When onlookers saw a small stray running around the streets of Los Angeles, they knew the pup needed help and called Hope For Paws rescue.
The Maltese/Jack Russell mix was dirty, hungry, and terrified of humans. Once rescuers saw him enter an abandoned property, they worked fast to block off the area so they could reach the pup and bring him to safety.
He was so scared, he kept running and hiding. Eventually, he got so tired, they were able to catch up with him as he cowered in an ivy-filled corner. (Poor baby!)
Watch the video below to see their clever strategizing, and best of all, an amazing transformation!
Just look at the change of his demeanor–he looks like a totally different dog! The pup, named Hendrix, is in foster care and is available for adoption.
