Woman spots starving gecko abandoned in an aquarium outside a vacant apartment, she takes her in to nurse her back to health, woman says: 'I have to help her!'

Not all people deserve to raise pets, certainly not those who leave them behind to their fate when they move out.

It's like a recurring chorus at that point, but that of a disharmonious and anger-inducing cacophony - yet another person moved out and left their pet behind. Despite the happy endings we report about, the thought of what instigated this story in the first place makes us legit angry. How could anyone abandon their pet? When you adopt a dog, a cat, or any other animal, it's not like you're purchasing a piece of furniture to decorate your home, to be discarded when you want a new one. Animals are sentient, feeling creatures, with thoughts, feelings, and a great ability to feel pain - especially when it's caused by the people who held their trust.

This one brave gecko survived despite just that - she was abandoned by tenants who moved out and, for some unfathomable reason, decided to leave her tank outside the front door in the scorching heat. Just a little more time there, and her time would've been up for good. But luckily for this sweet and starving gecko, this one woman passed by and took the time to look inside the tank and spot her. She was skin and bones, but the woman was not about to give up on her.

And we just want to give a big kudos to people like this woman, who dedicate their time and energy (and sometimes a lot of money, too) to save animals in need. She deserves all the good things she wants to come her way. What an amazing person.
