It's hard to imagine these two sweet, friendly, lovable pups stuck out as strays in the bone chilling cold for several months before they were rescued. These girls were emaciated and desperate when our good friend Kathy, stumbled upon them. Doing what she could, Kathy fed them whenever they would come around and because they were desperate for food they relied on her kindness and compassion, eventually staying in the local area of Watts for good.
Kathy immediately posted and sent pleas for a reputable rescue to take the girls or for families that could temporarily house them, but it was to no avail. Fearing the worst, that the girls would be picked up to be used as fighting/bait dogs, or possibly even get shot by local gang members, Kathy showed up at all hours of the day for them trying to reassure them that she was there trying to gain their trust.
As the winter months grew more and more frigid, Kathy did what she could dropping off food and blankets in the enclosed area where they usually roamed about. She relayed to us one night a very heart wrenching scene as she had just left food for them. At this point, she had managed to gain enough of their trust and as she laid a kiss on each of their heads, the girls started to whimper because they didn't want her to leave. These girls needed off the streets right then and our rescue decided to take them in.
Both girls are approximately 14 to 16 months and are so incredibly loving. Hazel and Pearl survived the cruel streets together and are so highly bonded that they cry without each other. The pair are looking to be placed in a loving home with a family that will love them for the rest of their days.

Adopted pets can require some extra work, but they are more than worth it.
Even if I often need to remind myself of that when dealing with my mom's dog as she is terrified of me (and pretty much anybody who aren't my parents).
