Rescuers Spring Into Action After Receiving Call About Dog Thrown into Florida Lake

Date:

While rescuers are often filled with heartwarming memories, they also experience moments they wish to forget. The tales of saving animals from perilous situations to discovering them in disturbing conditions can break even the toughest hearts. Such was the case when the team at Mastiff Rescue of Florida Inc. learned about Gator’s plight.

He Deserved Better

It was a good Samaritan who alerted the rescue about Gator, a pup who had been thrown into a lake by his owner in a cruel attempt to drown him. Fortunately, the Samaritan arrived just in time to save this poor pup.

Upon discovering that Gator was in distress, the Samaritan reached out to the rescue for assistance, which they gladly offered. The rescuers swiftly picked him up from the shelter and rushed him to the ER, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia. Thanks to the generosity of their supporters, Gator was able to pull through.

Remarkably, Gator proved to be a brave and resilient companion, making a full recovery in no time. His new family enveloped him with love, which caused him to develop some separation anxiety, as he had never experienced such affection before. Thankfully, Travis, a man looking for a pup just like Gator, stepped in. “When Travis met Gator, it felt like they had been together forever; their bond was instant,” the rescue shared.

Travis had recently lost his beloved pup, Nora Ann, and adopting Gator became a beautiful way to honor her memory. “Gator settled in effortlessly, forming friendships with the other dogs, enjoying the plush dog beds, lounging by the pool, snuggling with Travis at night, and savoring delicious food. Gator finally has the life he rightly deserves — filled with LOVE!” the rescue expressed gratitude towards Travis and his family for embracing this special soul.

The joy of knowing that Gator has found a loving family fills my heart with happiness. There truly is nothing better than witnessing a sweet pup live their best life!

Help Our Furry Friends

As adorable as animals are and as pure as their hearts can be, some humans fail to see it. Sadly, animal cruelty continues to plague our world, causing our furry friends to lose trust in humanity. Many people, including pet owners, forget that animals feel pain too, leading to unimaginable acts of cruelty.

Countless questions race through their minds as they wait for the day when a kind human extends their hand: Why is this happening to me? Aren’t we supposed to be friends? Is there something wrong with me? The longing for a compassionate touch remains alive. And you could be that person!

We must end animal cruelty by helping our furry friends find safe, loving homes and families. Shelters urgently need our help to ensure these animals receive the lives they deserve.

Visit your local animal shelter and be the change our world desperately needs.
