For Amos the cocker spaniel, life was rough. He had been living on the streets of Los Angeles for who knows how long, starving and afraid of anyone who tried to approach him. But luckily for him, help wasn’t far. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBP_ATF’); }); When a homeowner called Hope For Paws and told volunteers that there had been a homeless dog living under the house next door for the last month, they drove there immediately and found him. Terrified, he refused to come any closer — but all they needed was a tasty cheeseburger and they were able to get him on the path to a better life. He is such a sweetheart at the end! Here’s hoping that Amos finds a home filled with love and endless belly rubs. If you’d like to help this wonderful organization save more lives, you can donate here.
