Every homeless dog dreams of finally finding a forever home. Visiting an evacuation center is the first step toward making that wish come true. Elliot, an adorable stray puppy, took matters into his own hands. In search of a forever family, he set out to build what he thought was the best hospital. Let’s see how his plan turned out.
Attractive visitor
Elliott was found in February 2023 in a hospital building in Irvine, California, which was undergoing renovations. The construction workers noticed this and did everything they could. The puppy was a little shy and didn’t let anyone get close to him.
At first, the builder tried to save the puppy, but he could not catch it every time. Wanting their little visitor to feel as comfortable as possible, they gave him a blanket.
The pup, later named Elliott, loved the blanket and has been seen lying on it ever since. The builders made sure Elliott didn’t go hungry. They fed and cared for him.
They immediately contacted rescuer and founder of Logan’s Legacy, Suzette Hall. She decided to help him and immediately headed there. However, Elliot won’t let her get close to him.
He was hiding at a construction site, leaving Hall with no choice but to set a humane trap using hot dogs as bait. Two hours later, Elliott was stranded. He was eventually rescued and taken to a veterinarian who prescribed antibiotics to treat the infection. He underwent X-rays and an ultrasound. Veterinarians were surprised to learn that little Elliot had eaten a spring.
“That’s how hungry he was. He would just eat anything,” Hall said.
Fortunately, no medical intervention was needed and Elliot passed the spring on his own.
New Life
Soon, Elliot was ready to go to a foster home, and he loved his foster mom, Tracy Freidman. He opened up to her, and he was no longer a shy pup.
“First, he was scared, but now he’s so sweet,” Hall said. “She said he’s perfect.”
His foster mom knew how much he loved blankets and she bought him a tower of blankets. Elliot loved the gift.
Elliot dreams of a forever family and soon finds one. On April 9, 2023, Suzette Hall wrote in a Facebook post that she was adopted. He now lives by the sea.
He is the only dog in his family and Suzette is sure he will receive lots of love. Starting a new life, Elliot changed his name to Vinny. It’s great to see him showering his new mother with love and kisses.
He is very happy that his wish to find a loving family has come true.
