Some abandoned puppies make it to their rescuers. Brady, a 4 month old puppy, was blessed.
A family in St. Louis was shocked when Brady showed up to take a nap on their porch one afternoon. The family was quick to jump in and help the puppy as soon as they saw him on their stoop.
According to Donna Lochmann, the chief lifesaving officer at Stray Rescue of St. Louis, “They’re animal-lovers and didn’t want to turn him away. So they gave us a call.”
Lochamnn was shocked at how relaxed Lochamnn was when she arrived on the scene.
“He had no other littermates, no other dogs around him, nothing,” according to Lochmann. “But he somehow knew that [people] weren’t bad.”
Brady accepted to carry Lochmann to her car within minutes of her first meeting him. He was only 18-pounds and was comfortable being carried by someone else. Lochmann noticed that Brady knew she was there for him.
Brady made new friends and passed a thorough veterinary exam.
“He opened up to everybody here right off the bat,” Lochmann said. “He didn’t really seem timid or scared.”
Brady was eligible for foster care after he had received all the shots. The shelter workers didn’t anticipate the speed at which the procedure would take place.
“He wasn’t here at the shelter for long,” Lochmann said. “He found his foster home very quickly.”
Brady is currently in foster care. He is receiving the individualized attention he deserves from his family. In a Facebook post, Brady’s foster parent said that when he’s not playing with toys and cuddling, he likes to greet people he sees on his walks.
The shelter staff are optimistic that Brady will be adopted soon. They are happy that Brady is being fostered and can develop into the happy, social dog they were meant to be.
