In Orange County, California, there’s a heartwarming tradition of residents coming together to help animals in need. Among those who regularly lend a helping hand are Arturo Flores and Lou Dora, volunteers with a local cat rescue group.
One day, while scanning a busy area of warehouses and streets, they spotted what they initially thought was a frightened cat peeking out from behind a pillar.
Upon closer inspection, however, they discovered it was actually a small dog that needed rescuing.
Concerned about how the dog ended up in such a dangerous place, Arturo and Lou soon got their answer from an employee at a nearby tire shop.
According to Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy 29, who shared the story on Facebook, “The man who worked at the tire shop said a car pulled up and dumped her.”
This news was heartbreaking for Arturo and Lou to hear, especially since the dog had waited loyally in the same spot, likely hoping her family would return.
It turned out that the small patch of grass the dog adopted as her home was perhaps the only bit of greenery in the area, providing relief from the hot concrete. She waited there faithfully, despite the scorching surroundings.
Determined to help, yet unsure of how to approach the frightened dog, Arturo and Lou reached out to Logan’s Legacy 29 for advice. Upon learning about the situation, Suzette Hall rushed to Irvine to lend her expertise.
Despite her experience, Hall found it challenging to gain the dog’s trust. The dog, petrified and immobile, refused to approach anyone despite Hall’s gentle efforts.
Hall devised a new plan using dog treats inside a humane trap. Her instincts paid off as the dog, driven by hunger, cautiously entered the trap for the treats.
Once safely secured, Hall named the adorable pup Bean and took her to Camino Pet Hospital in Irvine.
The veterinarians discovered that Bean had endured a lot during her time alone, with scabs on her ears and legs requiring immediate attention. With care and tenderness, they treated her wounds.
Gradually, Bean began to show signs of comfort and trust. A pivotal moment came when Bean was transferred to a foster home, where she experienced warmth, soft bedding, and loving care.
Hall reported to The Dodo, “She loves to cuddle and is so sweet and thankful. And she loves to hug her foster family.”
Though Bean hasn’t been adopted yet and still has some healing to do, Hall is optimistic that her journey will lead to a forever home.
The unwavering pup who clung to a grassy patch now looks forward to a future filled with love and security, far removed from her difficult past.
