For Leilani Slocumb, that day seemed like any other day. She was on her way home after dropping her kids off at school.
She had no idea that her day would go very differently from how she had planned it.
She was shocked to see a strange person waiting for her at the front door of her Georgian home as she was walking up to it. He was curled up on a doormat and looked at her with eyes full of hope.
Asking For Help
When Slocumb got closer, she saw that the dog had picked her house. She then asked her family for help. It broke her heart to see how badly he was hurt. The scared dog, who was later called Bo, wasn’t getting enough food.
He got up and hunched in the grass when he saw Slocumb coming toward him. He thought she was going to chase him away.
Bo was really hungry, so Slocumb gave him some food. He began eating right away when he saw it. After his first bite, he looked at the person who had helped him and was thankful. He was sure he made the right choice.
The puppy seemed very at ease in his new environment after he had eaten.
He got a bath from Slocumb’s husband and her stepdaughter. Slocumb called the doctor and set up a time to see him. She really wanted Bo to get checked out by a doctor right away.
Bo felt better knowing that his family was taking care of him.
It looks like he’s getting along with us better now, Slocumb wrote on TikTok.
His Owners Gave Him Up
No changes were made to Bo’s health while he was at the vet. The nice dog was told he had mange and had to take medicines. Other than that, he was fine.
Bo would spend the day at the vet’s office while he tried to get in touch with his owners after being scanned and having a microchip found.
That dog’s owner was looking for him, and the vet thought they would be thrilled to hear that he had been found. However, the vet was sad and upset as soon as he called them.
The dog’s owners told Bo that they no longer wanted him. After giving him up for six months, they gave him to someone else whose name they didn’t know.
A New Beginning
Slocumb went to see Bo the next day. Upon hearing that the cute dog had no one to care for him, she chose to take him home and make sure he was taken care of.
Slocumb chose to adopt Bo with her family. They thought he was meant to come into their lives and make them different forever.
Bo was very happy. His tail would not stop moving. There were other dogs in the world besides the cute one. He was finally loved and cared for by someone.
In Georgia, Bo found a loving family and a place to live for good. This makes me happy. His family got a best friend for life. They’ll show him love that he hasn’t felt in a long time. He’ll never be by himself again.
