There are many valid reasons why you may no longer be able to care for your dog and have to abandon your dog.
But none of this justifies simply leaving them in the middle of the road to fend for themselves. They deserve a second chance and should not be treated this way.
This story is about a dog who was so afraid of his rescuer that he refused to move even when the rescuer came to help him.
Sad and abandoned dog
In July 2023, California-based rescue organization Hope for Paws received a call about an abandoned dog in the middle of a construction site.
One of the rescuers, Loreta Franconight, responded to the call and tried to help the confused animal. When he arrived, she guarded the area to prevent him from escaping and began to approach him.
When she was near him, she noticed just how frightened he was of human contact. Frankonyte tried to ease him up a bit with food, but it didn’t work.
He wouldn’t move an inch. He was just so scared that he didn’t know what to do.
He ate a little bit of the food, and they tried to place a leash on him to see if he would come with them.
Odin’s Hopeful New Life
The dog didn’t budge and they didn’t want to force him. A little while later, the woman who gave them a call offered her help.
They brought a small kennel where they placed the dog and carried him back to their car. They were really careful with him, and he seemed relaxed after being taken into the vehicle.
The rescuers took the dog, now named Odin, to a veterinarian clinic in California where he was neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.
They also made sure to check if he had any preexisting problems. All in all, he was a very healthy and happy dog.
Now, all that was left was for them to find a new home for Odin. They placed him on an adoption list quickly.
He was a very lovable and happy dog, so they had no doubts that he would find someone amazing.
It didn’t take long for the rescue organization to find a forever home for him and he is now living with a loving family who takes care of him.
