Puppies Abandoned
A local rescuer received a call one day from a girl who was concerned about abandoned puppies. The girl reported that she saw three puppies alone near the railway station. The location was outside of the city. Nevertheless, the rescuer had no choice as that location was unsafe for the dogs.
The kind citizen who placed the call was there when the rescuer arrived. She pointed out the dogs location with tears in her eyes. These poor pups were in terrible condition. Thankfully, two of the puppies were friendly enough and approached her.
Earning Trust
Alternatively, the third puppy was withdrawn and clearly hesitant to approach the humans. The rescuer fed all three dogs, stepping back to allow them space. She had hoped this small kindness would earn the dog’s confidence in her.
Unfortunately, even after the puppy was fed, she was skittish as well as withdrawn. The rescuer easily coaxed the first two puppies to her vehicle. However, their third hid under a clump of bushes.
Clearly, this little canine was not going to easily respond. The rescuer did not pressure the animal, but sat down to wait. Following this non-threatening position, the sweet pup came out on her own. Because of the rescuer’s calmness, she had the chance to take the dog to her vehicle.
Road to Recovery
The rescuer took her charges to the vet for an assessment. Thankfully, all three were heartworm-negative. All three of these sweet pooches received necessary vaccinations as well as treated for fleas and ticks.
Subsequently, these three puppies went to their foster families. They would have to stay there until they are ready to be adopted and go to their forever home.
The rescuer was very pleased to retrieve these puppies from the railway station. The kind citizen who made the call, was key to saving these sweeties.
If not for that call, the rescuer wouldn’t have known about the puppies. She would not have gotten the chance to save them. All it took was one concerned person to change a dog’s life. In this case, three puppies will gain forever families from a single call.
