Story of Dog in Tennessee Reunited with Homeless Owner Is Beyond Touching
An animal center is now working to keep them together.
A beautiful German Shepherd mix by the name of Lilo was found wandering the streets of Chattanooga, Tennessee with a note attached to her asking for someone to please look after her. A good samaritan brought Lilo into the shelter, and what happened next was nothing sort of amazing.
McKamey Animal Center posted the story to their Facebook page. Warning, you might want to get your Kleenex ready. This story is total proof that there is so much good in the world.
The post reads in part, "While we can't share a lot of the details with you yet, we are actively working with the family to set them up with a safe haven, shelter, and resources to stay together and tackle homelessness."
The comments on this story are as wonderful as the story itself. "This is amazing!!! Now everyone go to your local shelter and follow through with your foster and adoption offers!! There are thousands of dogs just like Lilo waiting for a family of their own! be the change you want to see in the world!," says Erin Nelsen. "As someone who works with an unsheltered community, thank you. Thank you for not judging her initially and thank you for helping and just thank you.I will do anything to keep our unsheltered folks and their pets together. Their pets literally give them a reason to stay alive," adds Paige Berhow.
This is the original post that explains how Lilo came to the shelter.
The animal shelter posted this message to their Facebook page.
"We want you to know she is safe, and we will take the very best care of her. She will be loved by our staff and volunteers, we will keep her name, and we promise you we will do our best to find her a wonderful new home. But if you are reading this, we hope you will come forward to reclaim her. We will help you with whatever you need to care for her, to the best of our ability. Lilo definitely misses you, and we would like nothing more than to see her go back to the family she loves. Either way, please know that we understand, we will not judge, and we are here to help in any way we can."
What a truly beautiful story and a truly beautiful outcome for this dog and her family.
