a pair of pantyhose. Wuffle had gotten on the bed where Janes’s clothes were laid out, figured out how to open the egg (if you’re old enough, you’ll understand) and had stolen the pantyhose as his prize. We managed to catch him and retrieve the pantyhose, but he pouted mightily. She later told my mom that she’d taken to buying really cheap pantyhose from Kresge’s and would put them in the eggs. Wuffle thought he’d won because he got to “steal” his mom’s pantyhose, and Jane was able to keep her good pantyhose from him and wear them. I think he lived to about 15.
Who else LOVES these rescues?

Eldad, Your victories are OUR victories. Thank you for caring!
I love how you inspire people all around you by „just“ doing what you do... something so „simple“ as having a big heart for every living creature everytime turns into something very very special. Watching this channel gives me lots of hope and happiness. Keep it up and keep it coming! Monika from Germany😻
Wish we would have more PPL with such Souls in my country.

I found a baby raccoon under my dads car maybe a year ago and it was the cutest thing ever!
Aww
They are! Years ago, some friends of ours who lived in the mountains had a whole family of them who would visit every night. They had a huge redwood deck that hung out over a ravine. The raccoons would come up on the deck and knock on the sliding glass doors. Our friends would take them plates of raw veggies, hard boiled eggs, canned tuna and bowls of water. They would wash everything before eating. Momma would peel the eggs and hand them out to the kits to eat. After they ate, toys would be brought out and the kits would play and roll around on the deck. Momma and two of the older raccoons would crawl up on our friends' laps for cuddles while the young'uns played. Better than TV any day! :-)
When Tom Cruise retires, you can take over his role in Mission Impossible.
Good one Stefan Coetzee!
Tom Cruise is way under the required level to save animals ! He is just an actor, Eldad makes it in real life !
Lol! Good one.
Bless you guys for saving these animals! ❤
Thank you so much for rescuing that baby raccoon. She’ll have a good life now.❤️🦝
Your willingness to go to some very unpleasant locations for these rescues is something to be greatly admired. I too am glad that you did not have to crawl through that drainage system. Walking through it was bad enough. Your care and compassion for all animals is above and beyond expression.
I hope that you are feeling better Eldad..
I am back to normal now - Thank you :-)
A fellow raccoon! You rescued my kind, thank u hooman!
Floofy Raccoon ur her long lost sis/bro?
@@ivyclaudetteanca2995 Yesh. UwU
*Sis. OwO
WOW!, Eldad. That was exciting. I remember when Tinkerbell was rescued in the LA River. I had no idea those rivers were like that. You areca very brave man capturing an injured raccoon. You do God's work.
🙄❤❤❤👌👍
Eldad you are one of those special people that do not give up on any animal that needs help. I am honoured to be able to help with a small donation. Lots of small donations add up so help if you can people for the super human efforts Edad puts in for animals in distress. Also I thank you people that alerted Eldad to this dear racoon's plight and helped Eldad to rescue it in a very difficult situation. He couldn't have done it without you. You are heroes.
Who else love animals!!
Me i watch these videos a lot
This rescue of a tiny animal who didn't understand it needed help from the huge, scary creature stalking it was amazing. The risk, expertise, apparatus and effort involved in this operation is astounding. And his empathy for the little one in terms of talking to it, and calming it, is heartwarming. WELL DONE!
With the music, sounded like a James Bond mission 😁
I was thinking that. 😆
I noticed that too. Really dramatic.
You do amazing work!! I love raccoons I have one that visits our house that has babies!! Thanks for helping out animals!!!
God bless you Eldad n the all team Hope for Paws 🙏😇
❤️ From Indonesia 🇮🇩
The lenghts you go through to rescue animals is admirable
So brave! I admire you a lot! Thanks for being there for these guys.
OMG Eldad, you are incredible. Thank you sooooooo much for all you do!
Eldad, you are an Angel. Those people were also so WONDERFUL to help you. PLEASE SUPPORT HOPE FOR PAWS AS YOUR GENEROSITY MAKES THESE RESCUES POSSIBLE. I am proud to be a faithful supporter; you will be too!
