The odds were stacked against Stuart Little. When his former owners abandoned him outside when they moved away, he was a little pup who weighed less than five pounds.
After that, he wandered the streets of Los Angeles for three months in search of his humans.
Stuart was not able to get much rest because he was in survival mode. He remained vigilant at night and spent most of the day searching for food, frequently approaching people and begging for help.
One day, Stuart found himself approaching a neighborhood policeman while looking out for food. To at least receive some food, he raised his head toward the tall human like he had grown accustomed to doing over the previous few months. He had no idea how drastically his life was going to alter.
The moment that the policeman turned to face Stuart Little, he understood that the dog required assistance. He called Logan’s Legacy Rescue’s founder, Suzette Hall, and inquired about the availability of one additional dog. Hall jumped into her car and sped out to Stuart’s place.
By the time Hall picked him up, Stuart was exhausted but ecstatic to be in safe hands.
Hall said, “When I got him in the car, he literally climbed over the center console and crawled into my lap. He slept like that the entire night.”
The following morning, Hall took Stuart to the veterinarian. The little pup had no significant ailments that required medical treatment, other than being underweight and covered in fleas. So after a full bath and a brand-new feeding plan, Stuart Little was ready to move into a loving foster family.
Currently in foster care and available for adoption is Stuart Little. Stuart is enjoying this stage of his life even if he is still waiting for his happy ending.
“His foster says that he is just the happiest boy ever,” Hall added.
Stuart lives in a foster home with a puppy sibling who he adores. He adores his foster mother and all of their enjoyable activities, but he loves his new sanctuary the most.
“He loves his little crate,” according to Hall. “He goes into it every night and just falls asleep silently, quietly, with a full belly.”
