An exclusive rescue mission unfolded recently, saving an abandoned French Bulldog left in a precarious position on a rooftop. Paris, a 2-year-old Frenchie, was discovered in a shopping cart atop an unbarricaded building in downtown Los Angeles. The dog was at risk of rolling off the high spot, prompting a security guard to take action. The guard contacted Joey Tuccio, an animal rescuer from Starts with One Today, to aid in the rescue operation.
Joey Tuccio shared with PEOPLE the harrowing ordeal that Paris had endured. The Frenchie was found alone on the roof under the scorching sun, with no access to water or food. Thanks to the vigilant security guard, Paris was saved from potential harm. With assistance from Wild Horizon Rescue, the dog underwent necessary vetting procedures before being transferred to a temporary foster home.
During the vet examination, it was discovered that Paris was suffering from conjunctivitis and was underweight. Despite these challenges, Paris’s resilient spirit shone through as she quickly adapted to her new environment and began to trust humans. According to Tuccio, Paris is now in search of a forever home in the Los Angeles area where she can receive the love and care she deserves.
Starts with One Today highlighted the prevalence of abandoned pets in the Los Angeles area, often due to the struggles faced by unhoused individuals, including drug addiction. Tuccio emphasised the importance of adoption and fostering in saving lives and urged potential pet owners to consider rescuing animals in need.
Paris, described as a special angel by Tuccio, has captured the hearts of those involved in her rescue. Despite her past hardships, Paris remains hopeful and is eager to find a loving family to call her own. Wild Horizon Rescue is managing inquiries from those interested in adopting Paris, while Starts with One Today continues its life-saving work in the community.
The heartwarming story of Paris’s rescue serves as a reminder of the countless animals waiting for a second chance at a better life. The organisation’s efforts to bring attention to the plight of abandoned pets and promote adoption over purchasing animals from breeders have resonated with animal lovers worldwide.
As Paris embarks on her journey to find a permanent home, her story serves as a beacon of hope for other vulnerable animals in need of a loving family. The touching rescue of this resilient Frenchie showcases the power of compassion and underscores the importance of giving abandoned pets a new lease on life.
