Rescuers, from Hope For Paws, found a poor pup hiding between the two buildings.

Fortunately, this story has a happy ending. Rufus managed to find his forever home, but this is not always the case. Therefore, we must do everything in our power to help abandoned animals find the homes they deserve.
There are a large number of abandoned dogs on the streets that need homes; this is why it is always better to adopt a dog than to buy one. If you want to add a furry friend to your family, Hope For Paws can help you.
