动物救援人员使被遗弃的狗不再感到害怕
动物救援人员使被遗弃的狗不再感到害怕

It’s 2023 now. No matter how many times Suzette Hall has saved an animal, she never gets over the casual cruelty some people show toward unwanted pets. When she lost her own dog nine years ago, she started Logan’s Legacy to help other pets in need.

Suzette recently received a phone call about a small dog, possibly a puppy, that had been thrown out on a street. This wasn’t the first time she’d been called to the street. Since she was too far to help on this day, she called a friend who lives nearby to get there as soon as possible.

When Suzette’s friend Rosario Ortiz arrived, she found a tiny dachshund (腊肠犬), her chain tied to a bright yellow fire hydrant (消防栓). Someone had left food and water for the dog, but the puppy was too scared to eat or drink.

Rosario put her up in a quilt, placing her gently into her car’s back seat for a trip to Suzette. Once she was safe, the puppy began to get weak quickly. “She got so sick in the car,” Suzette said. “We think it was from fear and lack of food and water since she was too scared to eat the food they’d left.”

Once she got some water and food, the puppy got well. As soon as she cheered up, her cute and sweet character could finally shine!

“We have named her Cici,” Suzette said, adding, “She is feeling so much better. This sweet baby girl will never feel fear again, and won’t ever be left to a fire hydrant EVER again.” Suzette and her friend are trying their best to find her the perfect family to love her and treat her with the respect!
