Gladys, the guide dog

Meet Gladys, a six-month-old puppy who will become a guide dog for the blind in South Africa. She needs your URGENT HELP if she is to fulfill her destiny. While most of us see dogs as loving and faithful companions, some dogs go one step further and save lives. Gladys is one of those extra-special dogs. The challenge is that because of the economic meltdown in South Africa caused by the corona crisis, the South African Guide-Dogs Association is desperately short of funds. Corona has had a severe effect on donations because people are suddenly poorer. Gladys needs medical treatment that is straining the ability of the Guide-Dogs Association to pay. If we can raise $6,000 (£4,600), not only can we pay for the physiotherapy Gladys needs, we can pay for the completion of her two-year-long training so she can give a blind person a new life as quickly as possible.

The challenge is that because of the economic meltdown in South Africa caused by the corona crisis, the South African Guide-Dogs Association is desperately short of funds. Corona has had a severe effect on donations because people are suddenly poorer. Gladys needs medical treatment that is straining the ability of the Guide-Dogs Association to pay.

Not every dog is suitable to take on the task of helping a blind person and so the South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind has a responsible breeding program, using sperm from US guide-dog organizations.

Glady’s was born in the program and underwent extensive medical exams. During a check-up, it was discovered that Gladys has a potential problem with an elbow joint. If treated immediately, it can be fixed - if not, Gladys will never become someone’s life-changing companion. The vet bill for this care is astronomical and Gladys will still need extensive physiotherapy to ensure that she makes a full recovery.

Orangutan Kartini

Orangutan Kartini arrived at the forest school as an afraid and fragile orphan. But today she is one of the most independent orangutans at our ORANGUTAN FOREST SCHOOL in Borneo

His homeless owner disappeared one day and he didn't trust anyone!!!

Garfield spent his days at the park, alone and confused because he didn't know where did his owner disappear. Luckily, we got a call on the #HopeForPaws emergency line. Loreta Frankonyte and I headed out, and after a long search for him, one of the construction workers who have been feeding him pointed me in his direction. At the point I was alone, so I waited for Loreta to meet up with me. The plan was for her to close the gate in the far end of that dead-end street, and I would cover the width of the street with my snappy snare.

Staff at our Vietnam bear sanctuary perform first ‘in-house’ root canal surgery on Rae!

Following training from dental specialist Dr Cedric Tutt, Senior Vet Surgeon Shaun Thomson performed the first 'in-house' root canal surgery at the Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre. Bear Rae’s tooth has been filled and now she is loving life (and lunch) again!

Mom protects babies with her body after one was stolen!!!

Just when you will think this rescue is over, you will find out that it's NOT! Mama Jade knew something was wrong, but she didn't know how to tell me that someone stole one of her babies!!! This one will require watching until the end. Life is so hard for homeless animals, and when puppies are added to the equation, it's just a nightmare! This story could have ended terribly in so many ways, but because Stephanie Brooks (who was visiting from New Jersey) knew to call Hope For Paws, this story has an incredible ending.

Desperate kitten screaming for his family to save his life!

Sadly, his family was nowhere to be found, so Hope For Paws got the call for help! https://www.HopeForPaws.org We love doing this work and we don't care how late or how early it is... we just need your support with covering their medical needs, and together we can change the world of so many animals! Oscar, Jacky, Ramon - Thank you so much for joining me on this rescue! It is always cool to meet people who care and love animals. Oscar and Jacky own a Taco Truck called "Tacos De Birria De Res" so if you drive in Los Angeles and see them, make sure to stop and get some tacos! If you can't find them, text them: 213-884-6666 Ramon Livingston is a lawyer and he helps (and fosters) many cats! Our friends at Kitty Bungalow are now fostering Taco, so if you would like to adopt him, please contact them directly: https://www.KittyBungalow.org

Seven recently rescued bears

Happy #MoonBearMonday. What better way to celebrate the beginning of a new week than an update on seven recently rescued bears who are integrating into their new bear houses? Clara tells us all about how Florence, Valerie, Tuan, James, Alice and Bân are settling in.

Cantik and friends

Orangutan Cantik is one of the smartest orangutans at our ORANGUTAN FOREST SCHOOL in Borneo and she has become a good teacher for the other orphans!

Rescue of a senior dog by the freeway could have gone horribly wrong!

