Rescued From Neglect, Tiny Dog Finally Feels Safe
Over the weekend, Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy 29, received a heartbreaking call for help from fellow rescuer Kris Kelly of The Kris Kelly Foundation. Kelly had discovered a tiny dog tied to the back of a residential trailer, completely alone and neglected.
Hall and her volunteer, Arturo Flores, were already in the area rescuing a group of abandoned chickens. As soon as they heard about the dog, they wrapped up their work and rushed to the trailer site. But when they arrived, the pup was nowhere to be seen.
“We couldn’t find him outside,” Hall wrote on Facebook. “So we decided to knock on the trailer. We were determined to get him.”
A man answered the door, and Hall asked about the dog she’d heard had been tied up outside. To her surprise, the man confirmed the pup was his and, without hesitation, offered to relinquish him.
“He said, ‘Do you want him?’” Hall wrote. “And within minutes, he was safe in our hands.”
The tiny dog, later named Remi, was shaking in fear as Hall lifted him into her arms. Weighing barely five pounds, he was frail and clearly had not been cared for properly. But once he realized he was safe, Remi began to relax, clinging softly to Hall for comfort.
Hall and Flores immediately transported Remi to Camino Pet Hospital for a full exam. Veterinarians diagnosed him with non-contagious mange and started him on medication and soothing treatments to help heal his irritated skin.
Despite the ordeal he’d endured, Remi’s personality quickly began to shine. At the vet clinic, he perked up and wagged his tiny tail, seemingly grateful for the care and attention he was finally receiving.
Soon after his rescue, The Forgotten Dog Foundation stepped up to help. They placed Remi in a loving foster home, where he is now thriving.
“He’s decompressing and learning how to trust,” Hall wrote. “This baby is forever safe and getting everything he needs. And, oh my goodness, he is the sweetest.”
Remi is still recovering from the emotional scars of neglect, but thanks to the dedication of his rescuers, his future is brighter than ever. He’s patiently waiting for the perfect forever family to adopt him and give him the life he deserves.
