Another victory for the Hope for Paws lucky leash! When the wonderful team at Hope for Paws was alerted about a senior dog roaming the streets, Lisa Arturo and Joann Wiltz grabbed a lucky leash and were on their way. The sweet old boy was reportedly abandoned after his family moved away and left him. The neighbors that had been feeding him (for over a year!), pointed them to his usual location.
Once Lisa and Joann arrived on the scene, they first tried using food to lure him into a kennel trap. Of course, he was way too smart for that! With patience, kindness, and food, no doubt, Lisa was able to earn his trust and place the lucky leash around him. The team headed back to Hope for Paws with adorable Pumba in tow.
Pumba was quick to receive the newfound affection and care that surrounded him! He continued to do so in his foster and forever home!
Please remember that adopting a dog is a serious commitment and that senior dogs also make fabulous pets. They are chill, loyal, and oftentimes are already housetrained and socialized. If you or someone you know are considering adopting a pet don’t count senior dogs out!

He looks like a very sweet guy. I lost my lab last yr due to old age. I miss him so much. I have another dog and I am lucky we found him abandoned beside a canal when he was a pup. We also have a cat that was tossed under an overpass with his brothers and sisters. The humane society picked up most of them but he got away and we found him. If I could I would have a lot more animals but as a senior myself, I need to think about what will happen when I am gone. I am so thankful that there are people who have kind hearts and feed those that get abandoned. These fur kids are very loyal and they don\’t understand being left behind. If people only realized that these pets are so heart broken when abandoned like that. It\’s so cruel. Find them a home, please.
thank you to the neighbors for at least feeding this dog…so sad. The dog did nothing and the family ups and leave…how did they think this dog would get by??? So cruel and evil…I hope they have the worst luck in the world!! creeps is what they are! Thank you for rescuing this baby..he has a safe loving foster home…please…adopt if you can…spread the word…angels for helping him ..so glad he is off the street.
There is a special place in heaven for people who open their hearts to save animals. God Bless You!!!
