Cheeseburgers: the universal symbol of "you can trust me, I'm here to help".

That was amazing how Noelle patiently stood by as her fur cage was removed from her body. And kudos to the two ladies; they are professionals! No way could a person remove that fur safely without being a pro groomer. That cutie is going to be adopted quick.

The owner needs to be arrested and charged with animal abuse!

Thanks to the landlord who gave permission to remove the dog ! God Bless to all involved in the rescue and care of this dog !

Must feel so good for Noelle to lose all that matted fur.

It breaks my heart that animals are treated this way. Bad karma to the subhuman that caused this baby to suffer. Hope for Paws are true angels, Thank you for all you do ❤🐾 Happy Holidays from your monthly donor.

This really brought back memories for me. My family was transferred overseas and we found a dog running loose on the base that we thought had just 1 eye. After giving it a haircut & bath we discovered he did have both his eyes. He wasn't as badly matted as Noelle but it took quite some time to get the matted hair off with just a pair of scissors. Fluffy was with us for about 18 years and was the best pup we ever had. He was great with the kids, protective and playful and loved to go for rides in the car and boat. I still miss him.

The look on her face says it all! What a sweetheart! Thank you for saving her

I just can't understand what the hell people are thinking!!! This makes me so angry but I'm so happy that pup is great hands 💞

Hello everybody! I know there are a lot of questions about the legal issues with this video of Noelle: www.HopeForPaws.org/blog/Noelle I was surprised by how many people are questioning our actions on this rescue but trust me, the owner has my number, and so does the landlord. Everybody understands that I am just a phone call away to the officers of the Animal Cruelty Taskforce, and no one has said a word. 🤐 I am very well aware that I have A LOT of eyes on me, so I am very careful not to do anything that would hurt this organization - this is my top priority in life. 🐶❤😺 This tenant violated the laws of the landlord, the HOA, and the management company by committing a crime on their property, and it was their right to let us on the property and put an end to it. The tenant knows it and also knows there are going to be serious consequences for their actions that led to Noelle's condition... there is just no excuse for it! It's not like she was a part of their family anyway... no one ever loved her, cared for her, or played with her... they just gave her food, and that's definitely NOT ENOUGH - I can't believe some people defended that owner... I'm not even sure how you ended up on our channel if that's your position. 🤷‍♂ Anyway, it's all good here, and I love how to see that so many of you have already watched her beautiful transformation, and I am mostly happy to know that Noelle is so comfortable and happy. 😊 Thank you so much for helping us make it happen! I am going to work on Norman's video right now - you can read about him at the bottom of Noelle's blog. 💝 Enjoy 😉👍 Eldad

Omg this must have been itching like crazy Good Job guys Hugs from cologne germany ❤️👍

My little dog fell asleep forever 2 weeks before what would have been her 17th Birthday. In honour of all the love she gave me I donated her collection of coats, collars and Lucky Leashes to a rescue. So her Lucky leashes helped support your rescue and now will be used for rescue dogs over this side of the pond. Thank you for all you do, and for giving me something positive to help deal with her loss x

I will never understand why people abuse or neglect animals. I'm glad HFP rescued Noelle, and hopefully she'll find a forever home very soon with people who will love her for the rest of her life. I hope that karma gets there revenge on the person who had her before HFP rescued her. She looks like a different dog, it almost looked like they were shaving a lamb with the amount of fur that had to be removed to clean her. I hope that everyone at Hope for Paws has a wonderful and special Christmas.

I have a bichon so, see a shih tzu like this is heartbreaking. I hope the owner will have serious problem with justice...

Only a lovely soul like Loreta would think Noel was cute in the state she was in. What a beautiful voice she has!

Poor baby shih tzu, what a mess your owner left you in. Congratulations to your rescuers, very well done.

I’m in tears😢 some people should never have animals or children. Love you guys for all you do ❤🎄🎁✝️

When Loretta said "I love him already & Let's go to your new life" I cried. What a great part of Heaven she & Eldad will be in....

Smart little pooch! Looking at the appliances etc - there’s no shortage of money there to take care of a little dog. They take better care of their yard.

On behalf of all of the animals you have saved, Merry Christmas to all of the superheroes at Hope For Paws!

You have a beautiful voice, Loreta! Thank you for all you do.

Thank you, Ms Landlord. If there was ever the right thing to do for a dog, you did it! And you called the right people. What a wonderful rescue of an amazingly brave little fur-baby, Miss Noel.

Loretta is a gem with a big heart and gentle soul ❤❤

The owner who tortured this poor dog should be imprisoned for life.

Thank you, HFP!👏 Noelle is so beautiful inside & out. She never once complained throughout her massive ordeal with her painful hair removal. ❤❤❤ Merry Christmas!🎄

Wow, who knew Loretta had such an amazing voice?!! 🥰🥰🥰

Awe, she was smiling at the end...she feels ten thousand times better! Thank you Hope for Paws!!! Merry Christmas Noelle..much love sweet girl.

