A 10-year-old schnauzer-poodle mix, named Oreo, was dumped around the corner, with a heartbreaking letter pinned around his neck.
Oreo was left in the sun too long before being rescued by Richmond Animal Care and Control in Virginia, America. The elderly dog was very dehydrated and had he been around any longer he might have succumbed to heatstroke. The letter on his collar discovered by the team reads: “My name is Oreo. I am over 10 years old. I have anxiety. My owner died. I am very good. I need a house.
Richmond Animal Care and Control performed a medical exam for Oreo and found he could barely see or hear. Oreo’s story was shared on Facebook by a rescue worker in hopes that someone would see his outdated age and accept him into their home and heart.
“Get out your tissues and help us find Oreo a forever home. Officer Boone responded to a call for a dog tied to a post and found this old man with this note. Oreo can’t see or hear very well and needs a quiet home (no young children) and he seems to get along well with other quiet dogs,” the post read.
But three days after the charity took over Oreo, he found a new home in Fredericksburg where he now spends his days playing with his owner’s existing dog in a five-acre garden.
