They finally got her out from between the cabins, but it was still clear that this pup was truly terrified. Her tail was still tucked underneath her, and she couldn’t stop crying and quivering.
Tucked Tail
Eldad slowly added another gentle leash for their own safety and then petted her on the top of her head to let her know she was safe. The dog accepted his gentle strokes and finally seemed to agree to go to the cage!
Finally Making Progress
Even though they were taking their time, Rain still seemed very scared and unsettled. Every so often, when Loreta and Eldad were sure she’d calmed down, Rain would yelp in fright and try to scurry away while crying louder and louder.
Still Afraid
Eventually, Rain allowed Eldad to gently pet her. This was huge progress, seeing as she wouldn’t come near either of them at first. Even though she was still very cautious and apprehensive, Rain allowed the rescuers to lead her to their car.
Apprehensive
Slowly making their way to the car, Rain was cooperating, but only just. Her body language indicated she was very uneasy still. She kept getting very jumpy and yelping, thinking that the rescuers were going to hurt her.
Uneasy
At last, they were able to make their way to the cage they would transport Rain in. They needed to get her to the vet to make sure she wasn’t injured in any way. Not to mention, she desperately needed a bath.
Reluctant
The person who called the rescuers is none other than one Carey Linnell. She was there by the cage and holding it open. Upon seeing her, Rain did not go into the cage and just go on all fours before sliding under Carey’s arms.
Seeing A Friendly Face
It seemed as if Rain had already known Carey and trusted her, allowing her to pet her. She even went up to her willingly, as if she knew that Carey was the one to call for help in the first place.
Familiar Face
It looked like she was trying to express her gratitude to Carey. This was a beautiful sight for all of them to see. Loreta and Eldad didn’t lose hope the entire mission. They wanted to help her in any way they could. Carey felt the same way.
Help However They Could
She must have wanted reassurance that it would all be okay. After this, she left everyone awestruck by going inside the cage of her own free will. They could not believe the remarkable progress this dog was making so quickly!
Surprisingly, Rain went into the cage willingly and easily. She looked more comfortable inside as if she felt safer in the small space. Who knows what made her go inside, but she seemed to be calming down a bit.
Getting In The Cage
Maybe it was the pillows on the bottom or seeing Carey, but whatever it was, Loreta and Eldad were happy to see Rain improving. She began sniffing around the crate and looking around at all of the rescuers.
Once she was inside the cage, Rain was the calmest the rescuers had seen her yet. She stopped crying and settled down. Loreta couldn’t believe what a major difference she had seen in Rain already by then.
Calm
Rain was even smiling a little and wagging her tail slightly! It was as if she was beginning to understand that she was getting help and going to be better. Loreta and Eldad wondered what on earth had been done to her in the past to make her so fearful of humans.
Once the cage was moved carefully into the car, Rain seemed so curious, she kept looking all around her, investigating her surroundings. She was a lot calmer in the cage. Rain must have known that being inside meant she was safe from harm.
Curious
Inside the cage, Rain finally got to enjoy the burger and even wagged her tail a fair bit! She was now safe and ready to go to the vet. She would get some TLC, spend the day at a doggy spa, and get plenty of cuddles from Loreta.
After some grooming and tests, Rain was now ready for a new chapter of her life. Just like any other dog in the world, Rain deserved a chance to live in a loving home with a family who would take care of her and keep her safe.
Becoming A New Dog
She had been a terrified pooch earlier that day, but it was like she transformed into a whole new dog after the bath and cuddles. She must have realized that these humans meant no harm.
It was obviously Rain’s first spa treatment, and she was absolutely loving it! She let the suds run down her nose and she welcomed the warm water and gentle hands of her “masseuse”. She would look like a whole new dog once finished!
A New Dog
They
had quite the opposite intentions, actually! They could tell that this dog was once a pet, although she did not have a chip on her. This meant that the dog once knew what it was like to be with a family.
It was easy to see that she was readjusting to what it was like when there was someone to care for her. After all, they doubted that she would have been this happy and trusting only hours after meeting Loreta and Eldad.
Getting Used To TLC
Once she was bathed and all cleaned up, Rain just wanted to cuddle up with Loreta and relax. Suddenly, she was acting like a completely different dog! In the mere hours that she’s been at the vet, Rain had turned into a sweet and cuddly pup.
It was only a matter of hours for Rain to begin adjusting and relaxing. She became a totally different dog, and all it took was a cheeseburger and a nice medical bath at the vet. Loreta was amazed at how sweet Rain became as soon as she knew she wasn’t in danger.
Transformed
The best is yet to come for her, however. Two weeks later, someone asked about her. Was this finally Rain’s much-deserved opportunity to join into a loving home with people who would keep her healthy and safe?
Days passed and everyone was impressed by just how different Rain seemed to be from the pup they saw crying at the parking lot. She now hopped all over the place just like a deer.
A Happy And Loving Dog
She would shake paws with everyone that gave her belly rubs and scratched her behind the ears. She was one of the happiest pups these people had ever seen in their whole lives! Two weeks later, she got rescued.
