“I love them so much. Please take care of them and find them a nice home.”
As the Pennsylvania SPCA clinic prepared to open for the day, a staffer noticed something unusual. Outside the shelter was a small pink crate with a note attached, written on lined paper.
“I love them so much,” read part of the note. “Please take care of them and find them a nice home.”
Beneath the note, two pairs of sad eyes peered out from the crate. Bella and Bobby, a tiny dog duo, cowered inside.
The concerned staffer brought Bella and Bobby into the shelter, providing them with food, water, and comfortable bedding. News of the abandoned dogs quickly spread throughout the SPCA.
“Everyone who read Bella and Bobby’s note had the same reaction — how sad and horrible to have to give up your dogs,” a representative from the Pennsylvania SPCA said. “Unfortunately, it is something that seems to be happening more and more.”
Despite their initial fear, Bella and Bobby soon adapted to life at the shelter, grateful to have each other for comfort. “They have funny little personalities,” the representative said. “While they were scared at first, when they warmed up to our staff, all they wanted was to be in laps. They also wanted to always be together. We could tell immediately that they were bonded and should not be separated.”
Eventually, Bella and Bobby were transferred to Envi Dog Rescue and Sanctuary. Safe at the sanctuary, the pair are now meeting lots of new friends as they wait for the perfect person to adopt them and give them a loving home.
