The most heartbreaking experience a young boy can go through is being separated from his best friend. But sometimes, when we love someone, we have to make the ultimate sacrifice. This is what a 12-year-old boy from Mexico did. He gave up his dog because his father hits his beloved pet.
A boy’s love
Refugio Xollin, a rescue shelter based in Michoacan, Mexico, shared a photo of the Pit Bull puppy who was left outside their facility. The rescue organization said that the young dog was found inside a box with a toy and a note inside.
They added that the note was written by a boy named Andres. The boy wrote that he and his mom decided to level the dog in the shelter’s care because they are hiding him from his dad, who is planning to sell him. He also said that his father was abusive to the dog and mistreated him. One time, the father kicked the dog so hard that he injured his tail.
Andres ended the note by saying that he left the dog a toy so that he would never forget him.
Rene
Ever since the dog was left outside their shelter, the non-profit organization has taken in the young pup, which they named Rene. They evaluated the puppy and gave it treatment for its fractured tail. They are going to keep the dog until he is well enough, physically and mentally, to be given to a new home.
After posting the photos, more than 300 people have already signified their interest in adopting him. They will undergo a highly-scrutinized adoption process to ensure that Rene will go to a good family who will fully love and care for him.
The shelter is happy with the attention that Rene is getting. But they are also hoping that this attention would also shift towards the other animals they have in their care. They currently have 120 homeless dogs living in their facility.
