Amidst the scorching heat of a relentless summer, a compassionate rescuer from Stray Rescue of St. Louis received a concerning call about a young dog sleeping on a residential street. The caller, moved by the sight of the desperate pup, sent pictures to aid in assessing the situation.
Donna Lochmann, the chief life-saving officer, wasted no time and rushed to the location, determined to bring relief to the suffering dog. With keen eyes, she spotted the frail pup near a gutter, seeking solace from the heat.
As Lochmann approached, the heartbreaking reality of the situation unfolded before her. The poor dog, barely mustering the strength to lift his head, seemed to have given up hope. This sight stirred her emotions profoundly, and she knew she couldn’t leave him there.

Filled with compassion and a sense of purpose, Lochmann approached the forlorn canine and offered comfort and assurance. Surprisingly, the dog didn’t resist; instead, he mustered his last ounces of energy and walked toward the jeep, as if recognizing a savior had arrived.
Once inside the vehicle, the dog relaxed into the blankets, reveling in the cool air and newfound comfort. Lochmann affectionately named him Curby, a symbol of his resilient spirit, and took him to a foster home, where a couple had already expressed interest in adopting him.
The heartwarming journey continued as Curby found himself in the loving embrace of his foster family. With two doting parents and a canine sibling to snuggle with, he began to experience the love and care he had longed for.

His weight started to improve, testament to the tender care showered upon him. His foster parents couldn’t help but fall in love with the sweet-natured Curby, who had endured hardships but never lost his ability to trust and appreciate the love that had been offered to him.
In this loving foster home, Curby’s future is filled with hope and promise. He has proven that with compassion and a helping hand, even the most desperate souls can find a chance at a brighter tomorrow. The story of Curby, once a downtrodden and hopeless puppy, is now a testament to the transformative power of kindness and love
