When Freeter’s family received an eviction notice and left their Southern California home, they abandoned their beloved dog Fritter without realizing it. Fritter, the oldest dog, was left behind, confused and alone.

As his family packed up and departed, Fritter found solace in an empty box in the yard, hoping for their return.

The Lonely Wait

Left to fend for himself, Fritter watched cars pass by, longing for one of them to be his family returning. Neighbors provided food and water, but Fritter, overwhelmed by shock and fear, kept his distance.

He remained in a state of anticipation, unaware that his family had left him for good.

Rescue Efforts

Upon learning about Fritter’s situation, Suzette Hall, a local dog rescue volunteer, stepped in to help. Despite Fritter’s reluctance to trust, Hall and her team devised a plan to rescue him.

Setting a humane trap proved futile, but eventually, they managed to safely secure Fritter and transport him to Camino Pet Hospital for a check-up.

Building Trust

Fritter’s journey to recovery wasn’t easy. Initially wary of Hall and her team, he gradually began to trust them. A pivotal moment came when Fritter allowed Hall to embrace him, signaling a breakthrough in their relationship.

With each passing day, Fritter grew more comfortable in his new environment, moving closer to a brighter future.

Finding a Forever Home

Fortunately, Fritter’s story caught the attention of a loving family looking for a furry companion. A woman and her three siblings welcomed Fritter into their home, providing him with the love and care he deserved.

With his lonely nights behind him, Fritter embarked on a new chapter, filled with happiness and companionship.