She remembers grooming !

Big doggie smile in the end! Big hug to all you life savers!

She looks so happy in her new sweater!

I for one, have never had a problem removing an animal from an abusive situation. By whatever means necessary. Anybody who sees an animal in need of rescue needs to do something.

It is lovely to see Loretta back! Y’all are the greatest rescuers ever! Thank you! ❤❤❤

Loreta is not only an angel for the important work alongside HFP for these deserving animals, but also has the voice of an angel. NOELLE's world changed the moment that Hope for Paws arrived and gave this amazing, beautiful dog a Christmas miracle. So grateful to you! Merry Christmas to you and the entire HFP crew!🎄

No present or amount of money could EVER replace this angel being rescued and saved by Eldad and Loretta thx you guys!

What a wonderful rescue...I literally got tears in my eyes when Loreta started singing to Noelle. What a beautiful moment! Thank you so much for the great work you do! So happy to know that Noelle will have a wonderful holiday season and life. 🥰

It’s like she knew you were helping her. She was so patient. Bless her.

Thank you all so much.

I came from your post about this video, and can't imagine how someone would be on the "owners" side. This poor puppy was so neglected and ill-looking, you were more than justified to take her. Props to the landlord who contacted you, it probably wasn't an easy decision. Also, Loretta's singing in angelic (to be fair, everything about her is ☺️🤍). Thank you for rescuing Noelle

Hurts to say, until Punishment and fines are increased against animal abuse and neglect the issue will never change. Bravo Zulu for your Foundation Eldod. Awsome team.

She was so happy when all that "fur" was off of her. She is a sweet precious baby.

I like how chill she is! She didn't barked even once after you rescued her!

that was one hell of a transformation!! Noel is so adorable. I know that she will get adopted soon. she was so content during her makeover too.

May God bless you!!!! You saved that BABY.

She came out of her shell so fast, her querkyness already came out.

When Loreta said "You're safe now." I cried happy tears. It's true, the little cutie is safe and will always be loved

Thank You to ALL HEROS & ANIMAL ANGELS EVERYWHERE. ❤🇱🇷🌍🌠

Thank You for rescuing this sweet, darling girl, getting rid of all that matted hair and finding her a foster hom until her family shows up with a new happy,life. Blessings Blessings Blessings 💗🙏💜🐾💖. I love you guys❣️❣️❣️

She looks so happy rolling around in her sweater thank you so much for all the amazing rescues you have done!

Noelle must have been so relieved to get that heavy matted coat shorn off!

May God always bless you guys for being soooooo kind!!!!!!!!🐶🐈🐱🐾😇❤

천사님들..정말, 감사드립니다..가엾은아기를 구조해주셔서....복많이받으세요..복많이받으세요..

Hi Eldad, Loreta and all the other involved angels: 🎄🎁💫Merry Christmas🎄💫🕯 to you, happy holidays, peace and health!

Glad she's still young. She'll have a long life ahead of her filled with warmth, love and kindness now.

Oh wow, Noelle is so beautiful!. Thank you all for rescuing her. She is so sweet and I'm sure that she'll find her forever home soon.

Thank you for saving this beautiful baby remember all lives matter, especially the innocent ones. Let’s show them respect and give them love like they deserve. They are loyal and loving babies.

It must be quite an experience for a dog to get all that fur/hair cut off. The relief must be incredible. Amazing how fast the dog bounced back from this terrible treatment.

I don't wish ill on anyone with the exception of any abusers. May they rot and be miserable and get what Karma sends them. So grateful the landlord finally stepped in and called you guys. Poor Noelle. Just breaks my heart. Thank you and Loreta and Katie for getting her and getting much love, medical attention and that nasty overgrown fur off. I can't believe how still and calm she was. Loreta and Katie's clipper skills are on point! And Loreta serenaded Noelle! 🌠🐶💞❤‍🩹 hope you find the most amazing forever home ASAP so you can see what being treated like a queen is like!

Thank God for helping this 🐕 dog. How could the owner be so cruel?? To neglect this poor dog for so long. They should never be allowed to have another dog. Thank you to everyone who saved this little female.

It's like giving an homeless person a makeover but she's a dog who deserves a better life too. She looks so good.🐕❤️

When she started singing the Christmas carol...I started to cry...you guys are amazing.

Loretta is so good at rescuing these babies. Eldad does commentary and camera work. Good job team HOPE FOR PAWS❤️

I just discovered this video and can't believe the state of poor Noelle's coat! Between those thick mats and whatever they picked up it must have doubled her weight! Hopefully she's happy in her new home and her former owners replaced her with a stuffed toy instead of a living pet.

I have a shih tzu and I was able to tell right away, Noelle is. Broke my heart to see her in that condition but so thankful and happy you rescued her. I had tears of happiness. Thank you for taking good care of her!!

