Abandoned Puppy Found With Heartbreaking Note Around Neck, Tied By The Owner

Oct 12, 2018

In West Michigan, an adorable puppy was left to fend for itself after its owner had abandoned it. You will soon find out the real reason behind the abandonment, and it's another heartbreaking story in itself. So much so, it has caused alarm at a local animal rescue.

Meet Ghost, a 6-month-old purebred Coonhound. She was found wandering in the busy streets of Grand Rapids, MI. When the saddened pup was found and given to Luvnpupz, a non-profit animal rescue, a volunteer had found a note attached to its collar that was protected with a plastic case.

Scrawled on the note with red marker said, “I am lost and looking for a home — my owner had a stroke and can not care for me. Please don't take me to a shelter, I am a purebred Coonhound 6 months old, please find home.”

That raised even more concern for the animal rescuers, so they decided to post an online plea to help find Ghost's mysterious owner.

So far, Luvnpupz had zero luck in finding the owner, but they did receive backlash from other users online that expressed their opinions on the matter. You see, many people didn't think it was necessary for the animal rescue to even consider seeking the owner because of their neglect.

But, Luvnpupz had stated that they just wanted to see if there was a way for Ghost to be able to live with her owner again, albeit with some assistance or some other type of support. If the owner refuses their suggestion, then they just wanted to give that person a peace of mind and let them know that their dog will be in good hands regardless of what home she ends up going to.

Sweet little Ghost has already gotten plenty of adoption offers from locals online. But, the animal rescue has a 30-day hold policy for their rescued animals and many will just have to wait until then. Luvnpupz is still hoping they can find the dog's former owner before time runs out.

They also promised to keep the owner's name anonymous if they ever did show up at their doorstep to officially surrender the pup to the organization's care. Alas, the owner hasn't come forward yet and no one else seems to know who this person is.

Luvnpupz continued to post pictures of the cute abandoned Coonhound puppy and had updated everyone with her progress. Your heart will melt after seeing her sad puppy eyes, long and lanky legs and adorable face.

So far, they had revealed that Ghost is adapting extremely well to her new environment at the organization and she is getting along swimmingly well with her new foster puppy friends. The animal rescue had also thanked everyone who had recently sent donations and tons of goodies for Ghost and the other rescues.

Do you think Ghost should reunite with her previous owner? Let us know your thoughts, and don't forget to spread this article around so that everyone can see the importance of animal rescues and shelters.
