One Family Decides They Can’t Take Care Of Their Dog, Drops Him Off At Shelter With Toys And Bed

ADVERTISEMENT

The world is filled with poor little animals who don’t have a home and are in desperate need of love and affection. But it is good to know that there are also a lot of people who are willing to give their time and energy in order to help these poor creatures. MCCAC West Adoptable Dogs is a shelter that is filled with generous and loving people who will do anything to help lonely dogs.

Recently “MCACC West adoptable dogs” shelter posted a heartbreaking message about one lonely dog

In their post, they shared the story of Wall-E, a 6-year-old dog, who was left behind because his owners weren’t able to take care of him.

“This guy deserves a forever family who won’t give up on him. Please don’t bash his previous owners though. We don’t know the whole story. What we do know is the owner was heartbroken and crying. It was hard to finally help them leave. The staff was crying with the owners. We don’t believe this decision was taken lightly.”

The shelter later explained that Wall-E’s family didn’t have enough time for him and he would spend most of the time alone in his kennel. “One of our volunteers that run this page put together the post, another volunteer had taken the picture of wall-e getting surrendered. We know it would get a lot of attention because of how sad it was but never thought it would become so huge!”, the shelter told Bored Panda.

In order to find Wall-E a new home, the shelter had the idea to share an adorable video showing how beautiful and fun he is

 

ADOPTED 11/25/18
❤️WALL-E❤️

He is the sweetest lab mix !
Good on leash
5-6 years old
Potty trained
So well behaved
Good with kids
Scared in play group ( must have dog intro )

Wall-e was dropped off by his owner. They said they had no time for him. They brought his bed and all his toys with him and dropped them all off with him.

Unfortunately none of his stuff is with him now and he’s been at the shelter for months. This poor guy does not deserve this 💔💔💔

Not long after the shelter uploaded a photo with the heartwarming comment “Wall-E Adopted!”

Wall-E was adopted by a loving and caring family that couldn’t resist the dog’s adorable eyes. The owner Lynn Lee says she was moved by Wall-E’s story and went to the shelter right away.

Now he is enjoying life surrounded by loving and caring people that would do anything to make him feel safe. ” Wall-e is doing great.. his new family posts videos of him almost every day on the original thread that was shared.”

Thanks to this wonderful organization it only took one day for this adorable creature to find a home. He now enjoys cuddling and going to the park with his new loving family.

Must absolutely be one of the hardest decisions to make - akin to giving a child up for adoption because you are unable to give it the care it needs and deserves. Too many people maybe hold onto animals because they cannot bear to part with them, but the animal suffers from isolation and imprisonment (home alone most of the day and no excercise) and sadly often neglect. Never judge someone giving up a healthy animal to a shelter for adoption and a better life than they can provide due to circumstances. Only judge those who just abandon their animals or keep them in pitiful conditions, neglected, miserable and uncared for.

The previous family at least put the dogs needs and happiness first and did a responsible thing. That shows how much they did care for him. Good luck to Wall-E and his new humans.

It is better to leave an animal in a shelter than dump him in a river or in a forest. As an animal lover with a lot of experience in animal help I will always respect people who has a courage to bring a pet to a shelter and give up an animal in a CIVILIZED way. Not living it in a forest, highway or dumping them over the shelter fence at night (happens too many times..) and leaving till morning with injuries that it caused...
