In Chattanooga, Tennessee, Lilo arrived at the McKamey Animal Center on Sunday after a Good Samaritan found her wandering with her leash still attached. A heartbreaking note had been attached to her collar.
In a public post on their Facebook page, entitled “A Note to Lilo’s Mom,” the heartbroken staff responded and wanted the woman to know that Lilo would be receiving the best of care. The staff however hoped the woman would return to reclaim Lilo, and told her the dog’s needs would be covered without any cost to her.
LILO DEFINITELY MISSES YOU, AND WE WOULD LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN TO SEE HER GO BACK TO THE FAMILY SHE LOVES. EITHER WAY, PLEASE KNOW THAT WE UNDERSTAND, WE WILL NOT JUDGE, AND WE ARE HERE TO HELP IN ANY WAY WE CAN

And then on Wednesday, the McKamey Animal Center thanked the community for their help and the emotional outreach of compassion for the woman’s plight and that of Lilo.
Who could ask for a better outcome?
We have an incredible update about Lilo to share with you all….her owner has been found!
While we can’t share a lot of the details with you yet, we are actively working with the family to set them up with a safe haven, shelter, and resources to stay together and tackle homelessness. We are thankful for everyone who has advocated for the family, and shared our post. We are amazed at the outpouring of support. It truly takes a community, and you all have certainly shown us how powerful ours is – thank you so much.
If Lilo’s story moved you, please consider being a hero for a homeless animal (or family!) in your local community
