A Heartwarming Rescue
Have you ever wondered what happens to pets left alone on the streets? Do they find food, shelter, or even survive? The sad reality is that these abandoned animals often suffer, and while their previous owners may forget them, the pets never forget the pain.
Despite being abandoned, many dogs wait endlessly for their owners to return. They stay in the same spot for days, months, or even years, hoping to see a familiar face. This loyalty is heart-wrenching and highlights the difficult role rescuers play every day.
One such case was a German Shepherd who appeared in Brea, California, in March 2024. Dumped by her owner, she remained at the same corner, hoping they would come back for her. Her unwavering loyalty is a remarkable testament to these incredible dogs.
As night fell, she would seek shelter in a nearby yard, where kind homeowners left food and water. Despite their efforts, she was too scared to be caught. Suzette Hall, a local rescuer, shared, “She even fought off two coyotes.”
Rescued In Loving Memory
Eventually, the concerned residents decided they couldn’t let her stay out there any longer. They called for help, worried she wouldn’t survive on her own. They reached out to Suzette, the founder of Logan’s Legacy 29 rescue, for assistance.
When Suzette saw the Shepherd, she was heartbroken. Her son Logan, who loved Shepherds, had passed away from a rare heart condition. To honor him, Suzette started the rescue, calling Shepherds his “heart dogs.”
Suzette rushed to the site and found the exhausted dog. They tried to trap her, but she was too scared and ran away. After all she had been through, she couldn’t yet trust strangers.
That night, rain poured down. Cold and hungry, she returned to the homeowner’s porch. This time, they managed to catch her quickly. “We cried and hugged when she was finally safe,” Suzette said.
A Safe Place to Heal
Once rescued, she was moved out of the rain, finally safe and ready to receive the care she needed. She no longer had to worry about coyotes or going to bed with an empty stomach. Hopefully, she will soon find a forever home filled with love.
This story underscores the incredible loyalty of dogs and the devastating impact of abandonment. It also highlights the importance of responsible pet ownership and the hope provided by kind people and rescuers like Suzette.

How do they ensure that the dog won’t run away again after being rescued? I’m curious about the process.
