PEOPLE<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In an attempt to get help, they shared a photo of Andre on Facebook, showing the dog with the message his previous owner left pinned to his collar.<\/p>\n
Tara Borelli, a nonprofit attorney, said she noticed the Facebook post about Andre, who was abandoned near a famous park in Atlanta. The incident reportedly took place after snow began to fall in Atlanta in late January.<\/p>\n
Ms Borelli claimed that despite the forecasters’ advice to stay inside, she was unable to sit at home.<\/p>\n
“I saw this appeal for assistance. A message had been pinned to Andre’s collar when he was found tied up in a garden close to Piedmont Park,” Ms Borelli told PEOPLE.<\/p>\n
“My dad is homeless and has no one to take me. I’m a very good dog. No shelter will take me, and my dad’s heart is devastated. Please be polite and loving to Andre,” the note read.<\/p>\n
The letter explained that the previous owner was homeless and unable to provide for the animal.<\/p>\n
Ms Borelli believed Andre’s owner left him at the park for “maximum visibility,” hoping someone would notice him and “take him to safety.”<\/p>\n
Despite knowing she won’t be able to keep Andre permanently due to her own dog’s health problems, Ms Borelli took care of him for months.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although Andre was “amazing” to care for, Ms Borelli had to make the difficult choice to place the dog at a shelter in April to find him a permanent home.<\/p>\n
Fulton County Animal Services collaborated with local animal lovers to find Andre a new home, as per PEOPLE.<\/p>\n
In early May, Andre’s gentle attitude and the support of the community helped him find a new home in Atlanta. The family intends to foster Andre for a month to make sure everything works out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Andre will be officially adopted if everything goes well.<\/p>\n
