Dog Tied To Pole & Abandoned With Note Attached Begs Homeless Woman To Save Him

Joey was abandoned by his irresponsible owner, who tied him to a pole in the park. He had a note attached to his collar, which read “I am looking for a home, please take care of me!!”. The dog was so scared that his barks seemed aggressive to many strangers.

Lisa was heartbroken at the poor dog’s plight, but no one came forward to help him. The kind woman refused to turn a blind eye to Joey, and decided to take him to the nearest shelter on her own!

Lisa walked through the cold, rainy night for 3 miles to find a shelter that was ready to help Joey. Finally, “FORTE Animal Rescue” took the dumped dog in and promised to find him a new home.

Lisa felt reassured and returned to her van, not knowing that her selfless act of kindness was soon going to change her life!
