\u201cShe would go up and scratch on the door like, \u2018Let me in!\u2019\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n

\n

The minute Suzette Hall heard about a stray bichon mix going from porch to porch looking for shelter, she knew just how the dog felt. Recent floods in Hall\u2019s Southern California neighborhood had forced the dog rescuer out of her house, and, just like the white, fluffy pup, she was desperately trying to find a new place to call home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had been feeling so displaced that day, like I didn\u2019t have anywhere to go,\u201d Hall, founder of Logan\u2019s Legacy dog rescue, told The Dodo. \u201cAnd then I got the message about the dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Neighbors first noticed the dog a few days prior, seemingly after her family left her in a nearby park. Southern California was experiencing devastating storms at the time, and, while the rain poured down, the scared pup stopped at every surrounding house in hopes of being saved.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe would go up and scratch on the door like, \u2018Let me in!\u2019\u201d Hall said. \u201cThen, when no one answered, she would just sit there and shake.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Before making her way over to the dog\u2019s location, Hall posted about her online. She expected messages to pour in from people claiming to be the dog\u2019s owners, as she typically would with white, fluffy dogs, but this time was different.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t even get one,\u201d Hall said. \u201cNobody was looking for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

As soon as Hall got to the neighborhood, she started to employ all her usual tactics for catching dogs. She set up a humane trap, threw some treats in the pup\u2019s direction to lure her, then hid. She hoped the dog\u2019s hunger would lead her straight into the trap, but, instead, her fear drove her away from it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Defeated, Hall tried a more personal approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was too scared to go into the trap, so I sat there with her and talked to her,\u201d Hall said. \u201cI was telling her that I understood how she felt. I was saying, \u2018I don\u2019t have a home either right now.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

To her surprise, the pup warmed up to Hall as soon as she started talking to her. The rescuer inched her way toward the dog as she spoke, and, eventually, she was close enough to touch her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI slowly made my way closer, then she let me start petting her,\u201d Hall said. \u201cThat had me shocked.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a few loving pets, Hall gently placed a slip lead over the dog\u2019s neck, then put her in the trap to transport her to the truck safely. As they drove away, the dog drifted off to sleep.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hall brought the pup straight to the vet, who soon gave her a clean bill of health. The only thing that seemed to be bothering the pup was her matted fur, so they made a last-minute grooming appointment.<\/p>\n

As she shaved away the pup’s knotted clumps, the groomer felt as though the dog looked like a Nicole, so she named her Nikki for short.<\/p>\n

Before long, Nikki had a refreshing new haircut and was ready to go to her foster home, where she still is today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The sweet pup is currently waiting for a forever family, but Hall has a feeling it won\u2019t take long for someone to fall in love with her.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s one of those dogs who everyone just loves instantly,\u201d Hall said. \u201cShe\u2019s so kind, and she doesn\u2019t even bark!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Homeless<\/picture>

\n

Hall hopes that the perfect family will find Nikki soon, but, until then, the rescuer and her team will continue to soak up all the love Nikki has to give.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is just the sweetest little dog,\u201d Hall said. \u201cSeriously, she is perfection<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To inquire about adopting Nikki, reach out to\u00a0Suzette Hall\u00a0on Facebook.<\/p>\n
