It’s heartbreaking how many dogs are abandoned every day. Left alone on the street, wondering why the person he loves most in the world no longer wants him. In some places, the situation is so bad that abandoned dogs can be found almost anywhere.

That’s exactly what happened when a man in Southern California, USA, found a random dog tied to the fence with a ticket.

Someone left him a note.

Surprised, he approached a puppy he had never seen before.

The dog raised its ears and wagged its tail, saying that someone was coming to help. Beside her was a small bag containing what appeared to be all her belongings and a handwritten note.

From the heartbreaking post:

“Free dog, needs a good home.”

Even the small dog that lived there was surprised to see this furry friend.

The man had no idea who left her there or how long she was tied to his fence, but he knew that she needed help.

He posted the photo of the little dog and a heartbreaking note on his social media, hoping someone would be able to help.

The post thankfully reached Suzette Hall, the founder of Logan’s Legacy dog rescue, in IrvineCalifornia. 

She immediately sprung to action and two of her volunteers drove as fast as they could to pick up this precious dog.

The dog still had a harness on and the bag was filled with her favorite toys and food. When Hall’s volunteers finally came, the dog was very happy and thankful to be rescued.

“She was so excited, she just melted in their arms,” Hall said.

Looking For A New Home

They took the dog, later named Halo, to Camino Pet Hospital to have her professionally checked up, according to Hall.

They found out that she was a four- to six-month-old Corgi/Sheltie mix. To their surprise, she was also completely healthy.

“She was spotless,” Hall noted. “She didn’t have a single flea on her.”

This was a clear sign that their previous owners did care for this dog, but for whatever reason, they had to give her up.

Why did they leave her tied to a random man’s fence rather than bring her to a safe shelter we will probably never know.

Halo was not even a year old, and she had already lived through a traumatic experience. Suzette promised to find her a loving home that she absolutely deserves.

“She’s just a love. I can’t wait for her to finally be home,” Hall said.

Halo hasn’t been adopted yet, but I am sure that a sweet girl such as her will find a good home very soon. One that will never abandon her on the side of the road.
