3-Legged Chihuahua Suffers In A Box Before One Text Message Changes Her Stars Forever

Eldad Hagar and Loreta Frankonyte of Hope for Paws do whatever they can to help four-legged friends in need.

While they’re always on the lookout for ways that they can help, they also rely on tips from concerned folks that hope to give suffering animals a fighting chance.

They recently received a random text message along those lines, and another adorable pup’s fortunes have been changed as a result.

Here’s what popped up on Eldad’s phone one day:

“Hello, just wondering if you could help this stray dog. It’s a three legged female.

She’s been living in front of this one house for that [sic] past five months. I thought she belonged to home owners but I asked and they said no.“

Eldad and Loreta would immediately take a trip to check it out, and the message was right on the money.

A beautiful chihuahua was found huddled and cowering in a beaten up old shoe box next to the house. It was just so heartbreaking!

The dog was a little startled to have some unexpected visitors, but she didn’t put up a fuss when the rescuers reached in to help her.

The rescuers named their new friend Princess, and they quickly took her to the vet to give her a once-over.

Princess was also given a much-needed bath, and she seemed to be quite pleased to be finally receiving the attention she deserves.

Don’t you think all animals should be treated with this much love and respect?

Unfortunately, the vet discovered that Princess was extremely anemic, so she wasn’t quite out of the woods.

She had to remain hospitalized for a few weeks, but she has since been released and is doing much better now!

And it didn’t take long for her to find more love and attention, either.

Princess was off to foster care with Smooch Pooch Dog Rescue from that point, but Hope for Paws wasn’t done making a difference for her just yet.

“I wanted to repost the rescue story of Princess in hopes that you will SHARE her story and help us find her a loving forever home,” wrote Hope For Paws on Facebook.

Several users have inquired about Princess already, and we’ll hold out hope that she finds a permanent home before too long.

How can you resist such an adorable face? 😀

Kudos to Hope for Paws for changing the life of Princess, as well as for all that they do on the rescue front!
