Calvin was driving back to his house when he felt compelled to take a different route than usual. This happened when he observed a large number of police cars and an animal control truck nearby. The animal rescuer decided to follow his instincts and take an alternative path.
He was astonished to find a stray dog lying pathetically by the side of the road when he decided to check on the traffic jam. Calvin spoke with the authorities at the scene because he knew the dog would be euthanized if the police and animal control took control of the matter.
Because he was scared, the dog struggled to walk on his broken leg as he desperately attempted to flee from everyone who tried to come near him. Calvin comforted the stray dog. He also ensured that the dog would be taken to the shelter after the seven-day hold period of animal control had expired, as animal control had already captured the stray dog.
Calvin requested his friend Kendahl to accompany him to evaluate the dog because he knows she fosters many animals. Kendahl consented to accompany Calvin, and upon seeing the poor dog they named Ike, she determined that he required immediate surgery for its fractured leg.
Ike was staying at a humane society that lacked the finances to pay for his operation. Calvin was able to pay for Ike’s leg amputation surgery after several weeks of tireless fundraising.
As Ike recovered from his surgery, Kendahl eventually took him in as a foster pet. Kendahl stated that Ike was initially fearful and emotionally withdrawn when he first arrived at his new home, but after weeks of trying to win him over with love and goodies, she was able to glimpse Ike’s wonderful personality.
We are hoping that you get your forever home soon, Ike!
