1. This is Rasta. When this poor fellow was found in the streets of Montreal, he looked so filthy that it was hard to tell if he was actually a dog. He could barely move underneath all his matted hair. But look how charming he seems after his cleanup.
2. Meet Dozer. He was shot, and was not given immediate medical attention. But after two months of hospitalization and many surgeries, he has recovered and is now living a wonderful life being adopted by one of the vets who cared for him.
3. And this is Miley. Her story is that she was found living in a trash pile, severely injured and barely able to walk. Oh the cruelty of existence. But after being adopted, Miley is now happy and healthy, living in a new home with her new family.
4. Meet Theo. Maybe he was loved by his previous owners, but Theo was left to live on the streets by them when they moved away. He spent about a year roaming around the streets until Hope For Paws came to rescue him. You can see the joy in his eyes!
5. This is Little Betty. Just like Theo, she too was abandoned by her owners. Once ashamed by her appearance, Little Betty is now ready for a new home.
6. Meet Woody. He was dumped on the streets after his owner passed away. He hid for months and wouldn't let anyone near him. The rescuers soon realised that the dog was blind in one eye. Despite his fear, he surrendered to the rescuers' gentle touch.
7. A miniature pure-bred poodle, Treasure was terribly neglected. She was discovered by someone driving by. Because of her matted, thick, and dirty hair, she couldn't even walk anymore, until a visit to the vet made the beautiful Treasure emerge again.
8. This is Red. He was found cowering and shaking uncontrollably in a shelter cage. He was obese and unable to stand or sit comfortably. But after weeks of help from the TAF, Red met the perfect new mom and got his happily ever after.
9. Shrek was found with legs covered in sores and fur caked with mud. After his excess hair was removed and his wounds were cared for, he was discovered to be a 6-year-old malti-poo dog that had been raised at a puppy mill. Shrek now has a loving home.
10. This is Cedar, named after the Golf Course close to where he was waiting to be picked-up by someone. He was hairless from stress, with bones poking through his skin. Since then, Cedar has found a great home with good care, where he fits right in.
11. Found barely alive in Mexico with a horrible eye infection, Iggy's story was shared by someone on Facebook. People were touched and donated money to transport him into the U.S. and treat his injury. Now all Iggy wants is to run around and play with everyone.
