A ten-year-old black dog suffered a selfish and contradictory act when she was abandoned by her family outside a shelter. Although many would applaud the fact that they left her in that place and not in a dangerous place, the way in which she was abandoned broke the hearts of the shelter workers, because her act was shameful and outrageous.

Trembling and distressed, the furry girl was received in a plastic bag. Yeah! As sad as it may sound, that was the cruel way her former owners chose to leave her.

Apparently they immobilized her so that the dog would not follow them or stain the upholstery of the vehicle in which they transported her. But that justification only made the matter a more reprehensible act.

The situation broke the hearts of the people who helped her that afternoon.

These are the employees of Saving Carson Shelter Dogs , who couldn’t hold back the urge to cry when they saw the dog wrapped in plastic and inside a cardboard box.

Neither parcel nor old junk, it was an animal that these people decided to leave at the shelter.

The saddest thing of all was realizing that the little animal was really sick.

Blackie had a tumor that had grown so large that it was bleeding, which is why her family had decided to leave her at the shelter.

According to a worker, the people claimed they did not have the resources to take her to a veterinarian and cover her treatment. But when they were asked to be responsible for the expenses, they did not want to keep the animal either.

At that moment everyone knew that it was necessary to receive the dog.

Her family had turned their back on her and the shelter was not going to do the same, for that reason they welcomed her with great affection.

The first thing was to take it out of the bag and give it a bath, they needed to prevent the tumor from getting infected. Luckily the dog turned out to be quite grateful and docile, and she allowed herself to be checked and attended to without any problem.

Perhaps she believed that after the bath her owners would come back for her.

The shelter couldn’t keep her but they decided to call their colleagues at the Frosted Faces Foundation  in San Diego, California, who took care of the dog.

In this place, Blackie was very well received and put into treatment to treat her tumor. Finally it had to be removed and the procedure was carried out successfully at  High Valley Veterinary Hospital.

Everything went very well for the dog.

After the operation, Blackie had to rest and her caregivers showered her with attention and affection.

Blackie is so little, she wants to be held tight and just wants everything to be okay, because she keeps looking to us for recognition and approval,” the FFF wrote on Facebook.

After a few weeks of post-operative care, this girl recovered and was put up for adoption. Luckily it wasn’t long before someone became interested in her.

Blackie went home to a forever family today. She is a little ball of fire and ready for a new life.

“We are so proud to place Blackie with such a loving family who has stellar references,” the foundation said.

That dog that some people handed over as a worthless package at the doors of a shelter finally has the love and recognition she deserves. It is a shame that that family did not value Blackie after years of dedication and loyalty, but the positive thing is that now the furry one is in the right place and has overcome his illness.

So much pain and bad moments are part of the past, the dog was happy again. Her story shows us how important and rewarding adoption is. And what are you waiting for to adopt?
