In a Southern California neighborhood, Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy dog rescue, received distressing news: a helpless dog had been abandoned, tied to a fire hydrant. This heartbreaking scenario wasn’t unfamiliar to Hall, who had recently saved several dogs from similar situations in the area. This time, it was a tiny pup left alone by its family.

Immediate Action to Save Cici

Despite her eagerness to rescue the dog personally, Hall couldn’t reach the spot in time. Instead, she swiftly sought help from a neighbor nearby, urgently requesting assistance to save the abandoned puppy. The neighbor responded promptly, finding the 8-month-old dog, later named Cici, tethered tightly to the fire hydrant, visibly distressed and trapped.

A Gentle Rescue and Health Concerns

Upon the neighbor’s intervention, Cici initially displayed fear, growling in uncertainty. With Hall’s guidance over the phone, trust was built, and the dog was freed from her entanglement. Yet, during the rush to the vet, Cici’s health deteriorated, likely due to fear and lack of sustenance.

Road to Recovery at the Vet

Fortunately, Cici received urgent care at Camino Pet Hospital just in time. Through medical attention and an outpouring of care, the pup’s health gradually improved, marking a turning point in her recovery. She began showing signs of improvement, finally displaying a more spirited demeanor.

Finding Comfort and a New Family

At the hospital, Cici found solace in the company of Hedy Herold, the office manager, forming a special bond that lifted her spirits. Now cleared for foster care, Cici eagerly anticipates starting a new phase of her life with a temporary family. However, she continues the search for a permanent loving home.

Hope and Resilience

Despite her distressing past, Cici exudes happiness and resilience, impressing everyone with her sweet nature. Hall remains determined to find Cici the perfect forever family, marveling at the remarkable recovery of this resilient little pup.