Omg so empty. I’ve never seen California like that. COVID-19 has certainly affected us all. But animal rescue never stops.
Thank You for another fabulous save!
Poor little raccoon 🦝 .
You’ll be better soon.
You did an amazing job getting that raccoon I do wildlife humane trap and relocation here in Arizona and that was a great job you and the vets and rehab did to save this animal thank you for caring so much
That was a perilous rescue. I have cared for raccoons before & they are the scariest critters. Give me an opossum any day. You do good work Eldad
Racoons are actually very sweet and smart animals UNLESS they are starving, hurt or cornered. I feed them all the time. After they get use to you they will not bite you. Thank you for saving this baby.
Amazing for saving him it is so amazing I am glad my puppy is with me
Eldad, I thought I had run out of tears during these hard times. Watching your dedication and compassion for ALL living beings brought me to tears once more in the best way possible. Thank you and hope you feel better. 🤍🖤🦝🦝
This was a great rescue, but I couldn't help but be amused by the Aphex Twin logo next to the tunnel she was rescued out of. I'd like to imagine she was a DJ and hosting like Raccoon Raves in there.
Eldad, I watch your videos every night before I go to sleep. I cry a lot, partly for the suffering these poor souls go through, and then tears of joy when they are healed and/or rehabilitated and go on to be so happy. I think of you and Loreta as the Mother Teresa of the animal realm. The love that you give these abandoned creatures also makes me cry with joy. Thank you for your enormous compassion, patience and caring.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇
Aww it's sooo cute. Thanks a lot hope for paws for helping animals during these hard times...
Love from India 🇮🇳
"No, No, no, no teeth." Racoon: "Yea, right..."
You're an Angel, Eldad. Thanks for being who you are. Thank you for being willing and able to help so many animals.
Watching you guys, Eldad rescuing a racoon makes me not doubt humanity that all animals are to be rescued. I've seen a racoon beaten to death with a bat and no one helped but encouraged it. Other animal shelters don't want to be involved in rescuing them especially NY/NJ AREA. BLESS YOU GUYS
When I was about 3, me and my sister lived in an apartment complex with my older brother. We saved the baby raccoon from a bush of dead things and took him in. We had him for a while then let him back into the wild. So happy he made it! His name was Bandit- one of the most common raccoon names lol. Thank you, @Hope For Paws for saving his life.
Thx for the likes!!!!!
She's adorable, yet needs to be respected as a wild animal. Thank you so much to all of the volunteers - true heros!! All lives matter! ✨🙏💕🙏✨
Massive love and support for Hope for Paws!
Racoons are so freakin' satisfying to look at...ima chubby but who cares?
Love ya Eldad❤️
Hi, nick.

So greatful thank you Eldad for caring for eny and all animals.hope you feel better soon God bless
“I’ll see you on the other side”
Me: RAISE A GLASS TO FREEDOM
Eldad........the places you go. You are simply AMAZING! Thank you, thank you, thank you for what you do!!!
Only you could have done this rescue, I miss Loreta, hope to see her in the next rescue 🌎🇬🇧
I am pretty sure that she is on the next video that is coming up ;-)
Eldad, you are amazing!!!!
Ok, I just got emotional with the addition of the helper’s video who pled for Hope for Paws! Eldad and all who help are awesome!
Thanks for rescuing a raccoon. They are really nice animals that people often don't appreciate. My sister rescued baby raccoons twice and released them back into the wild. First one died from canine distemper, but the group of 4 were all vaccinated for it and continue. 3 of the 4 visit briefly in the Summer (after 6 years) and then go off and do raccoon things again.
Eldad’s not even scared, he just wants to help 👏💗
Instead of being scared, I am careful, and it keeps me safe ;-)
The best rescue team around. Please contribute to this site so they can continue the rescues. I am proud to be a monthly contributor. We can help together ♥️👏👍🐕
Great job, as always! And a big thanks as well to the people who called and helped in the rescue, and recovery 😊
Eldad, you’re such an amazing human being. The world is in so much turmoil and you are a light in this darkness. Thank you 🙏.
Have you and your team been vaccinated against rabies? 🙏🏻
Until that day, I didn't know I was a raccoon rescuer, so there was never a real need for it (I believe the last case of a dog with rabies in California was back in the 80's). If more calls for raccoons will come in because of this video, I'll reconsider it. Thanks for the reminder :-)
Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel here in Maryland there have been several instances of rabies in feral cats. That’s why many rescuers (and veterinarians, including mine) get vaccinated. Just in case!
YOU GUYS ARE BRAVE, SMART, PATIENT, LOVING, KIND, GUTS, YOU ARE TRULY A VERY SPECIAL AND WONDERFUL PERSON, IF ANIMALS COULD TALK!!!!!!., SHE IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!! Thank you so very very much!!!!!💕😘🤗🙏
Awesome! I ❤️ the team work 👍 ALL animals matter whether they are domestic or wild. Those abscesses must have been so painful 😖
What a sweetheart. She was much calmer after she was treated for her horrible wounds. Poor thing was probably in so much pain and fear. Thank you so much for saving her!
What a beautiful animal 😍
Eldad you are improving your rescuing skills 👍 good job
Thank you for being you 💕
Eldad,. Thank you for your constant patience , determination, enginuity , and compassion. THAT makes ALL the difference.
This fella later teams up with a tree-looking guy and goes on several exciting adventures and later helps saves the universe! 🚀💪😅
Another wonderful rescue Eldad! You must be so busy now with the fires! I’m sorry I have to support Australian animal rescues like yours but I do hope that those watching are donating. You do such a wonderful job and you all care so much about each animal.
Oh such a sweet girl 🥰! I love raccoons 🦝❤!!! Thank you for saving her and have her the medical treatment she needed 😘!
Last winter I had two raccoons visit me every night since I have catfood standing outside... Zorro even came inside a few times through the cat flap 😳... I named them Zorro and Zora 🦝😍❤.... It is so much fun to watch them eating!!!
Eldad is a hero for doing this rescue and remaining so calm and focused. His team deserves your monthly financial support and if this video doesn't prove that to you I don't know what will. Our family contributes every month on the 13th and it is a privilege to be in the HFP financial supporters crew. Every month my grand kids come to me to verify our contribution was sent and when I show them the PayPal receipt they are so proud of our effort.
Amazing rescue, amazing people who help you.
Grazie dall'Italia
Love the part when Eldad says... Now listen.. You are amazing.. Its no joke rescuing this raccoon. The climbing. Running.. Catching. Planning.. Goodness. All adrenaline rush.. But thank you Eldad.. Been there done that.. So I feel for you. Salute you.. 👍
you guys are simply amazing...thank you so very much for everything you do...God Bless you!!!
Eldad, even during such crazy times, you still care above all. One of my favorite critters. Thank you to you and your team always.
I swear I stopped breathing when Eldad was chasing it in the tunnel!
I'm glad it wasn't such a long run or you would have passed out :-)
We need more people like you in this world! Keep up the good work. Love from India ❤️
Eldad, you never cease to amaze me! Another job well done, and to all those volunteers who came together to help with her rescue, I completely agree, we need more of this in our world!
Hopefully I'll land the job after this pandemic so that I can donate and be a member of the Hope for Paws team even if I'm not from the US.
Lee Ramos . One thing we can all do is to allow the adverts to run to the end. It usually only takes 30 seconds and will increase the revenues they get from the advertisers.
Eldad, thank you for this rescue and your timely posting. You are bright spot in a troubled world. Sorry to hear you were sick but hope you are all better now and keeping safe and well. Hope Loreta is safe and well too!
Wish I could be like you guys
Don’t say we need more people like her/him Be like her/him

Be like him. 🤗Don't wait for the world to change, be yourself first step👍

There are plenty of people who do this everyday without posting the shit with "Action themed background music" and begging for donations. Your county animal control rescues hundreds of animals a week. Even Wildlife management rescues
These rescue always make me cry tears of joy. THANK YOU!!!
the rescue was as adventurous as that background music 💯
We love you Eldad! 💞 Thank you for helping all these animals. You make this world a brighter place.
Aloha Eldad, you are so brave going into these drains & awesome for all that u do!
