Rescued during a storm ! (Video)

It’s not news that Hope For Paws rescue videos make us cry every time. But Eldad Hagar and his crew have truly outdone themselves this time: They drove 3.5 hours during the worst storm Southern California had seen in years because they had received a call about a stray pit bull who had just given birth. Upon arriving at the scene, the team searched through a dense brush to find the mama and puppies in need. It was completely dark when the group of rescuers arrived, and it was hard to locate Rainbow, the homeless pit bull, and her puppies at first, hiding somewhere in a patch of thick bushes.

When Rainbow had puppies, she tried desperately to protect them from life on the streets. But only 48 hours after giving birth, a huge rain storm struck California, and Rainbow and her puppies were immediately in danger. “For the past three months, neighbors had been trying to save her but she always ran away from them,” reads the video. “I broke through the thicket and crawled into her den.” Eventually, though, they found them all huddled up together deep in the bushes, Rainbow trying as hard as she could to keep her babies warm. What follows is a heart-wrenching scene of a terrified dog—and a brand new mom—learning to trust while still trying to protect her pups.

Learning to trust!

“This is a crazy, crazy situation,” Eldad Hagar, founder of Hope for Paws, said. She seemed to realize that she needed help. Hagar made some space and scooted through the bushes to reach Rainbow. She had plenty of room to run away, but instead, chose to face her fears and stay with her babies. Hagar spent some time getting to know Rainbow, feeding her and gaining her trust, before finally attempting to pick up the first baby. As soon as Hagar lifted Rainbow’s baby away from her, she had a surprising reaction! Watch their incredible adventure and the rescue in this full video. Her reaction will melt your heart!

She began licking the little puppy, as if she wanted to tell him it would be OK. One by one, Hagar pulled each puppy out from under Rainbow … and one by one, she kissed each one as she watched them go away.

Finally, when there was only one puppy left, Rainbow began to sit up, as if she knew that now that all her babies were safe, it was time for her to be rescued, too. Hagar gently pulled Rainbow out of the bushes, and loaded her into a cage so they could take her and her puppies out of the rain and away to safety.

As with all Hope For Paws videos, there’s a happy ending, and Rainbow and her puppies are all being cared for and will be available for adoption (when ready) through The Little Red Dog.
