The letter shared the owner’s struggle, explaining that he no longer cared for Andre and hoped someone would give him a second chance.
The remaining heartbreaking note, a five-year-old Pitbull-Boxer mixture named Andre, reveals the pain of a pet owner facing the homeless. Andre found alone in Piedmont Park in Atlanta that the information related to his collar reads: “My father faces homelessness and no one can take me. I am a very good dog. My father’s heart is sad, there is no shelter, no shelter.
The letter shared the owner’s struggle, explaining that he no longer cared for Andre and hoped someone would give him a second chance. Leaving him in the park seemed like a desperate attempt to get Andre to notice and save.
After his story was shared on Facebook, a couple briefly brought in Andre and helped spread the word. Those who saw the position included Atlanta nonprofit attorney Tara Borelli. She was moved deeply and decided to step in. Borelli explained that Andre was abandoned in late January (just before the snowfall) and was likely to be placed in a visible place, allowing someone to quickly find him.
Although Borelli cared for Andre for several months and called him “amazing”, she eventually had to put him in the shelter in April due to her dog’s health problems.
Andre’s journey is not over. Andre found a foster home in early May with the help of Fulton County animal services and community support. He will be there for a month to make sure it fits well. If everything goes well, Andre will be officially adopted.
