This emotional story about a little dog comes to us from our friends at AOL. This is all too often the crossroads families find themselves in when their beloved pets are in need of medical care they just cannot afford. This is the story of a paralyzed Chihuahua and how her owners did the right thing in taking the selfless path…and gave her up.

From Little Things:

The owners of a paralyzed Chihuahua mix recently found themselves faced with an incredibly tough decision: Let their beloved pup suffer, or drop her off at a shelter where she can get the help that they simply can’t afford.

According to WTSP, the maintenance supervisor at Tampa Bay’s Humane Society, Lon Savini, found Genie Wednesday morning on the steps of the building with the saddest handwritten note explaining why she was there.

It read, “Please help my Genie. Genie is paralyzed from I believe her hips to her hind legs. I tried to manage her pain with medications from her vet but they only ease her pain and she needs surgery. I cannot afford so I ask that the Animal Health Center heal her and find her a loving forever home. Thank you.”

It’s good to know there are people in this world that take the time to care for those that cannot be cared for otherwise. Comforting to know that humanity can never fully be lost as long as they are still around.
