Pit Bull was literally surrounded by wood, metal, trash, and dangerous materials. This made it very difficult for the rescuers so Waste Management stepped in
Eldad Hagar, co-founder of Hope for Paws, rushed to the facility to save the dog from a potentially hazardous situation. The animal rescue group had been contacted by the center after workers discovered the pooch hiding amid piles of trash.
Hope for Paws told The Huffington Post that it was “one of the trickiest” rescues that Hagar has ever performed. The facility provided a bulldozer and an excavator to help with the rescue, but the pit bull was so frightened that he kept running away, precariously bounding over loose trash heaps and forcing Hagar to attempt the rescue on two different days.
When Hagar finally managed to contain Thor in a confined space, the scared dog began barking furiously and baring his teeth.
Hagar kept a safe distance away, all the while talking soothingly to the dog.
“I had to go slow and be patient,” he said in the clip.
His patience finally paid off. Hagar drove Thor to the vet, where the dog received medical treatment and was given a much-needed bath.
Before long, Thor and his rescuer became the best of pals Thor is now living with a foster family organized by LA Animal Rescue. He is still looking for a forever home.

Looks like the poor fellow just gave up. What a relief. Good boy. Wish I could take him.
I love hope for paws. My fav. Always donate money. When I do I try to donate at least 200$ at a time. I believe in them and they do truly remarkable rescues. God bless hope for paws.
I love Hope for Paws. They don't give up until they can save the animal in distress
