When a person abandons their dog in a shelter, they are asked to explain the reason why they can no longer take care of the animal.
The reasons range from “I can’t afford it” to “My landlord doesn’t allow dogs”.
However, when an elderly grandfather came to the local veterinary clinic with his 10-12-year-old dog, he asked the veterinarian to do something unimaginable.
The dog’s owner asked the veterinarian to euthanize the animal because he no longer wanted to take care of her. The dog looked at the veterinarian and the staff with beautiful eyes, and they could not fulfill the person’s request.
The veterinary service called the former dog rescue service in Georgia and asked if they could pick up the dog. A volunteer named Melissa went to the clinic to find out what was going on.
“I asked why they wanted to put him to sleep,” Melissa wrote on Facebook. “The dog belonged to someone else… after the death of the original owner, the dog was moved from place to place until it was reunited with its current family.
They told me that she pisses on the floor all the time, that they already have two other dogs and that her grandchildren simply don’t care. »
The man’s granddaughter looked Melissa in the eye and said: “We just don’t like her very much. We prefer our other dogs. All the while Melissa was watching the dog wagging its tail.
She decided to greet him. It was dirty and greasy, with some “bumps and bumps on older women” and eye problems. Melissa held back tears as people walked away from the fragile 30-pound dog.
Today the dog is being taken care of by the Old Dog Home Rescue, where he began to tremble and get scared. She ate a big meal, curled up for a nap, and Melissa promised her that she would never be abandoned again.
They called her Holly and now he is happily ever after.