When meeting a new dog always remember that they look into your eyes to see if your soul is pure, so no sunglasses!

I'm crying....thank you and have a Merry Christmas.

I knew she'd turn out cute, but I wasn't prepared for THAT cute! What a little doll!! She was so happy to be able to feel her own body again. But how were they able to go get her without some permission documentation? Thank you, bless you HFP, and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Look how happy she is now all cleaned up it’s a miracle. Thank you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Two years old and only now learning what happiness is. That made me cry. Thank goodness for everyone at HFP.

God bless the caller and hope for paws as well❤️❤️

Blessings for your help. Loretta welcome back! 😻🐶🙏🕉☮️❤️

Thank you all for everything you do to save these animals. I wish you all a wonderful Holiday!

Perfect name for this beautiful doggie. Bless all of you for rescuing her ♥️🐾🐶

Who needs Hollywood for feel-good stories when there are videos like this out there showing real people getting involved with making life better for so many? Thank you, and stay safe out there!

I’m literally jumping for joy that she was rescued and saved by these wonderful people…..you can see how relieved the pooch was to have all that matted hair removed from her body ❤

Oh wow this beautiful girl looks like my sweet Alice. She lived to be 19! This little baby looks exactly like her. Thank you for saving her! God bless her, and all the people who help the animals.

It's so heartbreaking to see what people allow to happen to such sweet animals. Also I absolutely LOVE how gentle and caring the Hope for paws crew are. True heroes indeed!!!!

ELDAD, you and your angels are a Christmas gift year-round for animals in need. You are beyond wonderful for all of your hard work and decency. We adore all of you!!

Absolutely beautiful. I wish I lived in California just so I could adopt her. I love the name of Noel as it is fitting for such a beautiful girl. She knew you were her saviors and were helping her. I have been donating to Hope for Paws for the past 3 years. My baby Charlie went over the Rainbow Bridge 08/20/2022 at 11 years old. He was my best friend.

God bless you for rescuing this sweet animal! The owner should be locked in a backyard with just food and water. No human contact, no care for their health and well being and limited human interactions. Make sure you take away their cellphone...These people who treated this dog so disgracefully should NEVER be allowed to own an animal!

That's outrageous that poor baby. I can't believe someone would neglect the poor thing like that. Bless you and the person who called you

Poor baby. So scared. You need to find a very, special home for this little angel.

Thank you for rescuing Noelle. Thanks to Noelle’s neighbors for getting her help! Merry Christmas Noelle, your a beautiful girl!

Aw she is so much lighter, cleaner, happier, doggie-er now. Thanks ladies you are stars. Hope Noodle gets adopted very soon by caring parents.

I can’t imagine how amazing she felt after getting all that matted heavy fur off,it reminds me of a snake shedding its old skin 😊 such a cutie ❤

Oh it's a Christmas Miracle!!! 😍

At 12:36 when she looks at Loretta, you can see she starts feeling safe. Amazing transformation. Thank you for saving her. I cannot believe that anyone would neglect an animal that way. She's so sweet too. Blessing for all you do for these animals in need.

Thank you all for saving this dogs life 🙏😘

Most amazing part was the way she rolled around, rubbing her face. Pure joy!

The way Noelle gazed at Loretta made my heart ache. It was like she knew it was her moment, that things were going to be very different soon. Thank you Elgar and Loretta.

Gratitude 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 et 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 félicitations pour le secours apporté à Noëlle. Chienne criminellement négligée. Chienne désormais traitée avec humanité et très heureuse. Noëlle est mignonne et charmante. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

May this Noel find a good home with a loving family who can give her the happiness and love she needs for Christmas, Be safe and Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year guys from Emporia Kansas!

How did they look at her every day? No shame. She looked so happy at the end! So happy for her.

Once again, after so many years, we are witnessing, moved, a miracle. No religion here, just the love, the efforts, the patience and the determination of a few humans who show us the way better than any guru. I never tire of witnessing, each time, this magical moment when a desperate animal comes back to life.

Равнодушие людей просто убивает жизнь этих ангелов! Браво за доброту и спасение

I will never understand people who get a companion animal of any kind and then neglect it. I mean why? This poor little dog. How would the owner liked to be treated this way? This little sweetheart is obviously a non shedding breed. Non shedders get so incredibly matted if they aren’t groomed regularly. So glad you rescued her. I’ll bet she felt fantastic getting rid of all that hair and getting clean again. I’ll bet the hair weighed more than the entire dog did.

It breaks my heart that animals are treated this way.Hope for Paws are true angels, Thank you for all you do ❤🐾

Oh, this one made me cry. Why would someone do this? And when her collar was revealed to be embedded into her neck, my heart broke. Thank you for saving this sweet, defenseless dog from a life of horror.

From a dog that was afraid of everything and everyone to a playful squirmy-wormy! Thank you for your service, patience, care, and love!

How can someone torture a sweet girl like her, I don't understand.

You guys are fantastic. Thank you for all you do
