They Think They’re Rescuing A Neglected Dog Until They Take A Closer Look

Hope for Paws is a rescue organization based out of Los Angeles, California and the group was created to help suffering animals that have experienced abuse or neglect. The main man in charge is Eldad Hagar. They often get calls from concerned citizens about animals in need. One day, they got a call about a dog wandering in South Central LA, and it was in terrible shape.

Eldad called Lisa Chiarelli to help him catch the dog and bring it in.

But, when the two found the dog, it didn’t take them long to realize that it was actually a wolf-hybrid!

She was later named Julia. Julia walked up to a house and into the yard.

There was a fence, and Lisa closed the gate, so at least Julia was contained. The old rope around Julia’s neck told Eldad and Lisa that she had been a pet at some point.

But, it was clear that Julia’s previous owners had neglected her to a criminal level.
