For days, she lay motionless in the bushes, surrounded by trash and silence — except for the soft, desperate whimpers that echoed through the neighborhood.
No one stopped. No one came.
Until one day, someone finally did.
Logan’s Legacy 29 volunteer Arturo Flores received a heartbreaking message: a black-and-white dog had been spotted curled up near the road, barely moving, crying out in pain. Without hesitation, Flores rushed to the scene.
What he found left him devastated.
There, amid broken branches and discarded garbage, the dog lay on her side, exhausted and hurting — yet still hanging on.
“She’d been lying there for days in agony,” said Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy 29. “And no one helped.”
Flores gently approached the dog, who would later be named Tillie, and promised she wouldn’t be alone any longer. He carefully lifted her frail body and carried her to his car, determined to get her the help she so desperately needed.
At Camino Pet Hospital, the veterinary team sprang into action. X-rays confirmed what they feared: Tillie had a broken pelvis. The pain had left her unable to walk, and yet she had held on, waiting for someone — anyone — to care.
“Just cage rest, short potty breaks, and lots of love,” Hall shared. “That’s all she needs to start healing.”
And that’s exactly what she’s been getting.
Though her road to recovery will take time, Tillie has already started to heal — not just physically, but emotionally. Wrapped in blankets and surrounded by gentle hands, she looks up at her caregivers with unmistakable gratitude.
“Just look at her face,” Hall wrote. “She knows she’s finally safe.”
Veterinarians are monitoring her closely to decide whether surgery will be necessary, but thanks to pain relief, rest, and a constant outpouring of affection, Tillie is already regaining her strength — and even starting to smile.
Now, the team at Logan’s Legacy is searching for a special medical foster home where Tillie can continue her healing journey in peace. She’s sweet, resilient, and full of love, and Hall is certain her forever family is out there — someone who will never let her down again.
“Tillie will never have to beg for help ever again,” Hall said.