Max could have ran in any direction he wanted, but he knew that the chance of dying that day was real!

https://www.HopeForPaws.org

I am so grateful to Danhy Drago for texting me about this rescue, for finding the exact location (it wasn't simple), and for joining me on this mission. It was cute to see a text reading "If anyone can rescue this dog, that's you"

Leo and Melanka

Leo and Melanka still need your help! We’ve been fighting for months to relocate the two President bears, as soon as the coronavirus measures allow it and we would get the official green light. Now we really have reason to hope to rescue them very soon! At BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr, Leo, as well as Melanka, will receive the care and support they so desperately deserve. To achieve this, we continue to need your support. Together we can make a difference and give Leo and Melanka a new, prosperous life

Donkey Puica and ram Nhan

As you might remember Puica the donkey and Nhan the ram, were both rescued from different situations: Beautiful donkey Puica was found abandoned in a field about 60 km from Bucharest. She was unable to stand, lying alone on the ground and left in pain. Fortunately, our local partner ARCA was able to rescue her just in time.

Last year a cargo ship transporting 14,000 sheep, including Nhan, capsized. Luckily we managed to save 180 incredibly lucky sheep, together with ARCA, from the wreckage. Both rescued animals had to undergo surgery.

Now they are recovering in each other's company. As you can see, they are enjoying their new natural and safe environment and are looking better day by day! We are so happy for them.

South Bay Wildlife Rehab - Young bird of prey crashes into a window and then goes down to the ground!

This is our first Bird Of Prey rescue video and I am so happy I got to be there for the rescue, visit her during the rehabilitation, and all the way to the releasing back to the wild! The American kestrel is the smallest and most common falcon in North America and I actually never got to meet one until that day - I didn't even know what she was, but our friends on Instagram knew to help me out with that: https://www.instagram.com/hopeforpaws... I am so happy that one of our supporters sent us the special gloves for handling birds of prey... it's like they knew I would need those one day :-) To join our team with a small donation, please visit our website: https://www.HopeForPaws.org Special thanks to South Bay Wildlife Rehab for fostering this baby, for training her on how to survive in the wild, and for inviting me to visit every step of the way.

Capone Will Never Spend Another Minute Trapped in a Filthy Cage

Capone spent his days either imprisoned in a tiny wire cage or tethered to a filth-covered porch. Until finally, his owners gave him to PETA. Watching him “dance” and enjoy life will make your heart sing!

Lion Rescued From Jeff Lowe Can Barely Walk

Juvenile lion, Nala, whom PETA rescued on September 21, 2020, from Jeff Lowe, operator of the now-defunct Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, is so lame she can barely walk. Visit PETA.org for more information.

An easy rescue turns to be an emergency rescue - the end is not what you would expect.

We were not ready for a rescue that day... we were on our way home when one call after another to the #HopeForPaws line changed the whole evening. I am glad Loreta Frankonyte and I happened to be in the area so we could respond as quickly and rush from one location to another. We had to pay a lot of money to the emergency hospital for Catalina's surgery and we have so many cases like this every week. If you can, please take 2 minutes to set up a $5 monthly donation. If many of you will participate, the Hope For Paws team will be able to keep going at full speed and help prevent pain and suffering: https://www.HopeForPaws.org As a thank you for your support, we have a gift for you that is worth quite a lot of money and will give you peace of mind.

Volunteer with the Animal Rescue Team

One of the most commonly asked questions for our Animal Rescue Team is, “How can I volunteer?” Our team has—and relies on—a strong network of volunteers to help us make a real difference for animals in rescue and disaster relief work. We truly depend on them to help us get this important, lifesaving work done.

One of the most common mistakes prospective volunteers make is waiting until a natural or man-made disaster strikes to begin the application process and to begin proper training and preparation for becoming an Animal Rescue Team volunteer. Unfortunately, by then, it’s too late. If you want to volunteer, it’s important to apply before a disaster. If you get everything done early, you, like our many other volunteers, will be ready to deploy when animals need our help.

I can’t speak enough to the impact people feel from saving animals in need. If you want to make a difference, this is a way to do it. I encourage you to start your application today. With hurricane season on the horizon, our team will be ready to deploy at a moment’s notice - The Humane Society of the United States

Emergency Bear Rescue from an Illegal Farm in Tam Duong

Tuan the bear becomes 210th bear rescued by Animals Asia in Vietnam. Brave, bear, Tuan spent 15 miserable years locked in a cage. As a result, he is deeply traumatised.

A rescue really is just the beginning. Now that he is safe at our Vietnam sanctuary, the hard work to repair this broken bear begins.

Please, can you help care for this gentle giant with a donation today? http://bit.ly/TuanBearRescue#TuanBearRescue Music: Pain of Loss: www.chanwalrus.com.

