A GPS tracker on an injured dog led us to a den full of puppies!
What do you think, should I hire Rebecca??? The credit for the clever idea that saved this whole family belongs to Rebecca Walker. She is a school teacher, but when she spotted Sherlock and Olivia searching for food, she felt that Olivia was hiding babies somewhere. Rebecca couldn’t touch Olivia, who was pretty shy, but Sherlock was friendly and enjoyed human contact. Rebecca had an idea, and she placed an Apple Airtag on him, but because this was in a rural area, there were not enough signals marking his location. She then ordered a GPS tracker, and that did the trick! She found the location, and even though Hope For Paws is located 4 hours south of that location, she reached out to us for help. I gave Sherlock his name because I needed a name for the computer at the hospital so pain meds could be prescribed. I figured since smart detective work was needed here, he should have this name. 😊 I arrived at the rescue location the night before the actual rescue because he needed pain medication for his injured leg. Rebecca didn’t think it would be a good idea for me to approach the den (it was completely dark there in the middle of nowhere), and she was concerned the family would move the puppies to a new location. I agreed, handed her the medication, and drove away. Rebecca gave Sherlock the medication so he could sleep pain-free that night. The following day, Katie, Kai, Rebecca, and I met at the rescue location to save the whole family. True Disney fans would know how the name Olivia came up, and the babies… well, they were all born in an agricultural area, so we named the SEVEN FEMALES: Strawbery, Lemon, Kiwi, Mango, Peaches, Cherry, and Clementine. The ONLY BOY was named Banana. 😄 Rescues like this are possible only thanks to our supporters, who enable us to drive these long distances with all the needed equipment and get all of them the best medical care. Sherlock needed orthopedic surgery, Olivia was spayed, and the puppies will all be fixed as soon as they are old enough.
