Dog found tied and abandoned to tree in the cold with note and all of his belongings

The poor thing waited for his owner’s return but it never came.

People give up their pets for all different reasons- and only a small percent of them are excusable.

A lot of the time, it comes down to the owner no longer having the time or patience to look after their pet, with many giving up their pets when they have their first baby.

Often, when rescuers arrive on the scene, they don’t know why the dog has been abandoned, or where it has come from. Most of the time, they don’t even know its name.

For this reason, rescuers are glad when the dog’s previous owner at least leaves a note to explain the basics.
