  1. THANK YOU to the shelter, for understanding the love she had for Lilo. Reuniting them was SUCH a kind thing to do! There are FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE in our country, who cannot afford the basics. That dog was likely the HEART of that family—a Mom and her 2 kids. HOMELESS. And she could not afford to feed it or get vet care. I am bawling my eyes out. AMERICA PLEASE WAKE UP, we are destroying people in the name of GREED. Don’t avert your eyes to the problem!! WE USED TO BE BETTER THAN THIS! Now it’s all about the latest FAKE social media influencer and their fake, beige life. I HATE what we have become!

  2. Why doesn’t someone start a go fund me page for this lady we do animal rescue and I always have thousands of pounds of food available I would ship her enough food to Last that dog for a year and keeps applying it as long as she needed it and I also would contribute largely to a go fund me page.. Let me know what to do and I’m happy to do it where does she live what part of the country what state is she in we are in Ohio outside of Cleveland….
