It is stories like this that remind us how many great people are out there in the world. Lilo, a German shepherd-Great Pyrenees mix, was brought into the McKamey Animal Center in Chattanooga, Tenn. last week after someone found her.
The note on her collar read like this…
My name is Lilo. Please love me. My mom can’t keep me and is homeless with 2 kids. She tried her best but can’t get help. I cost too much for her. She really loves me and I’m a great dog and loved to be loved on. Please don’t abuse me.
The shelter was actually hoping to find this mother and her children, the writers of the note, and see if there was anything they can do to help.
They are currently working with a couple different agencies to better their at home situation to ensure that this mother and her family are taken care of. In the meantime, Lilo will be staying at the shelter until their family is ready to take the pup home.
The thing that struck the staff at the shelter the most was just how much they cared for and would miss their dog. That’s why they wanted to do something to get them all reunited. Very awesome of the staff!
In fact, they are using this story to now help other pets as well!! This is from MSN.com.
In honor of Lilo, McKamey sent up a fund dedicated “to preventing as many families as possible from being separated from their beloved pets.” Mann said places like McKamey have pet food pantries and other services to lower the cost of caring for a pet, as when people are struggling financially, their first option is to get rid of their pet.
A story was done by a local news station and it will absolutely make you smile!
