Three puppies were found at a shelter in Mexico tucked up inside a cardboard box – with a text explaining the heartbreaking reason why he’d had to give up the animal.
On February 13th, a shelter in Mexico found an adorable puppy at their doorstep with a text. The shelter said on their Facebook page: “Someone left this dog at the door of the shelter, inside a box, with a text. The note was written by a kid and he explained his dad was planning to sell him and mama’s this dog was ᴅ.ᴇ.ᴀ.ᴅ. So, in such a state of ᴅᴇsᴘᴀɪʀ, he left the dog here to save him.” The note came from a young boy, who said he’d had to hide the dog from his dad, who had been ᴍɪsᴛʀᴇᴀᴛɪɴɢ the poor creature after the mother dog ᴅ.ᴇ.ᴀ.ᴅ.
One morning, Andrés was coming home from school and a noise caught his attention. Walking along the road was a kind and generous boy. As Andrés walked along the road he heard noises from the box. A movement could be heard inside. Andrés went after the noise and what he saw made him feel sorry for the puppies. There were three puppies left in the box. The words written on the box of dogs touched Andrés: “No time to take care of them, their mom is ᴅ.ᴇ.ᴀ.ᴅ.” It looked like the puppies were in desperate need. In addition to feeding and freeing the puppies from this box, he immediately took them to her house.
Soon after, the boy informed the local rescue center so that the three dogs could be better cared for there. After researching, they learned that the uncle came from a poor family, and the owner had a habit of often ᴍɪsᴛʀᴇᴀᴛɪɴɢ the dogs. The son in the family saved the dogs by taking them to a better place. A person said: “I just hope that someone helps that boy and three dogs. And that maybe he can get his puppy back. For that little boy to do what he did he has a huge heart.”
The shelter named the dog Rene. They are looking for the right family for the puppy—they have many choices because they got over 300 messages from people wanting to adopt this beautiful pup. An update from a shelter in Mexico explained that it had been inundated by requests to adopt the dogs, reminding people that it has 120 other animals at the shelter that people can also help. The rescuers added: “If everyone opened their heart and their home like this little dog, they would have adopted all our dogs from the shelter.”
Thankfully, the dog is on his way to a healthy recovery, so hopefully, it won’t be long before he finds his new forever home.
