When Caryn, a devoted rescuer, logged into her Facebook account, she stumbled upon a heart-wrenching post about a group of puppies confined in an abandoned property nearby.
Working with the Humane Society of Mason County (HSMC), Caryn felt compelled to act. After realizing that authorities were slow to respond, she decided to take matters into her own hands and investigate the situation herself.
Not On My Watch
Upon her arrival, Caryn was overwhelmed with emotion as she witnessed the dire conditions these innocent pups were living in. She couldn’t hold back her tears.
“They were found abandoned, living in squalid conditions,” shared the Humane Society of Mason County in a video about the pups.
The dogs were trapped in a filthy, overgrown backyard littered with debris and hazardous items. Among the six dogs were two particularly lovable ones, Hank and Scooby.
After the authorities arrived, they authorized Caryn to coordinate the rescue of the dogs. Thankfully, she quickly arranged for the pups to be taken to safety. One dog went to People for Animal Care and Kindness, while the others were cared for by HSMC.
In no time, Mason County found a loving foster home for a pup named Brutus, while Scooby, Hank, and their friends were welcomed by a wonderful foster mom named Donna.
Patience Is Key
As days turned into weeks, Tucker and Ringo were fortunate enough to find permanent homes. Unfortunately, Scooby and Hank struggled to adjust due to their traumatic past, making it difficult for them to trust humans.
“Both boys were incredibly timid around new people, but they thrived in the presence of other dogs, which helped boost their confidence,” a representative from HSMC told The Dodo.
Nonetheless, the dedicated rescuers remained hopeful, knowing that the right families would eventually come along. Just a few months later, Scooby found his forever home!
“After 182 days with HSMC, Scooby has finally found his forever family! He adores his canine brother, and his new owners are dedicated to providing him with all the time he needs to feel secure,” the representative announced.
Now, only Hank remains. Given the remarkable progress he has made since his rescue, everyone believes that his forever home is just around the corner.
“Hank has made incredible strides in his foster home, gaining confidence every day. He plays well with his older canine sister, who has arthritis, and enjoys racing around the yard with younger pups,” shared the HSMC representative.
If you’re interested in giving Hank a loving home, please visit the Humane Society of Mason County for adoption details. Good luck, Hank!
