A 4-year-old dog named Lilo has reunited with her owner after a Tennessee animal center shared a post about the German shepherd-Great Pyrenees mix on Facebook.
"Please keep my name. My name is Lilo. Please love me. My mom can't keep me and is homeless with 2 kids," the note began."She tried her best but can't get help. I cost too much for her. She really loves me & I'm a great dog & love to be loved on. Please don't abuse me."When Lilo was found by a good Samaritan, she had this handwritten note attached to her.
"It really hit us all, especially that last line of 'Please don't abuse me,'" Mann said."So we decided that we were going to take to social media and hopefully through the power of Facebook and everyone that's out there, we would hope that we could find her."Lilo and her owner were reunited this week after McKamey Animal Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee posted about the dog on their social media page.
"The initial ask was just, if you were her mom, to come forward, that we wanted to reunite Lilo with her family. It's very clear just by looking at Lilo that she was very well loved and cared for," Mann said."The times are tough and people just need kindness more than anything right now. And so we were just hoping that she would come forward."Lauren Mann of the McKamey Animal Center says Lilo is a "really great" dog with a sweet personality.
"We are working with some different partnering agencies in town and different nonprofits now, to try and get them set up into a pet-friendly shelter and get them back on their feet and just overcome the homelessness that they're experiencing," Mann said.that was established in Lilo's honor and which aims to help prevent family pets from being separated from their families.
