Champ suffered a terrible injury and recovered beautifully! Viewer Discretion Advised.

by



Today’s rescue video is so important to me. My dad (who passed away last year) was injured in a terrible accident when he was 17 years old and spent a whole year in a hospital bed. The doctors told him he would never be able to walk again, but my dad told them, β€œI will dance!”

Through hard work with physical therapists (67 years ago!), he was able to walk, tie his shoes with just one hand (the other was not functional), have six children, and live a long and healthy life. 😊

Like my dad, Champ also suffered a terrible injury (it’s possible his leg got stuck in a machine, an electrical gate, or maybe he was hit by one of the trains passing in this area).

Rich Lujan, who reached out to Hope For Paws, informed me that after reviewing the security camera footage, he saw Champ at the refinery at 10 PM, walking on all four legs. However, by the time he found him at 5 AM, Champ only had three legs. 😰

I rushed to the location immediately and approached slowly – an injured animal can be dangerous!

Champ, like the champ that he is, allowed me to comfort him, secure him, and get him to CARES.

Our ability to do rescues like this completely depends on your support. If you can, please join us with a $5 recurring donation that will send us on many more rescue missions: https://www.HopeForPaws.org/donate

Champ’s behavior throughout his recovery was absolutely amazing and inspiring. According to Google, between 1-2 million people go through amputations every year around the world! It’s a traumatic event, and I hope Champ will inspire through his story and show how recovery and happiness are possible.

Please share this video with family and friends – we all know a veteran who was injured, someone who was seriously injured in an accident, or someone who lost a limb due to sickness.

The amazing team at CARES – an emergency trauma doctor, a board-certified surgeon, a rehab doctor, and, of course, the supportive team of technicians, all worked around the clock to help him fully recover.

The story doesn’t end here – Champ is now looking for a foster home or a loving forever home. Our friends at Maison SΓ»re who receive our rescue alerts and notified me early in the morning to head to this rescue, will handle his adoption.

Thank you so much to all our supporters for helping us change his life!

  7. I put this on a different tab to watch when I was done with school work, and decide to watch it while I eat dinner… maybe I should have fully read the title 😭

    Thank you for saving this precious boy! He's such a trooper <3

  11. Champ might have lost his leg, but he traded it in for something more important – a brighter future with love and joy. He's the perfect example that Pitbulls are loving family dogs, not the monsters that are shown everywhere!

  15. God just think how long he’s been out there by himself, night and day with no one to care for him, without sufficient food and water, I wonder if he got hit by a car? I’m so glad somebody reported him and now he has Care. Folks, if you see an animal in need, don’t post on social media just get help immediately.

  19. This was so hard to watch. Champ is a trooper and you guys are PURE ANGELS for helping him. I'm so glad the surgeon has the stomach to work on his leg, what mental and emotional strength that must take. β™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯ I hate the electric fences that enclose properties. I'm always worried animals will get stuck in them. I can't imagine the horror he must have gone through whatever happened to him.

  20. A pittie's nature is gentle, protective especially of small children, and has no issues with other animals. You have to mess with their heads to make them into fighting dogs, sadly they never fully recover their better selves once turned.
