Robbie, a small dog, waited for three weeks outside a busy Dollar General in Houston. The tiny brown dog was hiding under a chair, hoping that someone would spot him.
Kristin Erwin realized that Robbie needed her help as soon as she saw it.
Erwin told The Dodo, “I thought he was the loveliest thing, with chubby little legs. It broke my heart to learn that he was only three weeks old.
Erwin, who is often involved in dog rescues, saw Robbie running through a local parking lot.
Erwin went inside the Dollar General and asked the clerk if she knew anything about Robbie’s tale because he was curious as to why the cute puppy was by himself. Erwin was skeptical despite the cashier’s assurances that Robbie would be picked up later. Erwin gave the cashier her phone information and requested to be informed if Robbie’s caregiver failed to arrive. Erwin got a text shortly after that confirming her suspicions: Robbie’s caregiver had not arrived.
Erwin ran to the Dollar General, even though it was getting dark.
Robbie was eventually coaxed into Erwin’s car by the friendly clerk and Erwin used rewards, and he was soon warm and secure in her house.
Erwin provided Robbie with the time and space he needed for him to adjust to his new surroundings. Erwin initially believed Robbie was afraid of lack of activity. Erwin came to realize that Robbie was a laid-back man as she got to get to know him more.
Erwin said that “he was totally at ease, eating and sleeping.” Robbie has since been relocated to a loving foster home with assistance from Lola’s Lucky Day, where he will remain until he is ready to find his forever family.
Robbie, who was initially uncertain about the story of his life, can now take comfort in knowing that he will soon have his own long-term, dedicated home.
