When it comes to abandoned puppies, I often wonder how anyone can leave a sweet pup to starve in isolation. What reasoning could justify such a decision? Even if some people lack compassion for animals, the least they could do is surrender them to a shelter for a chance at survival. Unfortunately, these situations persist with little we can do to prevent them. However, we can always call for help when we encounter a stray or abandoned puppy in distress.
Recently, a couple of employees at a California recycling center spotted an abandoned puppy running around and felt compelled to act. However, the poor pup was frightened and evaded their attempts to help, so they decided to call in a professional.
A Tough Rescue Mission
After being dumped at the center, the terrified puppy sought shelter but, spotting the workers, he fled. Despite their attempts to help and prevent his injury, he would dart away at the sight of anyone. In desperation, he jumped into the water nearby and swam until he could hide under a bridge. This poor pup endured four days of fear, too frightened to accept help.
Realizing that approaching the puppy wasn’t working, the kind individuals decided to take another approach. They placed food nearby to encourage him to come out on his own, hoping this would help him trust them. The puppy would sneak out to eat, but any noise would send him racing back to his hiding spot.
He Is Finally Safe
People often wonder what experiences this puppy might have endured to be so terrified of humans. As the recycling center employees realized their efforts weren’t enough, they reached out for help from Suzette Hall. Despite her efforts over several days, she faced many challenges and felt heartbroken to see the puppy’s fear and condition.
After a few days, Hall devised another plan to save the pup. This time, her approach was successful as he was safely trapped in a humane trap.
The team at the recycling center was overjoyed to see the frightened pup finally rescued. They aided Hall in placing the puppy in a car, and she took him back to the California shelter where he will receive the best care. The puppy, now named Buddy, is on the path to recovery. While details about Buddy’s future remain unknown, the knowledge that he is with a compassionate rescuer brings hope that he’ll find a loving forever home soon.
