Over the weekend, Suzette Hall — founder of Logan’s Legacy 29 — received an urgent call from fellow rescuer Kris Kelly of The Kris Kelly Foundation. Kelly had spotted a tiny puppy tied to the back of a trailer, left alone for days with no one to care for him.
Hall and her volunteer partner, Arturo Flores, were already out rescuing chickens nearby when they got the news. They quickly wrapped up and rushed over. But when they arrived, the puppy was nowhere to be seen.
“He wasn’t outside, so we decided to knock on the trailer,” Hall shared on Facebook. “We were determined to get him.”
A man answered the door. When asked about the puppy, he casually admitted the dog was his — and then, without hesitation, offered to hand him over.
“The owner didn’t even pause,” Hall wrote. “He just said, ‘Do you want him?’”
Moments later, the little dog was safely in Hall’s arms.
The puppy, later named Remi, was trembling with fear at first, but quickly relaxed once he realized he was finally safe.
“I couldn’t believe how small he actually was,” Hall said. “Maybe five pounds.”
Hall and Flores rushed him straight to Camino Pet Hospital, where veterinarians gave him a much-needed exam. Remi was diagnosed with non-contagious mange, and a treatment plan was started right away.
Despite his rough past, Remi’s gentle spirit shone through — he wagged his tail and seemed to know he was being cared for at last.
Not long after, The Forgotten Dog Foundation stepped in to help place Remi in a foster home. Surrounded by love and comfort, he’s now recovering both physically and emotionally, with the promise of a forever family ahead.
“He is safe now, getting everything he needs,” Hall said. “And, oh my goodness, he is the sweetest.”
Remi’s story isn’t over yet — he’s still waiting for his perfect adoptive home. But thanks to the rescuers who refused to give up on him, his future is bright.
Anyone interested in adopting Remi can reach out through The Forgotten Dog Foundation. To support more dogs like Remi, donations can be made to Logan’s Legacy 29 here, The Kris Kelly Foundation here, or The Forgotten Dog Foundation here.
