The note continued: ‘My mom can’t keep me and is homeless with 2 kids. She tried her best but can’t get help.’

Lilo, a 4-year-old German shepherd-Great Pyrenees mix, was found wandering the streets of Chattanooga, Tenn., alone. All she had with her was a leash and collar — which had a heartbreaking handwritten note attached to it.

“Please keep my name. My name is Lilo,” the note read. “Please love me. My mom can’t keep me and is homeless with 2 kids. She tried her best but can’t get help. I cost too much for her.”

“She really loves me and I’m a great dog and love to be loved on,” the note continued. “Please don’t abuse me.” [ ]

Lilo’s mom and two young children are currently staying somewhere that does not allow animals, Mann said, and shelter staff are working with the Family Justice Center, as well as a local pet-friendly shelter to get the family relocated promptly. Lilo, meanwhile, will stay at the shelter as long as is needed, until she can go live with her family again.
