The puppy was tied to a pole outside of a Philadelphia shelter and left with a brief note.
“Good Puppy. House Broken. Don’t Have A Name,” read the handwritten message, which also said the dog is a pit bull-mastiff mix born Dec. 15, 2023.
A clinic nurse found the dog the morning of May 8 and told her co-workers at the Pennsylvania SPCA that the pup appeared terrified.
