When evening came, he inevitably found himself standing on that familiar street corner, awaiting his family to come get him. Just think about the heartache of losing your beloved pup unexpectedly. The constant worry and uncertainty as you search for a way to bring him home would be overwhelming.
Our beloved pets also feel the pain of being left alone when their families are no longer around. It can be tough for kids to understand why their furry friends are suddenly left stranded, with only a faint memory of happier times with their family. Nugget, a small canine from Southern California, found himself abandoned on the streets shortly before Independence Day due to his family’s decision to leave him behind. Despite the heartbreak of being abandoned, Nugget stayed loyal to the spot where he was last with his family, until one day, a positive change came his way.
Despite being a newcomer to the area, Little Nugget had a knack for finding his way back to the spot where his family had abandoned him. Several times, kind-hearted neighbors attempted to rescue the small pup from the streets, only for him to slip away each time. Yet, without fail, he would return to the same intersection every evening, hopeful that his family would eventually come for him. Sadly, that day never came.
On Independence Day, Nugget got scared by the fireworks and ran away, but he eventually returned to his spot once the noise died down. Although he seemed to accept that his family might not be coming back, he slowly realized that people around him were trying to help rather than hurt him. He timidly approached a woman’s door, looking for food, and even though she had a cat, she fed him. Despite this, Nugget was hesitant to come inside the woman’s house. She reached out to Suzette Hall, a friend and the founder of Logan’s Legacy from Irvine, California, for assistance.
“He had to endure loud fireworks and people constantly trying to catch him.” Suzette chimed in, “But he was clever enough to find food in all the right places.” Upon her arrival, Suzette immediately spotted Nugget waiting in the familiar spot he had been abandoned in. Without hesitation, she set up a humane trap and lured him with delicious treats, which proved to be a successful tactic. In just a few minutes, Nugget was safely secured in a box inside Hall’s van, and they were soon en route to Camino Pet Hospital.
At first, the small dog was a bit unsure, but he quickly warmed up to Hall and all the hospital staff, realizing they were all friends. “Thankfully, we managed to set up a trap,” Suzette shared on social media. “We were able to bring him to safety. He may be small and scared, but he’s safe now.” After a thorough check-up, he is now in the care of loving individuals, eagerly waiting to find his perfect forever home. We are excited to watch this beautiful dog from Southern California thrive in a new environment with a family who will cherish his brave and lovable personality!
