Dogs are among the most devoted beings on the planet. They consistently remain by their owners’ side. Our furry companions should be treasured and showered with affection every single day.
Unfortunately, numerous dog owners lack gratitude and compassion, abandoning their pets without concern for their well-being.
The forsaken puppies are oblivious to the fact that their family was capable of leaving them behind. Displaying such loyalty, they continue to wait for their families, hoping for their return one day.
Rolo was one of those dogs who experienced betrayal and abandonment by his guardians. The devoted dog maintained hope that his family would return for him and take him to the one place he referred to as home.
An Unexpected Visitor
It was merely a typical day for a worker at a nursery in Southern California. While tending to the plants, a dark, furry figure caught his attention at the far end of the garden.
As he approached, he soon realized that the unexpected arrival was a sweet brown puppy wearing a sorrowful expression.
Noticing the worker approaching, the timid dog became anxious and scurried to the back of the nursery.
The worker wished to rescue the puppy, but despite his efforts to gain its trust, the dog remained frightened and kept its distance.
The nursery worker did all he could to protect the pup. He provided food and water for the canine and, when he returned home each night, he couldn’t stop thinking about his new companion and worrying about its safety.
“He would literally pray every day after work that the dog would still be there the next morning. There were so many coyotes on that property at night. But, somehow, he knew how to stay safe, and he would be there the next morning,” Hall remarked.
In spite of the risks he faced each night, the loyal puppy refused to vacate the spot where his family had forsaken him.
Attempting To Gain His Trust
Whenever he had an opportunity, the worker endeavored to reassure the puppy that he was a friend. He hoped to eventually catch the dog and lead him to safety.
Even though the wary pup recognized that the worker was the only individual who showed him care, he still didn’t allow him to get any closer.
Worried that the coyotes might harm his new companion, the worker reached out to Logan’s Legacy, located in Irvine, California, and sought their assistance to save the dog.
Unable to go herself, Suzette Hall, the founder of the rescue, dispatched her friend, Mary, to rescue the puppy, who was later given the name Rolo.
Upon Mary’s arrival at the site, she set a humane trap and patiently awaited the dog to enter it. The worker informed her that Rolo was shy, so she anticipated that the process of rescuing him might take a while.
Rolo didn’t appear frightened, but still, the rescuer observed that he hesitated to leave his familiar surroundings. He had formed a bond with his friend and was reluctant to be apart from him.
Recognizing that he could no longer remain there, Rolo ultimately entered the trap. Though the worker cared deeply for his furry companion, he was unable to provide a home for him and had to bid farewell.
He cradled Rolo in his arms and embraced him, feeling optimistic that the rescue organization would find the perfect home for him.
Wishing To Discover A Forever Home
Although parting with his friend was challenging for Rolo, he understood deep within that he needed to move on. He had to seek out a caring family and a permanent home.
The charming pup was transported to Camino Pet Hospital, in Irvine, California. The staff at the hospital adored the sweet boy from the very first moment they encountered him.
They provided him with the love and cuddles he craved, and Rolo was delighted to be cherished and looked after. He would never face abandonment again.
I’m utterly thankful to the nursery worker and Logan’s Legacy for rescuing him. I have no doubt that a dog as loyal and loving as Rolo will soon find the caring family he rightly deserves.
