Dog Waited Outside Empty Home For Weeks After Family Moved Away And Left Him

It’s hard to imagine how anyone could move away and easily leave their dog behind as if it were an old couch they not had use for.

But that’s what happened to Cupid, a sweet dog who was abandoned by his family in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. They removed of their house and left their four-legged loved one behind.

He didn’t have food or water. He couldn’t get into the house. He didn’t know where his family was or why he was suddenly on their lonesome .

He roamed the world for weeks, always returning to his “safe place:” the porch of the place he had called home.

It’s a heartbreaking story.
Thankfully, Janine Guido, the founding father of Speranza Animal Rescue, got a call about the abandoned dog and immediately began to rescue him.

But it wasn’t easy to urge Cupid to return to her. Guido approached him several times, but he was scared and unsure. just one occasion especially , he ran to the porch of his former home and pawed frantically at the door to urge in. But his family wasn’t there anymore.

It broke Guido’s heart to ascertain him desperately reaching out for the family that not loved him.
Multiple people had told Guido that the family had abandoned the dog, consistent with The Dodo. But that’s all Guido could determine .

Eventually, Guido was ready to coax the animal to her. Then she wrote a scathing post on Facebook directed at the family that abandoned Cupid, explaining what had happened since he was left behind:

“This is what your dog does, once you move out and leave him behind….”

“I got a call this afternoon regarding your dog. That has been roaming around Harrisburg since you removed . And more often than not he was seen lying on your porch.

“When i got there your dog was eating out of a dumpster. And once I tried to approach your dog he took off to his “safe place”.

“When I approached the doorstep , your dog frantically jumped up and scratched at the door – begging for you to let him in.

“Your dog then bolted once more , and spent alleys. faraway from me – the stranger trying to assist him.

“The next time I approached your dog on the porch he sat there. He wasn’t curious about my food. He wasnt curious about me. He wanted back inside your house. He once more clawed at your door, but nobody was there to let him in.

“I spoke to your dog and he would bark at me and once more took off down the road .

“The next time he came back to your porch i spoke to him and told him im here to assist . Help to urge him off the streets.

At that moment it had been like your dog understood. He didnt bolt. He walked up to me and sat down. Allowing me to leash him. Click Next to complete the story

“I cried as i put your dog into my car. And albeit I probably sounded crazy I explained to your dog what was happening the entire ride home.

“‘Im so sorry you were disappointed . But i hope you realize we are here to assist . And you'll never be left alone again.

“Welcome to the Family, Cupid ❤️'”
On the drive to the rescue, Guido explained to Cupid what was happening which he was getting to be cared for now.

He stole the hearts of staff at Speranza Animal Rescue once he arrived and has been well-loved and well-cared for there. He likes giving hugs and is consistently wagging his tail.

“He has been nothing but the sweetest gentleman since coming to the rescue,” Guido told The Dodo. “You can tell he’s still really confused. But he's happy to satisfy everyone with a wagging tail.”

Since Guido first posted about Cupid on Facebook, the rescue has gotten over 50 adoption requests for him. But Cupid isn't able to be adopted yet. He still has got to visit the vet and be neutered, and therefore the staff must get to understand him a touch better to work out any particular needs. as an example , they think he could be okay during a home with cats (since he was eating out of a dumpster with a cat during one rescue attempt), but they aren’t sure about dogs yet.
But albeit he’s not ready for his forever home, there are many animals who are.

“We know he’s super cute and he features a sad story, but so do many others,” Guido wrote on Facebook. “We have numerous amazing dogs that are available for adoption, please consider one among them.”

  1. I cannot believe that people can be so cruel and heartless to their pets by leaving them stranded, alone for whatever reason. There are many animal charities that would help without judging you and provide for the pets, but to just abandon a pet is cruel and heartless. Pets are loyal to their owners. Too bad owners are not always loyal to their pets.

  2. This is so 😥 sad.It leaves the Dog heartbroken and it wonders WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?THE SAME is true when a.Parent leaves their child .There is a lasting Psychological Scar that a young Child can't process.They view the World with DISTRUST,Sadness,and feel they weren't Good enough.Best medicine is to ADOPT A DOG OR CAT THAT WAS DUMPED. LIKE THEM.GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE TO LEARN TO LOVE, TRUST, AND DEPEND ON EACH OTHER.
