For dedicated pet owners, abandoning their favorite animal companion is unimaginable. This unthinkable event still does happen and too frequently much to our dismay.

We come across these abandonment stories online way too often to dismiss them as one-time events. Rescue organizations, shelters, and good samaritans are never without work because too many people feel it's okay to leave their dogs outside to fend for themselves.

Reading about their heartwarming rescues is always a wonderful thing but it's also disheartening. Some of these animals have been roaming the streets for quite some time before rescuers find them.

They are often scared and confused why their humans are suddenly gone. They do not have the capacity to understand why they suddenly do not have a home and a warm bed to come back to.

No animal should have to feel that fear and confusion but it happens. Fortunately, tireless rescuers are willing to move mountains to save poor animals off the streets.

Suzette Hall of Logan's Legacy is one of those unsung rescuers. She was alerted by a concerned citizen of a dog who has been seen roaming around a construction site in their neighborhood.

Even with all of the commotion and noise in the area, the dog refused to leave the site. Some people and their dogs tried to approach her but she was so scared that she barked at them.

Hall suspected that the construction site was where the dog was abandoned by her family

The poor pup was probably thinking they will come back for her at this spot and she can't leave or they will never find her again

The neighbors took turns cooking food for the dog but she didn't really warm up to them

Luckily, Hall had experience saving abandoned and scared dogs before and successfully saved the dog after a long night of waiting

With the help of one of the concerned citizens, Hall was able to get the dog into the trap after a whole night of waiting for it

She wrote a heartfelt message on behalf of the dog who waited for her family who never went back

She recalled how torn up she felt watching the poor pup shake in fear and distrust

She promised that the dog will never have to go through that kind of pain and terror again

Hall coaxed the dog out of the cage and immediately brought her to the vet to get her checked out

The vet was understanding of the dog's situation and closed off a room to isolate & calm her down

They named the dog Bella and the vet fostered her for a while before Hall could find a more permanent placement

They eventually found a long-term foster for Bella who as of last update was still looking for her fur-ever home

Bella is headed for a full and happy life with the family who chose to keep her!

It's frustrating that she had to suffer for a while before she finally found people who genuinely cared for her. Thank doggy-heaven for dedicated people like Hall, who would do anything to shelter abandoned animals.

Because of their hard work and concern, Bella will have many more adventures to go to and beaches to run on. These rescue stories may be heartwarming, but we don't mind not seeing a lot of them in the future.
