Being a dog rescuer may not always be glamorous, but the satisfaction it brings is unmatched. That moment when you realize you’ve saved a life is truly special.
The compassionate team at Logan’s Legacy in Irvine, California, experienced this firsthand recently. Founder Suzette Hall and her team promptly responded to a call about a dog in distress. However, what unfolded was far from a regular rescue!
Struggling To Find Home For Months
This sweet Shepherd girl spent around eight months living by a local shop. Though she lacked socialization and didn’t have a home, she greeted her rescuers with a tail wag, showing her gentle nature.
However, when Hall and her team attempted to entice her with food and lure her into a humane trap, the dog instinctively fled but stayed near the shop, revealing her attachment to the place.
The Sweetest Momma
To the surprise of the rescuers, they discovered the dog was a new mom! Her adorable puppies were nestled in a hole next to the shop, keeping warm with one another. As Hall noted, “When we went to rescue her we had no idea she had just had babies. She was so scared; the workers showed us where her tiny babies were.” The mama dog had no interest in food; her only concern was her pups.
Thrilled by the mama dog’s protective instincts, the rescuers carefully gathered her puppies, placing them one by one in a kennel, and then inviting the mother to join them. Only after ensuring her puppies were safe did she begin to warm up to her new human companions.
Hall and her team expressed immense gratitude for the opportunity to rescue this wonderful furry family. The puppies, still in their early days, needed their mother, and now, they will no longer have to worry about food or shelter. They’ve been placed in a lovely nursery where they can thrive.
Once ready, these adorable pups are sure to find a loving forever home. For now, they are simply happy to be together!
