When Hope For Paws was contacted about Edna, a starving dog living alone in the mountains, the team had no idea what a strange story was about to unfurl before them.
According to the information they had, animal control had attempted to capture the dog several times already to no avail. When the rescuers found and approached the dog with some tasty food, she let them get close and ate right from the rescuer’s hand. She was nervous, but, fortunately, trusted the people who came to help her and even let them pet her – she was very, very happy to be able to finally have something to eat. The team succeeded in catching her and with the help of a neighbor, brought the poor skinny pup right to safety. Once off the streets, the dog got her new name: Edna.
She was very malnourished and suffered from alopecia, a hair-loss condition. At the vet, it turned out that she had a microchip. After making a call, the rescuers discovered that Edna’s previous caregiver had given her away and was told by the next carer that the dog had been hit by a car. It turned out that the person believed she was dead for two years! The rescuers assured her Edna was very much alive – but the old caregiver did not want her back and asked the rescue to find her a new home.
Edna was moved to a foster home where she met many dog friends. After a few weeks, Edna was already in her new forever home! Now, she has all the love she so severely lacked in the past – and all the food and treats, too.
