Dog Abandoned With Heartbreaking Note Finds New Family
Last Updated: A homeless man left his dog and a letter in a park near Atlanta. In May, the dog found a foster home after receiving months of treatment and assistance. A five-year-old Pitbull-Boxer mix named Andre was discovered alone in Atlanta's Piedmont Park with a heartbreaking letter attached to his collar. The note explained, 'My dad is facing homelessness and has no one to take me. I am a really good dog. My dad's heart is broken, and no shelter will take me. Please treat Andre with love and kindness." According to People, the touching letter revealed that Andre's former owner was experiencing homelessness and could no longer care for him. Leaving the dog in a public park seemed to be a desperate, final attempt to give Andre a better chance at being noticed and rescued. Initially, a couple who came across Andre's story on Facebook took him in, helping to amplify his plight by sharing his photo and the heartfelt note online, though they couldn't keep him permanently. After seeing the post, Tara Borelli, an Atlanta nonprofit lawyer, felt compelled to lend a hand. She mentioned that the dog had been abandoned in late January, right before the snow started to fall. 'I saw this plea for help. Andre had been found tied up in a yard near Piedmont Park with a note pinned to his collar. I think his owner left him there for maximum visibility, hoping that someone would see him and take him to safety," Borelli told People. Borelli took care of Andre for a few months, but she was unable to keep him permanently because of her own dog's health problems. 'Andre was amazing," she remarked, describing the connection they had at the time. But to improve his chances of being adopted, she ultimately had to make the painful choice to place him with a shelter in April. Andre's story continued to gain traction with the help of Fulton County Animal Services and compassionate animal lovers in the area. By early May, the five-year-old Pitbull-Boxer mix found a foster home in Atlanta, where he'll stay for a month to ensure it's the right match. If all goes well, Andre will be officially adopted, marking a heartwarming end to a difficult journey that began in heartbreak and is now heading towards hope and healing. First Published:

Dog Discovered Abandoned In US With Emotional Note From Previous Owner
A Pitbull-Boxer mix dog was discovered in a park in Atlanta in January this year, abandoned with a letter from its previous owner. The five-year-old dog was temporarily adopted by a couple but they couldn't keep the dog permanently, PEOPLE reported. 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. 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. Ms Borelli claimed that despite the forecasters' advice to stay inside, she was unable to sit at home. "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. "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. The letter explained that the previous owner was homeless and unable to provide for the animal. Ms Borelli believed Andre's owner left him at the park for "maximum visibility," hoping someone would notice him and "take him to safety." 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. 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. Fulton County Animal Services collaborated with local animal lovers to find Andre a new home, as per PEOPLE. 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. Andre will be officially adopted if everything goes well.

Donald Trump-Loving CEO Makes Desperate Plea To President On CNN
Steven Borrelli, the Donald Trump-supporting CEO of Cuts Clothing, begged live on CNN on Monday for the president to just tell small businesses his plan when it comes to his trade policies — and then give them more time to adapt to them. Otherwise, Borrelli told 'The Lead' anchor Jake Tapper, Trump's tariffs could risk extinction for many companies across America. Borelli, who voted three times for Trump, said his California-based e-commerce business (which imports the products it sells in the U.S. from China, via Mexico) had been hit hard by the president's tariffs and the uncertainty surrounding their on-off-on-off nature. The businessman didn't disagree with Trump's aim of bringing manufacturing back to the United States, he said, but warned 'the speed' with which Trump was trying to force businesses to do so made it 'very difficult' for them to react. Tapper suggested Borelli directly address Trump, who boasted on launching the tariffs that foreign countries would be desperate to cut deals with the U.S. To date, no deals have been struck. Borelli agreed to issue a message to Trump, saying: 'President Trump, as a longtime supporter of your mission and to 'Make America Great Again,' I want to be a part of that with you, but e-commerce companies all across the United States, we need more time. Give us a 90-day off ramp to get off of our China goods and just tell us the plan. If you tell us the plan, we can operate and we can know what to do. The hard part about everything that's happening right now is we're trying to manage our businesses from day to day and that's very difficult. And a lot of small businesses, they don't have the cash flow to get through a 90-day negotiation and it's going to devastate a lot of businesses like Cuts.' Watch the interview here: Related...