Strong winds fell trees at Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre

Last Sunday a strong storm blew down trees at the Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre. Fortunately none of the bears or our staff were hurt, but damage was caused to two of our bear houses. The maintenance team did a great job of clearing the damage and the bear care team provided extra enrichment for the bears who were kept in their dens temporarily while the mess was cleared away and the enclosures made safe.

Moon bear Tuan returns from his operation.

Moon bear Tuan is back in the enclosure with his best friend Valerie after a month in the hospital recovering from a cholecystectomy operation to remove his infected gallbladder. #MoonBearMonday

Thanks to our supporters, we raised enough money to rescue four doomed ponies and are paying for food and medical care for them.

They are now safe at the HUGS Foundation in Bodmin, England.

The badly abused ponies were abandoned in Surrey, 200 miles (360 kilometers) from HUGS, but the rescuers could not look after them. They approached HUGS, HUGS approached us, we asked for your help and you responded.

One of the ponies is already receiving urgent medical treatment for what appears to be injuries after being struck by a moving vehicle. The poor thing’s wounds were oozing puss, but thanks to the HUGS medical team, he’s going to be fine. Mission accomplished…

…BUT, these ponies who will help vulnerable children need long-term care.

HUGS already looks after 40 horses and ponies – most rescued from cruel situations or heartlessly abandoned. These animals are also in danger because the good people at HUGS are struggling to feed and care for them. Many of the ponies are used to help vulnerable children. Contact with the ponies helps the children’s emotional and mental health, providing long-term benefits.

The ponies you helped save will one day, bring vulnerable children such joy. Thank you again – your donation ensures the ponies will live in safety and repay your generosity by helping children in need.

In this time of the corona crisis, we are flooded with requests for help from around the world. We are doing our best to help everywhere we can. We know that any minute now, we will open our email and find many more requests to help animals caught up in the corona crisis.

LIONSROCK feeding day

Today we take you behind the scenes and show you the nitty gritty of feeding day at our LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary.

Turkey’s Interior Ministry recently issued a letter urging local administrations to protect and feed the country’s hundreds of thousands of stray dogs and cats, as residents stay at home to contain the spread of coronavirus.

“Food and water will be left at the living environments of street animals, such as parks and gardens, and particularly animal shelters,” the ministry wrote in the notice. “All necessary measures must be taken to ensure stray animals don’t go hungry.”

Turkish society has a strong cultural emphasis on caring for animals in need. Municipal veterinarians vaccinate strays, and citizens help ensure their safety as part of everyday life. New stay-at-home orders and social distancing policies are heavily impacting these animals, who normally rely on the general public for nourishment, especially in Istanbul where there are over 150,00 stray cats and nearly 130,000 stray dogs, according to the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.

As cases of COVID-19 rise in Turkey, the government is considering imposing heightened restrictions on movement, but thankfully, lockdown efforts seem to be coupled with ways to mitigate the suffering of homeless animals throughout the country.

The decision requiring local leaders to care for strays is being well-received.

In a recent Tweet emphasizing the importance of caring for local cats and dogs, Istanbul’s Bayrampasa district shared pictures of its municipal workers feeding and interacting with the animals.

Thank you to the dedicated officials, workers and activists throughout the world, who are acting diligently to ensure that the most vulnerable populations are not forgotten during this chaotic and trying time.

A captivating video of a one-eyed bull terrier mix reveals that her trust and desire for human love was far from destroyed when she suffered a horrendous attack.

Homeless dog told us to leave her alone or she WILL BITE!!!

Maddy told me and Loreta to leave her alone, but we didn't listen!!! This was seriously dangerous and the result is something you'll just have to see for yourself:

https://www.HopeForPaws.org We try to post more blogs these days, so please check those out as well: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/Blog

This rescue kind of reminded me of this #HopeForPaws rescue video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bww3n...

Thank you so much for helping us by sharing videos from the @Hope For Paws - Official Rescue Channel - it really helps us out!

During this #COVID19 mess, please stay home, stay safe and stay healthy.

We are already working on the next video... the next one is of a wild animal.

Let's see if you can guess what it is (there is a hint in one of our blogs).

