\u201cHe waited for them to come back\u201d \ud83d\udc94<\/h2>\n

\n

A couple of months ago, a family living in Southern California received an eviction notice. They swiftly packed up all of their belongings and moved on to their next home, but they forgot to bring someone special: their senior pup.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey literally drove off and left him behind,\u201d Suzette Hall, founder of Logan\u2019s Legacy dog rescue, told The Dodo. \u201cAnd he waited for them to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The heartbroken dog, later named Fritter, had no idea where his family went. He no longer had access to the inside of the house, so he hunkered down in the empty boxes strewn in the yard and waited for his loved ones to return.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes, he would wait in the middle of the street and look at every car,\u201d Hall said. \u201cThe neighbors would leave food and water, and he made a little bed for himself in a box.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Neighbors tried to care for the dog as best as they could, but he wouldn\u2019t let them get too close. When they learned that the city wanted to tear the house down, they immediately reached out to Logan\u2019s Legacy for help.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so sad when I saw him,\u201d Hall said. \u201cHe was so loyal. He really thought they were coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hall set a humane trap with high-value treats and waited for Fritter to go inside, but he didn\u2019t budge. Just like he\u2019d avoided the neighbors, the dog was wary of Hall\u2019s rescue efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was really hard to catch, but we were able to get him cornered,\u201d Hall said. \u201cWhen I got him into my trap, he was just shivering and shivering. He was so scared.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the dog safely in her van, Hall spoke gently to Fritter on their ride to Camino Pet Hospital. When they finally parked, Fritter was calm enough to let Hall hug him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt felt so good when I finally got him out of the trap and held him,\u201d Hall said. \u201cI just told him that everything was going to be OK and that he would never, ever be left behind if anyone moved again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rescuer showered Fritter with kisses before handing him off to the veterinary team. After a bath and some medicine, Fritter\u2019s demeanor changed completely.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s so sweet now,\u201d Hall said. \u201cHe knows that he\u2019s rescued and safe. He\u2019s smiling now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As of now, Fritter\u2019s still soaking up all the love at Camino Pet Hospital, but he\u2019s on the hunt for a foster or adoptive home.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has so much love to give and would make the perfect<\/em> pet,\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n

Until then, Hall and her team will keep reminding Fritter that he\u2019s safe, loved and will never have to sleep in a moving box again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To inquire about fostering or adopting Fritter, reach out to Suzette Hall on Facebook.<\/p>\n
