Recently, the Missouri-based Stray Rescue of St. Louis received a call about a little puppy that was abandoned next to a dumpster open to the public.

The distressed puppy trembled until a Good Samaritan arrived and called for help. Thankfully, they arrived quickly to offer assistance.

 

They gave him the cutest name, though.

 

 

 

According to Natalie Thompson, a representative of Stray Rescue of St. Louis, “Shoestring was found by a sweet and kind person who was taking her trash out. She saw the puppy tied to the fence with a shoestring — hence how he got his name. He was shaking from nerves, so she called us, and sat with him until our team arrived.”

The adorable dog needed to get out of this predicament and into a decent home. Shoestring had a thorough examination by a veterinarian, a hearty meal, and lots of affection from Thompson and the team.

 

 

“He’s a sweet older puppy, in good health,” according to Thompson. “We’re not sure why he was tied up and abandoned.”

As soon as Shoestring sank into the reassuring arms of the rescue team, he forgot all about that day’s unpleasant events.

 

“Once he knew he was safe, he melted into a total lovebug,” Thompson remarked. “He loves other dogs and all people. He’s cuddly and kind and loves to play and wrestle.”

 

 

“He’s doing great,” Thompson said. “A loving foster family came to get him so he didn’t have to stay in our shelter, which is beyond full. There was no room for him to stay here, so we’re happy he’s loving life in his foster home and is so grateful to them.”

Shoestring will undoubtedly be treasured as a jewel when he finds his forever family.
