Meet Rusty. This tiny boy's story plays out over and over in my mind, and it's heartbreaking because I can actually feel the emotion and desperation of the officer who called me that fateful day.
"Is this Hoardin' Huskies? (panting) This is Sergeant ... from ...County Sheriff's Department in ... County, Texas. We were called out to a dog being attacked in the area, and when we got here, there was a pit bull on top of this husky, literally trying to kill him. We had no choice but to shoot. (completely out of breath, desperate.) The husky just wiggled his way out from under the dog, but was so scared that he ran off into the woods. His right, front leg is just dangling. If we are able to catch him, will your rescue take him?"
48 hours later, Rusty was on the table of our surgeon. $5k later, he's been through surgery, painful bandage changes, and still is afraid to put much weight on that leg, but he is learning to trust and love. Rusty is finally ready for a calm, understanding, and loving family to call his own. To keep him safe so that he never has to go through anything like that again. Is it you?
