00:00This husky's family was taken by ice, and he hasn't stopped crying in front of their house.
00:06He has no idea where they went. When neighbors became aware of this heartbreaking situation,
00:11they tried to get him to safety, but he was extremely suspicious and would evade his rescuers
00:15every time. A coalition of neighborhood rescuers looked for him every night,
00:20until one night they saw him moving around with a friend.
00:22They're literally just roaming around together. He's got his buddy.
00:27They were spotted together several times, but rescuers couldn't get a hold of either of them.
00:35The pity was incredibly friendly, but she refused to leave her husky friend.
00:42Oh, hey, how are you? Oh, this one's being nice to me. Hey, how are you? What a good doggie,
00:49huh?
00:50Boy.
00:52The rescuers didn't want to get too aggressive in trying to grab both dogs for fear of the husky running
00:57away
00:57and never coming close to them again.
01:00Yeah, it's okay. All right. Bye-bye.
01:04But after several nights, they couldn't leave the pity on the streets anymore and leashed her up.
01:08While her new life was just starting, this left the husky all alone.
01:12They called Kathy Perez, a professional dog rescuer for backup.
01:16See, flashlights and people running around in the street and chasing the dog is not helping the situation.
01:21This is all chaos. She's like, this is not helping to get the dog.
01:24No, it's not.
01:25Yeah.
01:25With Kathy's guidance, they set up traps for the husky.
01:28And it worked. Kathy was able to trap him and he was officially safe after weeks of rescue efforts.
01:33Baby, it's okay, peppers. It's okay.
01:37The first thing they did was take the husky to the vet and reunite him with his pity confidant.
01:42Baby boy. There we go. Look at that, sweetheart.
01:46Hi, sweetheart.
01:48It's okay, little boy.
01:49But they didn't have anywhere to take the pups.
01:51They were contacting many rescues who were already full.
01:55He's very scared. I can just pick him up.
01:57I can pick him up and get him to the car.
01:59Until Stacey Hope Rescue agreed to take them in.
02:02Look at that.
02:03Oh my God. Thank goodness.
02:05Well, look at that. You're going to get somewhere to go, aren't we?
02:08There'll be nothing without her.
02:09It's a whole team to get these dogs off the street.
02:12And I appreciate everybody's help.
02:14Stacey Hope also got Angel, the husky, a spot in a training program with Redemption Tales,
02:19since he was still so scared of new people and situations that he couldn't walk.
02:23Don't chew that.
02:24Don't chew that.
02:26What a sweet fool you are.
02:28Nice to meet you. Hi.
02:29Angel arrived at Redemption Tales.
02:30He's very small. He's like 38 pounds or something, you know?
02:33Okay.
02:33He's a little baby.
02:34And got straight to work.
02:36Oh, honey.
02:37He's a husky. He won't leap over this thing.
02:39Sure.
02:40I got him.
02:42That's a good body.
02:43Oh.
02:43And then he'll chew that leaf.
02:45Oh my goodness.
02:46Oh, yeah.
02:47Come right over that, right there.
02:49So, yeah.
02:50He's planning to stay full.
02:53He can take it away because that never happened again.
02:58He's not as shut down as I thought.
03:00I have dogs that come like just like completely shut down.
03:03Well, you know what?
03:04So he's processing.
03:05So he was like that.
03:06Oh, yeah.
03:06I saw it.
03:07Yeah, I saw it.
03:07He's gotten better, you know?
03:09And I'm going to take my time.
03:10If I have to take an hour, I'll take an hour.
03:12We just have to be very patient and just nudging him on.
03:15This little house.
03:16Wow.
03:17Look at this.
03:18Oh, fuck.
03:20Beautiful room you got.
03:22Oh, you got a bacon.
03:23Come on, buddy.
03:23Good boy.
03:24Let's go.
03:26Good boy.
03:27On the second day, he was already walking a tiny bit on a leash to go outside.
03:34Good boy.
03:36Come.
03:38Good boy.
03:43On the third day, he was meeting new dogs and moving a bit by himself outside.
03:47Oh, he's moving around.
03:55And then he was walking straight to the backyard on his own accord.
03:59Oh, here he comes.
04:01Hey, Angel, you want to come hang out?
04:04Hi, buddy.
04:05And finally, he was making real friends.
04:08Who is wagging the tail right there?
04:10Look at that.
04:10Is that Angel?
04:11Gaining real confidence in himself and his surroundings.
04:14Look at that dog moving around.
04:17Stretching.
04:19Look at that.
04:20Look at that.
04:21He still has confidence to build and his heart is still healing from when his family was taken from him.
04:26However, he and Hope the Pity are still looking for fosters or adopters and would even love to be rescued
04:31together.
04:32They are both wonderful dogs who deserve a beautiful second chance at life.
04:36Look at it.
04:37Look at that.
04:40Look at that.
04:40Look at that dog moving around.
