The staff at the Senatobia-Tate County Animal Shelter in Mississippi said that the separation of a homeless teenager and his dog last week has ended with a lot of support and a reunion. A photo of a sad-looking 4-month old dog lying on the floor was uploaded to the shelter's Facebook page and shared more than 2,000 times as of Monday, April 11. The April 5 post states that she layed there after her owner gave her a plastic bag of dog food and a blanket. Kris Robinson, the interim shelter director, said that the dog had just been surrendered to the shelter by her owner, a 17-year-old boy who told shelter staff he was living under a bridge in Tate County and couldn't afford to care for his dog. When he left, I could see him wiping his face from behind, and it broke my heart. The dog was upset. She got up on a chair and looked out the window. Robinson said she wanted to share the story on Facebook to tell the community about the sad separation she had just witnessed and also commend the boy for his commitment to ensuring that his dog was well cared for. She didn't expect what happened next. She said that she wanted to share that because she was touched by what he did. The shelter got calls and messages from all over the country asking how they could help the boy and his dog. She said, "I think it's awesome and it makes me proud of this community." A local family offered to take in the teenager and his dog after the shelter received a few thousand dollars in donations. She said that the family is working with a city attorney to get temporary custody of the teenager, and that they plan to help him finish high school and apply to community college. The department did not immediately respond to a request for additional information, but they wrote on Facebook that officers found the teen, who is now safe. The shelter will give the family a year of flea and tick medicine and help get the dog neutered. She said that the dog is still living at the shelter and will get to go home with her owner as soon as he settles in with his new family. Robinson said that the teenager has been back to visit her once since dropping her off at the shelter. She said that she kissed him and he picked her up and hugged her.
