If you can't schedule in a good cry for yourself today, then maybe you shouldn't read this story… But if you are ready to have your heart feel warm and your eyes fill with tears that burst with faith in humanity, the carry on.
Lilo is a beautiful pup that an animal shelter in Chattanooga picked up. A good samaritan brought her in after finding her in a park, roaming around with her leash still attached, and a heartbreaking note attached to her collar. The note revealed that the previous owner was a homeless mom with two kids. She wrote that she loves Lilo very very much, but just couldn't provide for her and couldn't find anybody to help her with Lilo. So she left her in the park with the note in hopes that her beloved pet would find a new home.
When Lilo was taken to the animal shelter, the note absolutely broke the hearts of everybody there. They took to social media to post about Lilo. They vowed to her mother, where ever she was out there, that they will keep her name and they will find her a loving home. But they also added a plea to Lilo's mom, a plea asking her to come back, to stay with Lilo because she so clearly loves this dog and this dog loves her back. They vowed that if she came back for Lilo they will help with any funds she needs to keep this dog in her life.
Amazingly, the shelter was able to give the most beautiful update only a few days later! They located Lilo's mom, reunited them, and immediately went to work at raising the resources Lilo mom needed to keep her dog in her life and for them to tackle homelessness together. Lilo was a part of this family and it's our duty as a society to keep loving families of all shapes and sizes together whenever we can.
