Rescue Dog Is Given One More Chance and Slowly Learns to Trust

Chase, a neglected dog, was subjected to the most unspeakable atrocities for 3 years. Her time was spent in solitude with brief moments of tender moments from her human companion. Over time she became increasingly anxious and her mental health ebbed with no hopes for a comeback. However, we love happy endings and that’s what you’re in for with this story.  Please meet Chase, this is his story!

 

Image/Story Source Credit: Hope For Paws / YouTube Video Story

In a more modern society, some abused dogs have a guaranteed chance for rehabilitation. Chase had been on death row at a crowded shelter until she was saved by an angel. An animal rescuer named Eldad entered the shelter just when Chase was waiting for her turn at the euthanasia table.

Image/Story Source Credit: Hope For Paws / YouTube Video Story

In this video, we see Chase’s tail tucked and ears pinned back in a deep kennel. Eldad reaches his hand out, but Chase is hesitant. Chase bares her teeth and tries to scare him off before he “hurts” her. Just like she learned from her origins with her ex-owner. Her only defense mechanism was to bite the hand before it hurt her.

Image/Story Source Credit: Hope For Paws / YouTube Video Story

Eldad was able to see right through Chase’s defenses and decided to approach her again. He had a very calm presence which appeared to work wonders with Chase and let him place a leash around her. Once he placed the leash around Chase, she simply melted in her new savior’s arms as he successfully pulled her off the kill list and whisked her away.
