Dog Dumped on the Curb with Discarded Furniture

A dog found abandoned on a curb is awaiting a permanent home after his owners left him behind when moving out of their Michigan home, reports say.

A photo showed Ollie the dog sitting on a chair, surrounded by garbage on a Detroit corner earlier this month. The 2-year-old dog was emaciated and suffered a broken leg when he was discovered, according to a You Caring fundraiser for the dog started by the Detroit Animal Welfare Group.

"He waited for his family to come back. And they didn't want him. They didn't come back for him," Terri Looby told WXYZ of the dog's owners, who allegedly took their smaller pup with them when they moved away. "They did come back for the little dog and then left Ollie."

The dog is now in the care of the non-profit animal rescue group, and has been placed with a foster owner while he undergoes treatment for a broken femur, WXYZ reports.

He was expected to undergo surgery to repair his leg on Saturday, DAWG officials wrote in a Facebook post. The fundraiser was created to help cover expenses related to repairing the dog's femur. It has reached twice its original goal of $2,500.

"Ollie Loo was left with the trash when his family moved out. Left to survive the freezing Detroit temps with a broken leg and emaciation," officials wrote on the page. "Please help us save his leg."

Another dog experienced a similar situation in October. A pooch named Boo was also left on a curb along with his family's discarded furniture in Detroit. He was later taken in by a local dog rescue.

How can people do this ...???

really pisses me off ... I got my cat after it was dumped in the country side ( my sister's place) and the previous one was moving day ( July 1st here ) .

:mad:

you need to be banned! stop stalking me! are you slow??? :helpme:helpme years of this mess! you are loons!!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Hope it goes to a good home!

There are perfectly good places to leave dogs you no longer want. So why abandon them like this?

Too fucking lazy to go to the Pet Shelter.

When Eva's Mother passed away, we took her dog. He's the most annoying creature in the world. But we could never abandon him. He's a live animal with feelings.

they charge a few to drop off animals here. single dogs, cats and critters is $60. the county charges $96 for strays

It's like you're talking to yourself, brasshat. Since this is how everyone on gfy thinks of you :thumbsup :1orglaugh

This is why I now have 7 rescues.

Who gets charged for strays?

$60 is nothing to makes sure an animal is cared for properly.

No charge for strays. The red tape for even the simplest of things just keeps increasing so government can make more money for things that were already naked in the system. Does it ever end?

Obviously the dog didn't pay his rent and got evicted
