A family had to make a tough decision and surrender their two dogs at an animal shelter because they couldn’t afford to take care of them anymore.
When Toby and his brother AJ arrived at Carson Animal Shelter the two dogs didn’t know their family will leave them.
The two dogs were happy until they were separated and realized they were away from everything they knew. Instead of being home, they were now in a cold kennel surrounded by strangers.
The shelter explained that the two dogs were doing great while they were walking on a leash next to each other. At the same time, they were confused because they missed their family and home. The shelter also started an online campaign to save the two dogs.
