Deanna Tsosie from the Navajo Nation Reservation in Arizona is a dog rescuer, body and soul. In February 2024, she receives a call.
Once again, a little furry friend is in distress and needs her help. Deanna sets off immediately.
In the car park
The puppy in need is in the car park of a DIY store. He is still so young that he should still be feeding on his mother’s milk.
The tiny puppy is perhaps four, at most five weeks old.
There is no sign of his mother or siblings for miles around. Everything points to the fact that someone has simply abandoned this adorable little bundle of fur.
Confidence-building measure
When Deanna arrives at the car park, the little guy is sitting next to a car. As soon as he sees the woman coming towards him, he flees under the vehicle.
With a little persuasion, however, Deanna quickly manages to gain the puppy’s trust.
He sticks his little nose out next to the tyre and looks at Deanna. A short time later, he willingly lets her pick him up and take him with her.
Confused little bear
Now the little dog needs a place to stay immediately. Deanna contacted AZ Hidden Jem Rescue (HJR) in Phoenix, the capital of Arizona.
The animal rescue organisation agreed to take in the puppy in need of protection immediately.
„When we saw the first video, we fell in love! He looked like a confused little bear“,
the HJR employees later described their first impression on Instagram.
With the foster mum
The little dog, now called Ace, is immediately taken to a veterinary clinic for a health check.
He suffers from mange, which suggests that he was neglected by his owners before they abandoned him.
Fortunately, the mange is easily treatable and the little furry friend has no other illnesses.
It didn’t take long for HJR to find a great foster mum for Ace, with whom he still lives today.
His mange is still being treated, but otherwise the little guy is enjoying every minute of his new life.
On the Instagram channel azhiddenjemrescue you can now see the adorable Ace for yourself in the video.
