Tiny Stray Is Too Terrified To Leave Her Hiding Place, So Rescuers Hatch A Genius Plan

Sometimes, you just have to get creative in your animal-rescuing efforts.

When two women spotted a tiny white dog hiding under their parked car, they naturally tried to help her.

But this little Westie, obviously a stray due to her dirty fur and apparent fear of humans, absolutely refused to budge.

The women tried coaxing her out but nothing worked. This little dog just didn’t trust anyone, and only felt safe in her hiding place.

That’s when the women called in help; they rang up Hope for Paws and when the rescuers arrived, they gave the little guy a very patriotic name: America.

They had some ideas as to how to get America free but first, they did something very smart:

There was a chance that the terrified little pup would bolt the instant human hands got close to her, so the team rigged up a makeshift “net,” so-to-speak.

They erected a plastic fence around the car so if America should attempt to escape, she’d run into the harmless blockade.

Once the fence was in place, they stuck a leash under the car, but that wasn’t working because the little dog just kept shying away from it.

Plus, she was so small that even when they did get the leash on, it just slipped right off again!

Finally, one of the rescuers was able to reach the scared animal and pull her out; thankfully, America didn’t struggle or whine. She knew they were there to help!

The team brought her to the vet, where America got what might’ve been her first bath ever, and then she transformed into one of the most playful, adorable pups you’ve ever seen.

Now she’s off the streets and hopefully, she’ll have her forever home before long.

As I said, sometimes you just have to get creative when doing the right thing. 🙂
