GWINNETT COUNTY — A local dog needs your help after his homeless owner left a note saying they could no longer properly care for him and that he deserved a better home.
The Gwinnett County Animal Shelter posted on their Facebook page that Cletus was abandoned on a playground with the heartbreaking note.
The note reads, “My name is Cletus!! My owner decided she could not keep me anymore because she does not have a place to stay. I am a very good dog. I’m 11-years-old but I still play like a puppy. I don’t chew anything but food. I’m house broken. I’m great with kids. I play, catch Frisbees, and love to give hugs. Can you please help me find a home? I don’t want to go to the shelter.”
The shelter says he is not aggressive towards the two dogs that were placed in kennels next to him.
Cletus is currently at the shelter and needs a great, loving home.
“He enjoyed a walk around the lake and loved watching the ducks! Afterwards, he enjoyed a game of catch the tennis ball in a bonding pen,” the shelter said.
His pen number is 144 with an animal ID of 51364.
The Gwinnett County Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter, but due to his age, he risks being at the shelter a long time.
