Dog Found Crying in the Bushes Finally Gets the Help She Needed
Earlier this month, Logan’s Legacy 29 volunteer Arturo Flores received a heartbreaking call: a black-and-white dog had been spotted lying in the bushes, too weak to move, her cries echoing through the neighborhood.
When Flores arrived, the scene was exactly as described. The dog, later named Tillie, was curled on her side amid trash and weeds, whimpering in pain but unable to stand.
“The poor baby had been lying there for days in so much pain, and nobody came,” said Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy 29.
Determined not to leave her behind, Flores gently lifted Tillie into his car and rushed her to Camino Pet Hospital. There, veterinarians discovered the cause of her agony: a broken pelvis. It explained her inability to walk and the constant cries for help.
Despite the seriousness of her injury, vets were confident Tillie could recover with rest and care. “She just needs cage rest, small potty breaks outside and love,” Hall shared.
Tillie immediately seemed to understand she was finally safe. As the medical team treated her with pain medication and tenderness, she gazed up at them with gratitude, as if to thank them for helping her at last.
Now, Tillie is on the road to healing. The vet staff are still assessing whether surgery will be necessary, but with proper rest, medication and affection, she’s already showing signs of improvement — even smiling again.
Logan’s Legacy 29 is currently searching for a medical foster home where Tillie can continue her recovery. With her sweet personality and resilience, rescuers are confident that the perfect family will soon fall in love with her.
“She will never have to beg for help ever again,” Hall said.
