Animals forced to live outdoors during the winter have a very difficult time surviving.
They struggle to feed themselves and most struggle to find shelter from the wind, rain and heat. That’s why all animal shelters are working overtime to save all the animals in need during this cold season. And fortunately, they can even get help from the community, whether it’s volunteer work or a call to report a distressed animal in need.
Cold rescue
A man was driving on a busy Michigan highway during a snowstorm when he noticed something strange on a nearby hill.
The pup, later named Rudy, stared at passing cars as snow continued to fall on his shivering little body. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the driver to realize that Rudy was a puppy in need of help.
He immediately called Michigan Humane, a private nonprofit organization that specializes in animal rescue and conservation, and informed them of the situation.
Michigan rescuers rushed to the scene, hoping to find the pup waiting for them when they arrived.
Fortunately, Rudy didn’t move, but he hesitated a little when he saw the rescue team. The pup tried to move away from them, but after calming down a little, he realized that the human had actually come to take him somewhere warm.
“He was initially nervous and walked away from them but approached when our team got closer,” Michigan Humane media manager, Anna Chrisman, told The Dodo.
The rescuers managed to capture the entire rescue, sharing it on their Facebook:
