The LifeLine Animal
Project in Atlanta shared a heartbreaking story of a puppy that was found
abandoned on the street last month with a note from its previous owner.
“We found your dog
right where you left him in a space where he wouldn’t get hit by a car or harmed
when wandering freely in search of sanctuary,” the shelter’s post read.
The owner was commended
for his “brave act of self-sacrifice” by the rescue officials who assured him
that the puppy is receiving “veterinary care, food, water, and a roof over his
head” and offered to organize a reunion between the two.
Milo, according to his
owner’s note, was only eight and a half months old, loved cuddles, got on well
with other pets, and was fully vaccinated.
“To whom it may
concern: please do not judge me on this single act alone. I am simply a human
trying to do what is best for my puppy,” the devastated owner said.
“I am homeless and
cannot fulfill the duties needed to care for him. I have tried rehoming him and
searching for fosters. I cannot support him or myself. This is the only way I
know you can take him and he’s safe. He’s a sweetheart and very-well mannered
and trained.”
Milo and his owner’s
story gained people’s hearts on social media with many commenting on the
shelter’s page that they hoped the pair reunites.
“Milo is the sweetest! Thank you for this beautiful
post. I will be rooting for Milo and his owner, and hoping they can both find
safety, together,” one person wrote.
