Not only were the family able to leave Toots behind with the panicked look on her face, but they went one-step further than that.
Animal advocate and shelter volunteer, Andrea Neyses, told the dog’s story after witnessing Toots being left behind: “Today I saw the most selfish of humans! Going on vacation in a week or so giving up their family member Toots who they adopted six years ago in Hawaii.
“That’s not the worst of it; they got a new dog they are taking with them.
“Who can look in her face and know you’re their whole world and still walk away?,”questioned Andrea. “You have a real nice vacation. I bit my lip.”
There’s since been a big drive to help find Toots a loving forever home, with a family that won’t leave her behind in a shelter when they decide they don’t want to be bothered anymore.
As a result, we’re aiming to help the drive. At the very least, the aim is to find Toots a qualified rescue organisation as quickly as possible. With the San Bernardino Animal Shelter being a high kill facility, the dog’s life could be at risk if there’s no place found soon.
