People Were Afraid Of Her Because She Looks Like A Wolf, Her Transformation Will Blow You Away!
Prepare to be moved by the incredible transformation of Julia, the wolf-hybrid rescued by the amazing team at Hope For Paws.
Eldad Hagar and his team headed to a neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles and spotted what they thought was a dog in need of rescue. However, as they drew closer, they realized she was not just any ordinary pup. In fact, they suspected she might be a wolf-hybrid.
The poor creature, later named Julia, had been tied up with an old rope, neglected, and left to suffer. She was swollen from infections, bleeding, and covered in pus. Her coat concealed her skeletal frame, and she was just skin and bones.
“Usually we rescue dogs, but this time, I am pretty sure that we rescued a wolf-hybrid!!”
Thankfully, Lisa, a member of the Hope For Paws team, approached Julia with treats, gaining her trust slowly but surely. Julia was so hungry and malnourished that she ate the treats gently, despite her discomfort.
With a lucky red leash, Eldad and Lisa tried to convince Julia to follow them to their car, where she would receive the medical attention she so desperately needed. Julia was hesitant at first, but they encouraged her, assuring her that her life was about to get better.
“Even though Julia was so skinny and starved, she took food so gently.”
Upon arriving at the clinic, it was discovered that Julia had Demodectic Mange. Her paws were swollen, and her nails were long, causing her significant discomfort. She needed a medicated bath to remove the scabs and begin the healing process.
“Julia’s paws were so swollen, her nails were so long… so much discomfort, but it was all about to change.”
The bath was a painful but necessary step, and as the scabs broke down, Julia started bleeding from everywhere. But despite this, she showed signs of happiness and relief when she rested her head on Lisa. Her rescuers had finally gained her trust.
After a week of medical treatment, Julia was ready for a foster home. She could finally live the life she deserved, and her true colors began to show. She wagged her tail and even smiled like a puppy.
The most beautiful part of this story is that Julia has now found her forever home. She will never again have to worry about going hungry or being left alone on the streets.
Hope For Paws has done an incredible job of rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need, and Julia’s story is a shining example of their dedication and compassion.
Watch the video of her rescue and transformation, and be prepared to be moved to tears.

10 Common Dog Health Problems
Some health problems are specific to certain breeds, such as breathing complications for flat-faced dogs. But several other canine health issues can affect any dog. Here are 10 typical health conditions you need to watch out for in your four-legged best friend:
Top 10 Common Dog Health Problems
Skin Problems
One of the most obvious signs that your dog has a skin condition is itching. Other symptoms that may suggest that your dog has a skin problem include rashes, redness, dry skin, lumps, bumps, skin sores, dandruff, and hair loss.
Ear Diseases
Approximately 20 percent of dogs suffer from ear disease. It’s particularly common in breeds with floppy ears like cocker spaniels and basset hounds. It’s common to see wax buildup or discharge in their ear canal. But others may experience pain, itchiness, redness, swelling, and crusting in the ears.
Urinary Tract Infections
Simply known as UTI, this condition can make it uncomfortable for your beloved companion to pass urine. Signs of urinary tract infection include drinking water more than usual and passing urine more often than usual. Your dog may also only pass a small amount or lose bladder control. Additionally, you may see blood in their urine or notice a strong smell to it.
Vomiting
There are countless reasons why your pet may throw up. You don’t need to visit the vet each time your dog vomits. But it’s also not something you can just ignore. Don’t try to guess. If the vomiting persists or occurs with other symptoms like diarrhea or lethargy, you need to rush to the vet. It could be a sign of severe health problems, such as poisoning or gastrointestinal blockage.
Diarrhea
This symptom may occur on its own or be accompanied by vomiting. Its potential causes are similar to vomiting. One or two episodes of diarrhea may not be a pet emergency. But recurring diarrhea can result in dehydration.
Parasites
At some point in their lives, your pet may have to deal with discomfort due to internal or external parasites. Symptoms of parasites generally vary, depending on a few factors. These include the kind of parasite that has plagued your pet, where it lives, and how severe its infestation is.
Dental Issues
Like us, your dog can develop canine dental diseases due to high levels of plaque buildup. Several signs indicate that your pet may have dental disease. These include difficulty eating, bleeding of the gums or teeth, loose teeth, and bad breath.
Obesity
Nearly 30 percent of the general dog population is considered obese. Several factors contribute to a pet’s risk. These include age, genetic predisposition, lack of exercise, and overfeeding, among others.
Arthritis
This joint problem can restrict your dog’s mobility. Bring Fido to the vet if you see your dog slow down or limp before and after walks. Other signs include licking or chewing on tender areas and behavioral changes.
Poisoning
Symptoms of dog poisoning vary widely, depending on the kind of toxin a pet has been exposed to. The signs can range from vomiting to drooling, breathing difficulties, seizures, or worse, coma. Some of the most common poisonous substances are human foods like chocolates, grapes, raisins, onions, and caffeine. Other known culprits are human medications, household cleaning products, pesticides, and some plants.
