To adopt Zoe and Meadow, please contact our friends from Shelter Hope Pet Shop who are now fostering them: http://www.ShelterHopePetShop.org
Hope For Paws was contacted by Vanessa Rosales about a scared dog who kept running away every time anyone approached her. The dog would always run into an enclosed property, and I asked Vanessa not to trespass and let us handle it.
When Lisa Chiarelli and I arrived, construction workers allowed us onto the property, and I highly doubted I would find her there because they were working and it was quite noisy.
To my surprise I spotted the dog (Zoe) and to my surprise I also found a puppy (Vanessa said it's possible she had puppies recently, but she couldn't confirm that because she had never seen puppies).
Lisa and I approached slowly, and I just knew that Zoe wouldn't leave her baby - Meadow.
We asked the construction workers where are the other puppies (it's unusual for a dog to just have one puppy), and they told us that 4 days prior to our arrival, kids had stolen the other 5 puppies. We asked if they knew where we could find these kids, but they had no idea.
Lisa and I sat with Zoe and Meadow for 30 minutes, gained their trust, and together we continued to the hospital for medical treatment.
A couple of days later, Zoe and Meadow continued to their foster home with Shelter Hope Pet Shop and they are now ready to be adopted :-)
Please share their rescue story on your favorite social media network so we can find them amazing homes.
Thanks :-)

- Is seafood on the menu tonight? Well, there’s a chance it might have been
caught by a slave. That’s what the Associated Press uncovered when reporters
traveled to the remote island of Benjina, Indonesia. They found workers trapped
in cages, whipped with toxic stingray tails for punishment, and forced to work
22 hours a day for almost no compensation. We speak to two of the Associated
Press reporters who broke this remarkable story, Robin McDowell and Martha
Mendoza. We caught up with them last week in Los Angeles just before they headed
to the University of Southern California to receive the 2016 Selden Ring Award
for Investigative Reporting for this remarkable series.

- More than 900 people have been arrested over the past week on Capitol Hill in
a series of unprecedented protests against the influence of big money and
corporate lobbying in politics. More civil disobedience is scheduled for today.
The arrests began last Monday during an event organized as part of a wave of
actions dubbed Democracy Spring. Another protest began on Saturday under the
banner of Democracy Awakening. We speak to one of the key organizers of
Democracy Awakening, the Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina
chapter of the NAACP.

The
beautiful pale buzzard that was found after being hit by a car on the M25 slip
road near Heathrow Airport, has now been with us for a number of weeks. After
its life-saving surgery by avian specialist Neil Forbes, it quickly went from
strength to strength. It wasn't long before the pins and external fixator could
be removed and it could get back to a life in the wild!
