A dog owner abandoned his dog in a church with a heartbreaking note saying he has no home and money for him.
A dog was found tied up inside Sacred Heart Church in Blackpool, Lancashire. The staff and worshippers spotted the poor dog with a note from his owner that read: ‘Please believe me when I say I haven’t done this easily.’
‘My dog means the world to me and I don’t know what else to do. I’ve no home or money now for him. Life has taken a really bad turn for me and I couldn’t imagine him being outside with me cold and hungry. He is a placid, friendly, loving dog.’
‘He will be seven-years-old on 22 March 2020. He has got quite tender front paws, I’ve been treating them for about a month now but they are still sore.’
‘My heart is broken and I will truly miss him more than words can say. I hope he can be found a new home he deserves. I love you and I am so so so sorry xxxx’
RSPCA inspector Will Lamping took the dog to a vet for a check-up. The dog has been named Cracker and is currently living at a private boarding kennels.
Mr. Lamping said It was very sad to read the note but sometimes life can be really tough for some people.
He said he wants to assure the owner that Cracker is doing well and will be put for adoption if no one claims him. He said: “I’d really like to reassure them that he’s doing well and is getting lots of TLC. If no one comes forward to claim him then he’ll go to one of our rehoming centres and we’ll find him a wonderful new home.”
Mr. Lamping also said that if someone is struggling to look after their pet, please reach out to a local rescue centre or charity, or one of the national charities like the RSPCA.
He added: “And if you’re having difficulties with finances, housing or find yourself homeless then there are people who can help you. Please just ask for help. We are not here to judge you and simply want the best for you and your animals.”
