After a man had to admit himself to the hospital for a medical emergency, his dog was left alone in his car. Despite hospital staff checking on the pup regularly, it became evident that the situation required intervention. A rescue organization stepped in, finding a way to assist the dog and his unwell owner during this challenging time.
Scooter, a lovable mixed breed dog, considered his owner Enrique and their car as his entire world. However, when Enrique had to seek emergency care, there was no one available to care for Scooter. The duo found themselves alone, residing in a car, which was not an ideal place for Scooter to stay.
Even though hospital staff monitored Scooter daily, it became apparent that the situation was becoming dire. With Enrique in critical condition due to a stroke, he was not expected to be discharged anytime soon, and there were no friends available to care for the dog.
Fortunately, Frostedfaces, a rescue organization specializing in senior dogs like Scooter, collaborated with OC Animal Car to rescue the pup and provide essential veterinary care. Similar to his owner, Scooter was dealing with medical issues and is currently undergoing treatment for a respiratory infection in quarantine.
Despite the challenges faced by Scooter, he maintains a positive attitude, displaying a lovable demeanor and wishing for both himself and his owner to recover soon.
If you would like to contribute to Scooter’s medical care and that of other dogs in need, donations are accepted by Frosted Faces.
When individuals fall ill, the concern regarding the well-being of their cherished pets becomes a significant issue. Some individuals may forego necessary care due to limited options available for their beloved furry companions. Various charities are actively addressing this issue by offering temporary and emergency foster care for pets whose owners are hospitalized or facing housing challenges, as well as helping seniors find caring homes for their dogs.
In certain areas, animal services have partnered with organizations providing temporary housing and fostering for pets in need, ensuring that devoted pet owners do not have to surrender their animals permanently during housing, health, or employment crises. These initiatives acknowledge that difficult times arise, and the stress of worrying about pets can compound the emotional burden of making tough decisions.
We extend our well wishes to Scooter and Enrique for their recovery journey.
