Electrician Discovers Two Pups In Trouble While Working At Abandoned House

Imagine stumbling upon two scared puppies hiding in an abandoned yard, barely clinging to life.

What happens when a compassionate electrician and a dedicated rescue team step in to change their fate?

A Heartfelt Rescue

Marc, a DTE electrician, was on the job near an abandoned house when he noticed two pairs of eyes peeking at him from a distance.

Curious, he moved closer and found a bonded pair of young dogs sitting in the backyard.

One appeared to be injured, and both were visibly malnourished, looking far too thin for their age.

Marc slowly approached the pups, hoping to gain their trust, but they were understandably frightened. Though he wanted to help, they kept their distance, too scared to come any closer.

“I normally keep treats on my truck but I ran out…they wanted to trust me but they just weren’t sure,” Marc wrote, commenting on the DPCDR post.

Realizing he couldn’t do it alone, he contacted Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue, a non-profit known for rescuing injured and sick strays.

The DPCDR team, led by director Theresa Sumpter, responded swiftly and arrived at the scene that same day.

Neighbors informed them that local children had been feeding the dogs, but they were strays living on the streets without a proper home.

“He reported that one of the pups was injured and both were thin. We went to the location and neighbors reported that some kids had been feeding these dogs but that they were strays,” DPCDR shared.

For about 30 minutes, the dogs hesitated, unsure whether to approach Sumpter and her team. But with patience, gentle words, and some much-needed treats, the pups slowly began to warm up.

Eventually, they allowed themselves to be rescued, trusting the team that had come to save them.

The Road To Recovery

Once safely in a crate, Sumpter took the dogs to a vet for a thorough checkup.

Though they were now out of harm’s way, both dogs remained shy and uncertain, likely never having experienced the safety of a home before.

The team knew it would take time for the dogs, later named Grace and Mercy, to adjust to their new environment.

The team suspected that Grace and Mercy had spent most of their lives on the streets, with little to no socialization.

Life as strays had left them timid and wary of humans. However, with time, love, and consistent care, the transformation began.

Two weeks after their rescue, an incredible change occurred. Grace and Mercy started to come out of their shells, becoming comfortable around their caregivers. Their fear melted away, replaced by trust and affection.

They blossomed into playful, loving dogs, eager for human interaction.

It became clear that all they needed was a little bit of love and patience to rebuild their trust in humans. Now that Grace and Mercy have fully adapted, they are ready to move on to the next chapter of their lives.

Both pups will soon be available for adoption, eager to find the loving homes they truly deserve.
