Recently, Hope for Paws (a non-profit animal rescue) received word of a dog who’d been abandoned on the streets with nothing. JoAnn and Katie set out to help. When they arrived on scene they saw the Chihuahua sitting on the side of the road next to a torn-up cardboard box waiting for its only human friends. The pup didn’t trust anyone—with the exception of people that had food.

JoAnn pulled out her cheeseburger and lured the girl over to her. She then set up an easy noose trap to secure the little dog for good. After speaking with one of the neighbors who had been feeding the dog for a week, they found out he’d named it Frijoles!

The rescue team was able to take her to the nearest animal hospital to be cleaned up and get a full medical checkup.

She Thought He Was Another Abuse Case, But His Microchip Scan “Freaked Her Out”:

 

It was an unlikely sight for shelter workers when they found a beautiful purebred Husky named Nate roaming the streets like a stray. However, it was soon established that Nate was very different from other homeless dogs. His hollow and haunted eyes clearly spoke of a disturbing past, and he was extremely skittish and shut himself down. Please meet Nate, this is his story!

When the workers scanned Nate for a microchip, his behavior finally made sense. The poor guy was registered under a laboratory and had been subjected to the most brutal testing procedures for months on end.

What’s worse was that the irresponsible lab remorselessly dumped him on the streets because they didn’t want to deal with his “psychologically disturbed” state. The shelter reached out to the workers of Beagle Freedom Project, who had experience with animal testing victims before.

Together, they found a foster mom who was ready to embrace Nate with all his scars. She made an intense rehab plan and worked with him for months to drive away his trauma. Toward the end of his video, we see Nate smiling brightly as he’s finally ready for his forever home.

He may look like a “normal dog” now, but his foster mom believes that he will always be a special warrior to her. Every year, thousands of animals suffer and rot in labs in the name of human greed. It’s about time we stand up for lab test victims and raise our voices against the inhumane treatment of these animals.
