Pawsitive Update: Sky the dog found abandoned with note about owner's homelessness

A Delaware animal shelter has found an underfed dog abandoned outside its facility with a note that says its owner became homeless and could no longer care for it.

The News Journal reports the female terrier mix named Sky was found Wednesday outside the Delaware Humane Association in Wilmington.

The note says the dog is 6 years old and "not sick, just hungry, very friendly." It asks the shelter to please take care of Sky. Shelter Director Kerry Flanagan Bruni says Sky is about 20 pounds underweight.

Tests results about possible parasites are pending. The shelter says Sky will be held several days and then fostered.

I hope that the owner left the dog out of love.

This, and having kids with allergies, are probably just about the only reasons I'm okay with surrendering your own pet to a shelter.

We had an owner who lived in her car surrender a cat, after the first one died. We usually dont take in community cats (we have a long ass waiting list) but the owner was crying, and so we took her. She loved Sunny, but couldnt take care of her. No judgement from me. Sunny ended up going to a great home.

At least she cared enough to surrender the cat. Most people just dump them.
