Someone Found These 2 Huskies Abandoned At A Dog Park With A Heartbreaking Note
While other pups were running and playing with their owners at Woodward Dog Park in Fresno, CA, two 1-year-old huskies named Jada and Leyla sat alone and afraid. They had been abandoned there, left with nothing but a box of food, some toys, and a solemn note pleading for the husky dogs not to be split up. When park manager Mona Ahmed got the call, she was there right away and learned from bystanders that the poor abandoned animals had been there for 3 hours, which already posed a risk to their safety. “They could have jumped the fence and gotten hit by a car,” Ahmed told The Dodo. “There is a very busy road right in front of the dog park. The speed limit is 50, but people go 65 or more.”
Luckily, Jada and Leyla are now in the care of a loving foster mother and are searching for a forever home. For Ahmed, however, it’s a bittersweet victory, as it speaks to a persistent problem. “This makes me feel angry. This is not the way you give your pet dogs away. All they had to do was ask for help,” she stated.
If you find yourself in a situation where you can no longer care for your pet, do right by them and contact your local animal shelter. On the contrary, if you’re looking to expand your family, find out how you can adopt Jada and Leyla by contacting Mona Ahmed’s non-profit organization, Fresno Furry Friends.

Not enough information for me to feel angry. Sad, absolutely, but just as bad things happen to animals, bad things happen to good people. For all we know, leaving them abandoned in a park with that note might have only been giving them a better chance for a better life. It's hard to believe, but assuming that we would have done any better in their situation just because maybe we think we love animals more than this owner did, is only going to contribute to a world of anger.

We found one of our dogs tied to a tree outside a mental facility where my husband worked security. No food, no water, no note. It was late at night and nobody in the facility claimed her. My husband gave her water and went to work. When my husband got off work the next morning, she was still there, so he brought her home. She had a bad case of heartworms, we lived in an area rife with poverty, and there wasn't even an animal shelter that served the area, but the vet always took in heard-luck cases and leaving an animal to just die slowly tied to a tree is inexcusable. At least these people left food, toys, and a note and left the dogs in a place dog lovers frequent.

Angry.......No. Sad, yes. Clearly Ahmed doesn't understand that some people are to proud or to ashamed to ask for help. Or just unsure of the role of a animal shelter, they might have believed the dogs would be put down. It is sad, but it could be much much worse.

I volunteer at a shelter and see many desperate people ask for help and get turned away. I ended up with a tomcat because the owner's landlord was forcing her to get rid of him, and the shelter had a wait list several weeks long! Don't know what she would have done if I hadn't taken him. Asking for help doesn't always help, sadly.
