When this little pup was discovered stranded on a rooftop, everyone was bewildered by how he arrived there. Alone and frightened, the puppy was in dire need of assistance, laying on the roof hoping for rescue. That’s when the true spirit of humanity emerged!
The residents of the apartment complex quickly sprang into action, with one calling the dedicated team at Austin Animal Center in Texas, who responded promptly.
Desperate And In Need Of Help
When Staci Figueroa and her colleague, Erica Cerza, arrived, they were taken aback by the sight of the puppy on the roof. He had walked down the hallway of the apartment complex, slipped through the railing, and found himself on the rooftop. Unfortunately, he was unaware of how to return!
The rescuers quickly spotted a small hole in the metal next to the puppy, posing a significant risk if he fell through. Realizing the urgency, Staci and Erica wasted no time in coming up with a plan to rescue him.
With assistance from a resident, they removed one of the pickets in the fence adjoining the roof, using a screwdriver to ease the process and facilitate the rescue.
“With the help of a resident and her handy dandy screwdriver, our officers were able to remove one of the pickets from the fence and get the little guy out. Once he was safe, the picket was replaced as if nothing had happened,” AAC wrote on Facebook.
Successful Rescue Mission
Once the rescuers safely held the puppy, he nestled comfortably in Cerza’s arms, showing no signs of fear or anxiety, but rather some confusion. Moments later, he began to play with her hair, signaling he had relaxed significantly.
After ensuring the puppy’s safety, the rescuers collaborated with the apartment complex’s management to alert residents, hoping to reunite him with his owner. Unfortunately, no one came forward.
Eventually, the puppy was transported to the facility, where he received further care and was given the name – Wicket! In just a few days, Wicket came out of his shell and revealed his playful and sweet nature. As a delightful outcome, he was soon blessed with a fantastic new home.
“No one came forward, and ‘Wicket’ was adopted to a new home last week,” the rescue shared on Facebook.
Now, Wicket enjoys life as a cherished companion, far from perilous rooftops and uncertain tomorrows, filling his days with excitement and love—everything he has ever dreamed of!
