CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WKRN) — She arrived with a note attached to her collar.

“My name is Lilo. Please love me.”

Lilo, a big, fluffy bear of a dog, was abandoned by her owner and ended up at the McKamey Animal Center in Chattanooga. According to the note, Lilo’s owner is homeless with two children and just couldn’t afford to keep taking care of her, so she brought her to MAC in the hopes that the center would be able “to be loved on” by someone who could afford her.

“She tried her best but can’t get help,” the note said. “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.”

1. 'abandoned' is not the right word here

the owner did the right thing when they realized the could not care for her and brought her to a proper place to try to get her a good home

in the end doing the right thing worked out nicely

8. No, it was the right word.

According to the shelter:

“Lilo arrived at MAC a few days ago after a Good Samaritan found her wandering with her leash still attached, likely near where you left her.

7. Vet costs have gone up 185%. Spaying a cat is $400.

Putting my old dog down was $300. Surgery osts thousands.

Too bad. Everyone is supposed to get pet insurance or go without.

Big corporations are buying out vetrrinary clinics and making veterinary medicine big business.

It's not only homeless that can't afford a dog.

9. So sad

I'm afraid there are far too many people in the same boat. Glad there is still some kind folks out there.
