Too often, I’ve witnessed dogs heartlessly abandoned, and it’s always heartbreaking to see.
It’s enough to make anyone feel disheartened as if things will never change.
However, that’s not the whole story. Even when it’s hard to see past the negativity, there are people out there who bring hope and kindness.
Many dedicated rescuers work tirelessly to ensure every dog they find gets a second chance and a loving home, making the world a better place.
For Suzette Hall, it was just another day when she received a call about a dog spotted near a busy California street that needed urgent help.
Rushing to His Rescue
The poor dog had been dumped by his owner, left to fend for himself in a dangerous area.
Not only was he constantly at risk of being injured while crossing the road, but he was also struggling to find food.
A kind passerby offered him a bit of food, keeping him going for a while, but the dog still had nowhere safe to sleep except near trash cans.
It’s heartbreaking to imagine.
Despite it all, he kept waiting, hoping his owner would come back to take him home—but that was never going to happen.
Suzette Hall finally arrived, ready to help him and change his life.
Setting a Humane Trap
When Suzette approached, the dog timidly backed away, unsure of her intentions. But Hall had a plan. With help from a friend, she sets a humane trap, baiting it with food to lure him in.
The dog, uncertain if these strangers could be trusted, couldn’t resist the meal.
Driven by hunger, he approached the food and was finally secured in the kennel. Hall sighed in relief, knowing he was now safe.
She loaded him into her vehicle, and they headed to the shelter. They’d gotten to him just in time, as heavy rain started pouring soon after.
A Fresh Start
Now safe in his temporary home, Hall prepared to take him to the vet for a checkup.
Although his future was uncertain, he was finally off the streets and on the path to recovery.
Thanks to Suzette Hall, he’s one step closer to finding a loving forever home.
I’m so grateful for people like her who bring hope to these innocent animals, proving that there’s still compassion and kindness in the world.
