Animals are intelligent creatures, but like humans, they do need assistance from time to time.

A man from Alabama named Calvin Tucker has been rescuing animals for three years. In September 2019, he found a poor puppy desperately in need of help on the highway and took him to the vet for the long road to recovery. After some time in a foster home, Wrinkles has found his forever home due to the amazing efforts of Calvin Tucker.

Calvin Tucker has been rescuing animals for three years. In the year 2017, Tucker found a young, feeble kitten near his workplace looking for help. He admitted that although he did not like cats at that time, something about the small kitten made him want to help.

He told The Dodo,

"The way he looked at me, it touched my heart. So I went back inside and got some crackers and fed them to him...The next day, when I got there, he was waiting for me at 7 a.m."

These short visits soon blossomed into a bond between Tucker and the kitten. He eventually adopted the kitten and named him Henry. After this adorable rescue, Tucker has successfully helped 123 cats in addition to other animals. In his spare time every day, Tucker feeds the local cats, keeping them alive and well with the hope of getting them adopted someday.

Last September, Tucker came across another animal that needed help. Speaking again with The Dodo, he explained his story:

"It was Friday evening, and I was heading home and for whatever reason, something just spoke to me and told me to get off the expressway about six exits before my home. When I got off the freeway and turned on the main highway, I saw Wrinkles immediately. He was in the middle of the road, he was scared, cars were coming, honking at him."

This event shows Tucker's sixth sense for finding distressed animals excellently. With a heart of gold, Tucker helped this poor puppy off the road by luring him with a can of food. In the same interview, he stated, 

"I sat there with him for about 15 to 20 minutes. He was in bad condition. About 98 percent of his hair was gone and the only thing you saw were wrinkles."

After rescuing this puppy, Tucker took him to a foster home where a nice, warm bath was drawn for Wrinkles. The following day, Tucker took Wrinkles to the local vet and as it turns out, the poor puppy had a variety of health ailments such as fever, worms, parasites, and mange.

Despite the puppy's ailments, Wrinkles had a very cool and sweet demeanor.

"He laid on the table and we just looked into each other's eyes and the only thing I saw was that he was happy to be off the streets. You could just see the gratitude in his eyes the way he looked at me—he was just at total peace," as told to The Dodo.

Wrinkles stayed over the weekend at the veterinary hospital to receive the proper treatment for his various conditions. Upon being released, he would then be sent to a foster home to begin a new life.

"The foster said that he was the sweetest dog that they had ever fostered," Tucker told The Dodo. "He got along excellent from day one with her other fosters, he was running around and playing with them and enjoying himself."

After six months, Wrinkles was able to grow a new set of fur and now has a gorgeous, black coat. After this rescue, Tucker contacted his friends at an animal rescue in Alabama named Two By Two Animal Rescue. They were able to find Wrinkles a permanent home where he would be loved and cherished forever onwards.

"They did a home visit and the people came out and met him and when they met him it was just love at first sight, both ways," Tucker claimed to The Dodo.

This successful rescue story was only possible due to Tucker's amazing sixth sense for finding distressed animals.
