German Shepherd Rudd was left to fend for himself as he walked the streets of Franklin, Indiana, writing in a collar-fastened bottle. He was sitting under a tree, not knowing what to do, when someone noticed him and decided to help.
They contacted Johnson County Animal Control, and Director Michael Delp rushed to pick him up.
The post said that Rudy loved and cared for his family, but that his father had lost his job because of COVID-19: he would soon lose their home.
The dog was perfectly healthy, he just needed a home. After the investigation, it turned out that it was right that the owner was in a really difficult time, they reached out to that person to get the help he needed.
And it was Jeremy Pell, the White River Township Fire Chief, the reserve sheriff who saw Rudy on the news, who thought he would be perfect for opening search and rescue dogs. She went to the shelter, the good girl passed all the tests, and thus gained a new life
Rudy now moves in with Rosie Grace, going to work every day with her new father. He sleeps at his desk, working on his social skills, obedience training when the time is right.
It’s still in the early stages of training, but they hope that Rosie Grace will one day be able to work with her father in the community. Amazing!
