Owning a pet is a big responsibility…one that some people aren’t ready for. But despite there being tons of help and support out there, when certain pet owners become overwhelmed, they do the unthinkable — they abandon their dogs and cats on the streets.

Luckily for these three dogs, who were left in the hot Los Angeles sun with just a bag of bread, Hope For Paws was called. Watch what happens when they try to save the poor pups.

I don’t even want to think about what might have happened to Dee-Dee, Charlie, and Nessie had Hope For Paws not come along. If you’d like to help make more rescues like this one possible, head over to their website to donate!