Moon Bears, Conservative Extremists to Federal Courts, Coronavirus Capitalism, Prisoners, Sunset TV

“Coronavirus Capitalism”: Naomi Klein’s Case for Transformative Change Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

Author, activist and journalist Naomi Klein says the coronavirus crisis, like earlier ones, could be a catalyst to shower aid on the wealthiest interests in society, including those most responsible for our current vulnerabilities, while offering next to nothing to most workers and small businesses. In 2007, Klein wrote “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.” Now she argues President Trump’s plan is a pandemic shock doctrine. In a new video for The Intercept, where she is a senior correspondent, Klein argues it’s vital for people to fight for the kind of transformative change that can not only curb the worst effects of the current crisis but also set society on a more just path.

These two moon bear friends are enjoying sharing a hammock and playing with bits of bamboo at our bear rescue centre in Vietnam. Happy #MoonBearMonday!

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor: COVID-19 shows "we are as safe as the least insured person"

Democratic primary rivals former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders took to the debate stage Sunday to an empty audience in their first one-on-one face-off amid escalating tensions over the COVID-19 pandemic.

The two clashed on their solution to the COVID-19 crisis, Medicare for All, the climate emergency, Joe Biden’s voting record and whether or not the U.S. needs a political revolution. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor says that more than anything, COVID-19 provides a clear argument for the necessity of Medicare For All, and makes a strong case for a Bernie Sanders presidency.

"What Sanders said over the weekend, that we are as safe as the least insured person, has never made more sense than it does in this moment," she says. "We have to ask as a society, are we going to use this opportunity or use this moment to actually implement fundamental change, or are we going to continue to kick the can down the road and act as if there is some normal to get back to?"

Tips on hand-washing don't "lift the anxiety" for prisoners across the U.S. worried about COVID-19

Visits to federal prisons and most state prisons in the U.S. have been shut down in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which poses a growing threat to the 2.3 million people locked up in prisons and jails across the country.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, where the local government has implemented one of the most severe responses in the U.S. to halt the spread of COVID-19, the San Quentin State Prison has put two prison blocks under partial quarantine.

Juan Moreno Haines, an award-winning journalist who has been imprisoned in San Quentin since 2006, says the prison has also posted signs about proper hand-washing technique and information about how the disease is spread.

"But that doesn't lift the anxiety level," Haines says. "My personal opinion is that it's not a matter of if it's going to happen, it's when it's going to happen."

How Republicans are packing federal courts with conservative extremists

Amid headlines flooded with COVID-19 updates, The New York Times released a report detailing how Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been personally asking veteran conservative judges to retire so that President Trump can fill the vacancies before the next election.

"Two-thirds of the appellate judges that have been confirmed in the Trump administration are white men — many of them carrying very extreme views against gay marriage, trying to undermine voting protections and voting rights in this country," says Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and former head of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice during the Obama years.

"They're very young. These people will serve in these positions for a lifetime. Even as we are grappling with the enormous democracy burdens that the pandemic is causing us, let's not lose sight of what's happening to our federal courts."

The Fashion Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know These Facts About Cashmere

Do you know the effects cashmere has on the environment? It's estimated that 70% of Mongolia’s grasslands have degraded largely because of the demand for it. Desertification like this can cause dust storms reaching all the way to the U.S.

Anyone who has ever felt or even thought of the pain of losing a loved one knows that there is nothing quite as excruciating. Every pet owner's nightmare is waking up and finding that his/her beloved one has been taken. Across Southeast Asia, this is a reality for millions of dogs and cats that get stolen and killed for the dog and cat meat trade.

Blind kitten sits in a parking lot and wonders how will she survive in this world.

Luckily for Kenshi, Hope For Paws got a call about her, and things turned around quickly once JoAnn Wiltz and Katie McKittrick arrived.

I really hope this will help convince you to join us with a small donation: https://www.HopeForPaws.org Two days after the rescue, the mom, dad and the two siblings were captured too. The mom and dad never had human contact, so Loreta Hernandez and Jessica Holguin got them spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and released. They are fed daily, and they are happy. It is important to understand that there are THREE MILLION feral cats in Los Angeles and it's a real challenge. The best we can do is to try and get as many as possible fixed. Kitten season is almost here, and it's just a nightmare to be born to these conditions and I feel so sad for the ones we never hear about.

If you would like to see a longer version that includes the surgical procedure, you can see it here: https://rumble.com/user/HopeForPaws - it's not for everybody...the surgery shows the removal of the eyes, but it really brings you closer to the things they have to deal with.

Kenshi was adopted to the most amazing home - you just have to see this kitten with the dogs at the end! Kung Lao and Raiden are still looking for a home, and if you would like to adopt them, please contact our friends at: https://www.KittyBungalow.org Thanks for sharing our videos with your friends who LOVE cats :-) Eldad
