“We had no choice.\u201d<\/h2>\n
\n

When employees at Arizona Humane Society (AHS) noticed someone tied up in the parking lot of their Sunnyslope campus, their stomachs dropped. Pets being abandoned outside shelters is sadly not an uncommon occurrence, but this time was different. The pup\u2019s former family had left a note.<\/p>\n

\n

When the employees read what the note had to say, their hearts broke.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with heavy heart that we had to result to this, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we had no choice,\u201d the note read. \u201cThis is Armando (Mando). He is 4 years old, Husky Labrador Mix. He has had his shots but might need them soon. He\u2019s very friendly with dogs and people. He is prone to ear infections. We pray he finds a good home. God bless.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Armando\u2019s family, who clearly loved him so much, wanted to make sure that whoever found him knew just how special their boy was. While leaving him in the parking lot wasn\u2019t ideal, the AHS employees could see without a shadow of a doubt that Armando had been a beloved member of his former family. Life just got in the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to the loving note he was left with, it was clear to see that this sweet pup was well cared for by his previous family as he appeared to be in great condition when he was found,\u201d Kelsey Dickerson, public information officer at AHS, told The Dodo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Armando was just as sad as his family was that he was no longer with them. He wasn\u2019t sure what was going on, so the AHS staff did their best to help him adjust and feel safe again.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstandably, Armando was a bit shy and confused when he was initially discovered; however with a little time as well as lots of patience (and hot dogs!), he quickly warmed up while in the shelter,\u201d Dickerson said. \u201cAs stated in the note he was found with, Armando is an incredibly sweet boy who loves getting attention from people and playing with other dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The shelter environment was a big change from the loving home Armando had come from \u2014 but luckily, he wasn\u2019t there long. On Christmas Eve, Armando was adopted into his forever family, and he\u2019s been thriving ever since.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been playing nonstop with his new dog sister, and she has even been sharing \u2018her couch\u2019 with him in between playing tug-of-war in the backyard,\u201d Dickerson said. \u201cHis new family said it\u2019s like he has been living with them since forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Armando\u2019s former family didn\u2019t want to give him up. Their hearts are still breaking, but hopefully they\u2019ll be comforted to know that he\u2019s being loved.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to help other dogs like Armando, you can donate to AHS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
