Dog simply abandoned in the dirt: animal shelter refuses to help him
Los Angeles (USA) - It was a case that shook even experienced dog rescuer Suzette Hall to the core: a small four-legged friend was simply abandoned in the dirt outside an animal shelter. No one wanted to help him.
"Poor little boy," Hall wrote in a post on Facebook, to which she added pictures of the rescue operation.
She explained that this is exactly where heartless owners who no longer want their pets drop them off.
Unfortunately, this was also the case with Hall's youngest protégé. About two weeks ago, he turned up on a pile of garbage in front of the facility and was too frightened to be helped by passers-by.
Particularly macabre: although the staff were made aware of the dog 's fate , they simply didn't seem to care - the stray remained on the street, cowering fearfully in a corner.
Dog ends up in foster home on the same day
Fortunately, a friend of Hall's, Rosario Ortiz, had noticed what was going on and immediately made her way to the rescue.
Together with a helper, she did everything she could in the pouring rain to free the dog from its predicament.
"This poor baby was so scared, but Rosario and the security guard managed to corner him and then grab him," Hall continued. The animal lover then set about finding the dog a shelter as quickly as possible.
And lo and behold, on the very same day, the little one went to a loving foster family.
"He just wants to be loved, but he is still so afraid to trust people," Hall wrote sadly, but also hopefully. "But he is safe and will soon learn what love means."
