Meta Description: A sick puppy named Panda was found hiding under a car in Los Angeles, battling parvovirus and on the brink of death. Thanks to Logan’s Legacy 29, he was rescued, treated, and adopted into a loving forever home.

A Heartbreaking Discovery in Los Angeles

On a warm summer evening in Los Angeles, California, rescuers received a call that would change a puppy’s life forever. Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy 29, is no stranger to heartbreaking rescue cases, but this one felt especially dire.

Residents in LA’s Watts neighborhood had spotted a small dog lying under a car. Despite their best efforts to coax him out, the puppy refused to move. To them, it seemed as though he had already given up on life.

“He waited under a car in Watts for a day,” Hall later wrote. “We thought he was injured.”

A Puppy Who Had Lost All Hope

When Hall’s volunteer, Arturo, arrived at the scene, he immediately saw the pain in the puppy’s eyes. The dog looked completely shut down, showing no signs of hope or trust.

“He had given up hope,” Hall shared. 💔

But Arturo was determined not to give up on him. With patience and care, he slid a slip leash under the car, gently securing the frightened pup. Once safely in a crate, the dog was praised for his bravery as he was transported to Camino Pet Hospital for urgent evaluation.

The Hidden Illness: Parvovirus

At first, rescuers believed the dog might be physically injured. But veterinarians soon discovered the real problem—he was battling parvovirus, a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease in puppies.

“[The] poor baby is really sick with parvovirus,” Hall wrote. “[He’s] just a puppy.”

Hall named the pup Panda, and his condition was critical. Treatment would be long and expensive, but the rescue team refused to give up.

A Community Comes Together

Thanks to the supporters of Logan’s Legacy 29, Panda received the full course of medical care he desperately needed. Donations covered his costly treatments, and day by day, Panda’s strength began to return.

Two weeks later, he completed his final round of medication—and was officially declared parvovirus-free.

“Another miracle,” Hall wrote, celebrating with a photo of Panda’s first big smile since his rescue.

From Rescue to Forever Home

Once his health was restored, Panda transitioned to a foster-to-adopt home, where he quickly discovered the joys of being part of a family. He bonded instantly with his new humans and even found a furry brother to play with.

Within just a few weeks, his foster family made the decision to adopt him permanently.

“He’s adopted!” Hall joyfully shared. “Panda is officially in his forever home, soaking up all the love and attention he deserves.”

Panda’s Happy Ending

From a hopeless pup hiding under a car to a thriving, happy dog in a forever home, Panda’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of animal rescue and community support.

Hall summed it up perfectly:
“His foster family fell in love and couldn’t let him go.”

Today, Panda no longer knows fear or sickness—only love, playtime, and the comfort of a family who will never abandon him again.
