Dog Writes A Heartbreaking Facebook Post After He Was Left At The Shelter By His Family

| Published on February 7, 2016

We’ve seen heartbreaking videos and read stories about dogs who are abandoned by their owners or left at a shelter. But unlike the ones who are left by the shelter by their uncaring, insensitive owners, the dogs in the photos & video below were loved.

The dogs named Thor and Sara Lee were heartbroken when their owner left them at the Hoke County Animal Shelter in Raeford, North Carolina.

The dog in the photo below is Thor.

The dog in the video below is Sara Lee–the other dog who was left at the shelter together with Thor.

Sarah Lee wanted to show off a little! Before this little video she caught about 8 in a row! They are both so sweet! I promise to keep you all updated! Thanks so much! ♡♡♡Kristi

Their owner didn’t want to leave them, but unfortunately, their family fell on hard times.

After trying so hard to find family or friends who can take care of their dogs, and begging them for help, he had no other choice but to leave his dogs at the shelter and let the shelter care for them.

This was what Thor posted on Facebook,

I lost my family today so please excuse me if I’m not my normal happy go lucky self. I am a little scared…..so many noises, new smells, and people I do not know. Even though I am scared I was taught to love and be kind so I kiss everyones faces even though all I want is my daddy to come take me back home.
I watched my daddy leave with tears in his eyes…. He was so pained to have to leave us behind. I heard him making phone calls pleading with family and friends for help….but no one had the room to take us in and now I don’t think I will ever see my daddy again….. See, he fell on hard times as people often do and I heard him say that the house was foreclosed on. He waited until the very last minute to bring us here to the shelter in hopes that something or someone would be able to help…..see he was hoping on a miracle….one that never came. He told me to be a good boy as he kissed me on my forehead and told me that he loved me. He said a new family would come for me and told me to treat them with the love and loyalty I have always shown him and that is what I will do. My daddy wants you all to know that I am a good boy….a gentle soul with so much love to give! He took me to the doggy vet often and even got me neutered. I am here with my bestest friend in the world…Little Sara Lee. She is such a gem and we have always leaned on each other for comfort and love and that is what we are doing now. The ladies here said they will get some pretty pictures of her soon so you can all see how pretty she is and because they said we are such sweet babies and we need a family to love us. Would you mind sharing my picture with your friends? Maybe my new master is searching for me right now……that’s what I am hoping anyway…. I am beginning to wonder if this thing called miracles is real….my daddy said it was and told me not to ever lose hope. Anyways, give the girls at the shelter a call if you would like to make me part of your family.

Love, Thor.”

I cried so hard after reading the entire post. My heart broke when I read the part when their daddy kissed him before he left and told him to be a good boy.

I hope they will see each other again. For now, Thor and Sara Lee are available for adoption at the Hoke County Animal Shelter. We are hoping that they can find a loving family who will adopt them together.
