Update! Rescued by Grand-Paws Senior Sanctuary
An elderly dog, 17 years of age, is perhaps the saddest surrendered dog you have ever seen. The senior dog, named Angel, was surrendered on February 27 by her owner who could no longer afford the veterinary costs.
Angel’s advocate writes:
17 yo spayed female 3-1/2 pounds.
Surrendered by owner who could no longer afford medical. According to owner, Little Angel has an ulcerated mammary tumor and a paralyzed leg. She’s back in the medical department receiving extra care so she can use some help being seen.
A video taken at the Los Angeles Animal Services, East Valley shelter, shows Angel with her head down in her bed…sad, confused and seemingly lost.

OMG: that poor precious little treasure…… I wish I was local…… my heart is breaking for her…… I just want to snuggle her and reassure her that the world is ok…….
If I was in that area, (I live in Seattle) I would foster this precious treasure in a heartbeat. She would get lots of snuggles to reassure her that the world is OK!!! My husband and I specifically adopt older animals. Senior pets are fantastic companions and show their love every chance they have…… But sadly, I don’t think we are in the “majority” of adopters…..
Do they really think there is a long line of potential adopters for an elderly, medically fragile furbaby???
It is heartbreaking to think of seniors being euthanized when they should be with their family…… to me, the worst fate is to be euthanized alone, afraid, in pain and unloved…….
This shelter is a high kill shelter…… I hope local rescues can help out……. absolutely heartbreaking how an animal’s fate depends entirely on which shelter it ends up in…..
BTW: it doesn’t appear that this poor precious little treasure has had much veterinary care for her ailments……
Per Facebook, rescued!!!
WHAT HAS HAPENED TO ANGEL? SHE IS NO LONGER LISTED!
WE JUST RECEIVED THE POSTING TODAY!
