When temperatures drop, finding food scraps to keep warm is a daily challenge for homeless dogs.
This is especially true for small puppies that are separated from their loving mothers and left alone. They endure hunger and cold and hope that people will lend a helping hand.
Ace the dog also felt hungry and cold while sitting in the store parking lot. The little one misses his mother very much. His heart was full of sadness because he could not find him. The furry little one recognized the shoppers and began to look at them with sad, pleading eyes. He hoped someone would be kind to him and take him somewhere safe and warm.
The little fur needs help

Veteran dog rescuer Dina Tsosie was heartbroken when she received a call from a kind community member on the Navajo reservation.
They said a small child with black fur was sleeping in the Ace Hardware parking lot. He was completely alone.
“He is about 4–5 weeks old. He was supposedly dumped off there …,” Tsosie wrote on Instagram.
Worried for the little guy, Tsosie headed to the hardware store. Upon her arrival, she noticed a small puppy who found shelter from the cold next to a parked car.
Tsosie approached him, wishing to stroke him and greet him.
The moment the little furball saw her walking towards him, he got scared. He ran off toward the nearest car and hid behind one of its wheels.
Tsosie began talking to the pup and reassuring him that he was safe. The little boi sensed that he could trust his rescuer, so he left his hiding place.
After Tsosie took the puppy, later named Ace, in her hands, she searched the nearby area for his mom or his siblings.
Unfortunately, Ace’s family was nowhere to be found. The tiny fur baby was in the parking lot all alone.
While Tsosie was holding him in his arms, Ace gazed at her with his sad eyes. If the beautiful puppy could speak, he would have probably asked his rescuer to take him somewhere where he would be loved.
Resolved to help the puppy find a loving family and a home, Tsosie contacted Az Hidden Jem Rescue in Phoenix, Arizona, and they agreed to take Ace under their care.
They fell head over heels in love with the little pup as soon as they saw the video of his rescue.
“He looked like a little bear and [was] just confused,” The Az Hidden Jem Rescue wrote on Instagram.
The same day, the rescue picked him up and brought him to the vet clinic. The vet team gave him a thorough medical checkup and quickly established that Ace was suffering from mange.
The lovely pup was prescribed the necessary treatment.
Sweet Life In A Foster Home
The Phoenix-based rescue set the puppy up with the perfect foster family. They welcomed him to their home and took excellent care of him.
The little boi receives treatment for mange, but he doesn’t let that get in the way of his happiness.
Ace fell in love with his new life. He relishes the affection and love his foster family showers him with.
He spends his time playing with his foster siblings – a litter of sweet kittens.
As soon as the gentle fur baby heals completely, he’ll start searching for his forever home. We’re sure that Ace will soon steal the heart of his forever family, who will love him just like he deserves.
