  • Loreta was quick here and managed to avoid a bite, but in two days, I will post a video where she wasn't that lucky and was bitten TWICE - I will post it here: www.HopeForPaws.org ❤️
    When we got a text on the #HopeForPaws emergency line, we headed out to rescue #Arnold. It's important to understand that dogs like him don't usually leave the shelters alive... the system doesn't have the resources to provide the support system that a dog like him needs.
    After ruling out a medical issue, Arnold continued to our friends at #FoxyAndTheHounds where Terri Fox had to teach him how to love all over again. She did a great job and she really turned him around! She then did something even more amazing, but you'll have to watch until the end 🥰
    There are many more dogs for adoption on their website: www.FoxyAndTheHounds.org
    I just spoke to Loreta and she asked if there is any way for her to text our subscribers... she wants to send a message to everybody. I told her that every person who signs up here will get her text: www.HopeForPaws.org/Join
    Thank you so much for watching our videos! Tomorrow I will post another video 😉

    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!!

      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.

    We have had 2 dogs that we know were abused. We had another that we suspected was abused. One came to us on a plane and it took me 4 hours to get her to come out of the crate 1/2 way. The other piddled when she was excited and then cowered because she had been hit for piddling. The suspected abused dog would "shy" and raise one paw to cover her face when she was scolded. It made me mad that she did this as I thought everyone who saw it would think I was the abuser. People who saw me with her quickly realized I was not the one who abused her as she and I had a great relationship and she was always treated like a queen. "Flooding" if used correctly does work. And it is much easier with a small dog. Hope for Paws knows what they are doing. That's why I choose to donate to them. I have never seen a rescue that I questioned what they did. They are professional and loving. Happy New Year!

      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.

    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.

They only want to fight about something. At least that's been my experience with them. When asked, they can't tell you anything other than "that's cruel". If you tell them to study something or find out the reasons or other underlying factors, they "don't have the time for that".

I did all I could do to restrain myself from getting involved. Being a animal advocate and a lover of all animals, I could not witness this without stopping this cruel act before my eyes. I let out a scream, just as the owners mother was coming out. "STOP IT". The children looked at me in shock. I called the oldest to my car to educate these children of how much that dog loves them even when they hit him. That very dog may save your life some day. Telling them true facts of bravery dogs have done saving a child and adults. They listened intently.

    Three years ago we purchased a German Shepherd puppy as we're lovers of GSDs and this one was three months old with had perfect markings. Absolutely adorable she looked on the photos so we were wondering all the way why this one was not sold first.
    We arrived at the hobby farm and we were approached by the GSD mummy who appears good tempered (that's how we get to know the pups temperament) and we patted the mum very well. It came to the pup where the owner brought it out the pup shrieked and cried at being touched and being held. She was that petrified that she urinated on us.
    For a good 20 minutes, we sat at the porch and patted this perfect looking pup. We knew that this was going to be a hell of a challenge and we purchased her. She came home and met our aged border collie where they became instant friends and settled to the family however we knew that she was abandoned or abused even at that very young age.
    It took constant dedication where she would not go into a car but we took she to a local shopping centre to be socially trained we wanted every to pat her so she would get used to humans even strangers and children where one time and RSPCA officer saw this and commented with praise at the dedication into training her.
    Three years later she is trained really well and while she still does not trust strangers but she is at a stage that she will allow them to approach. She not a dangerous dog but she really has that GSD stare at strangers and I pity any person who would try to enter our premesis without authorisation because her loyalty is exceptional.

    The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Arnold went from a little dog terrified to be touched to a happy, affectionate, confident dog so clearly the flooding technique works and that’s good enough for me. It’s not cruel so I fail to see why anybody would object. That’s life though, no matter what you do there will be criticism but if it’s not constructive or valid criticism it’s best ignored. Another wonderful Hope for paws rescue and kudos to the caring couple that changed Arnold’s life by providing him with food and a safe place before calling for help.

I decided to start with a long pole with a towel on the end of it, and I did the flooding technique. He never really freaked out after the initial touch each time, and within 2 months, he was a totally different cat, cuddling with me and being affectionate as heck!!

    I actually didn't know this technique had a name, but I've used it on fosters and shelter animals during socialization. It's obviously not ideal for every animal or situation, but it's often the best and quickest way to show an animal, definitively, that no matter what they do, they will NOT be hurt or punished for it. It can really be the fastest way to show them that they are in a safe environment with safe people in it and that it's okay to relax.

    Word of advice for those who may want to post about the flooding:
    Flooding is a non-aggressive technique often used by professionals as a form of information association. It is a gentle, time consuming technique that *does not* harm the animal. The animal may be terrified, but they are *never* hurt during this process. It's the idea of be the change you want to see, just used with gentle movements and many many rounds of therapy.
    For those who'd like a more 'personal' way to understand this, think of it like a person with anxiety, such as myself. The person is backed into a corner and is *terrified* because of the unknown, but the person in front of them is one of their supports. They may not know it, but they are. Sometimes as a person with anxiety, you can be scared over the smallest things and all it takes is constant support and care. That's what Flooding is. Personal 1 on 1 support that shows the animal that you can be trusted, and as long as you're there, the danger is nullified. My boyfriend is my support. Hope for Paws was Arnold's.
    Please, before you assume something, take the time to research or consult someone you trust.

    • @Hannah-zw9ow