Awesome Eldad! Hope for paws is amazing. Please donate so they can keep helping animals in need.❤️
bro this is so amazing i want to do this one day
Just do it!🤗👍
Eldad you are AWESOME!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!! This world does need more hero's like you!!! LOVE and PRAYERS ALWAYS from Gainesville Florida!
I love your content. Makes my day!
Thank you Hope 4 paws!! God be with you all during your rescues!! Raccoons can be dangerous,but they are so pretty!! They need help to!! Just don't look down!! Good Luck!! USA!😇!🙏🌟🕊⚘👍
It's 1am here in my country yet I'm still binge-watching your videos. Godbless you Eldad, Loreta, JoAnn and the rest of Hope for Paws team!
Get better soon, Eldad. You are an inspiration to all who love animals! Prayers and Love.
I watch the Raccoon Whisperer every night, before dreamland. The man has been feeding them for 20 years.
I watch him also. The raccoons sure trust and love him. He's a great fella.
I watch him too!
Indeed, Papa Jim is a great fella. I watch him every day too, since a few years. It's amazing how some young coons climb into his lap and take wieners out of his hand.
Hope and paws people are angle on the earth. God bless you and your family. We want more resuce people like Hope and paws. They are concerned about all the animals. Lots of love and care they give towards the sweet animals. I always donate them. So happy to see this little sweet animal feeling much better. Thank you
when you enter such tunnels, you must have an oxygen mask with you, as there may be co and not oxygen and there is a danger of suffocation
kyb70 tomsk 🤔 That is correct when the drain is enclosed. This drain was open to the air and it was very large size. Eldad was not in any obvious danger, other than from the raccoon.
@@sirmeowthelibrarycat I will not be clever, I just saw such an accident in the RUclips video, and the raccoon is really a dangerous cute monster
@@sirmeowthelibrarycat If it's long enough it can still be a danger without ventilation
FYI, this is a storm drain, not a sewer, plus it was well ventilated. Pretty sure his only danger was from the raccoon. Or a flash flood, but that's not too likely where he's at.
I appreciate the concern to my health. This one was the largest one I ever ran into, and it was ventilated... I wasn't worried about it even for a second. A possible raccoon with rabies - now that's a different story :-)
I was very careful, and luckily, she was a healthy baby.
I can’t get over her cuteness. I’m so happy she was fully rehabilitated. I hope she’s having a wonderful life in the wild. Thank you for all you do Hope For Paws, you guts are awesome 🦝❤️🖤🥰😍
Amazing always love to watch ur vids
You and the concerned citizens did an amazing job rescuing the injured raccoon. It must have been daunting dealing with one for the first time. I am so impressed. Terrific teamwork!
Raccoon's are rear spiecies ! Thankyou for saving that cutie pie :)
You work so hard !! 💖
Not where I live they're not! We call them trash pandas and tens of thousands live in and around cities in Canada. Watch the Toronto Raccoon prof garbage cans Videos. They are cute...dangerous but cute.
In addition to the fantastic people at Hope for Paws I love seeing how so many people come together to help rescue these animals. So many strangers coming together and working to help a baby racoon in need. It's heartwarming in the best way, and it just goes to show how good people can be.
We all should care and love our innocent animals
Eldad, you and your whole team are absolutely wonderful! I don't know that most people would want to chase down a raccoon anywhere, especially in a storm drain! You are absolutely wonderful! So thankful you all have such big hearts! Stay safe and healthy! 🐾♥️
Thank you to everyone who saved this baby raccoon's life.
I'm so happy she was rescued by you and was able to get medical care and released back to the wild. Thank you for what you do for these critters, even the wild ones.
Aw poor animals that people drop of in the middle of no where or where they can’t get out. But luckily they are safe because of Hope for Paws.
This was a wild animal. Since she was extremely fearful of people, it's likely she accidentally got in there without anyone putting her there.
FireCracker3240 that’s true but if they get somewhere where they can’t get out, Hope for Paws helps them.
Always impressed by the lengths you go to rescuing innocent animals & getting them the help they need.
I enjoyed the narration at the beginning of the video. You should do it more.
Eldad your such an inspiration, and when I get older I want to do something like this!
