Hearing loud screams in the middle of the night can be unsettling, but for one big-hearted woman, fear is not an option. Kaitlyn, a rescuer from Adams County Pet Rescue in Othello, Washington, sprang into action.
Immediately sensing that the sounds weren’t coming from humans, Kaitlyn knew she needed to investigate. It wasn’t until she peeked under her own car that she discovered the source of the distressing noise.
A Shocking Sight
It was already 11 P.M. when Kaitlyn, returning home after letting her dogs out, was met with heart-wrenching cries from beneath her car. Upon closer inspection, she was stopped in her tracks by an extraordinary sight: there, in the darkness, were two fearful eyes gazing back at her. The frightened pup had tucked herself beneath the vehicle, terrified and hoping not to be discovered.
This puppy, however, was hard to reach! Unexpectedly, Kaitlyn’s rescue mission quickly escalated. “The pup darted out from under the car, with Kaitlyn racing right after her to prevent the dog from escaping into the night,” the rescue organization recounted.
Fortunately, the pup didn’t run off into the fields; instead, she circled Kaitlyn’s house nervously, clearly scared and traumatized, yet reluctant to leave what she now regarded as a “fenced refuge.” In the process of trying to rescue her, Kaitlyn lost her sandals and continued barefoot, gathering a small crew to corner the terrified puppy safely, which ultimately led to a successful rescue before the organization intervened. Kaitlyn called the rescue at 11 p.m. knowing it would be something intriguing, and, as expected, it was an adventure.
The dog was safely brought to the rescue facility for further care.
Primavera Has A Whole New Life Now
Despite her previous trauma, the dog, now named Primavera, quickly blossomed with the support of the Adams County Pet Rescue. She found a temporary foster home where she transformed into a new, more sociable dog.
Now, with her foster mom, Tammy, Primavera is discovering what it means to enjoy life. She no longer exhibits fear; instead, she welcomes new experiences and loves meeting people. Notably, she adores rides in a puppy buggy!
Tammy ensured that Primavera learned all about love, and in return, her new foster baby reciprocated affection. Primavera has grown fond of chasing balls and carrying her toys around, but what she cherishes the most is being surrounded by people.
“She loves chasing balls, chew toys, carrying her stuffies around, and hanging out in the backyard. She’s very social now and wants to be where the people are,” shared the ACPR team on Facebook.
Primavera is still learning, but she has the potential to be an exceptional companion. When the time is right, she will be eager to join her forever family, embarking on new adventures and meeting new friends. After all she’s endured, she truly deserves it!
