Chained to a bench, unable to move, a little puppy wondered when his family was coming back. But as the dog looked warily at the crowd of strangers gathering around him, he sensed something wasn’t right.
Marcela Goldberg received a message about the puppy left on a street median and rushed over with fellow rescuer Azul Galindo. She wasn’t surprised — there had been so many more dogs abandoned in her town since the start of the pandemic.
“There were already several neighbors gathered who had brought him water and food because they left him tied to the bench with nothing,” Goldberg told The Dodo. “But they could not get close because the puppy was terrified, growling and snipping.”
Hoy, domingo 22 de noviembre, recibimos el reporte de este perrito, abandonado en una banca en un camellón, con una nota que pedía que lo adoptaran ya que sufre maltrato. Acudimos cuanto antes para resguardarlo. pic.twitter.com/tSKkay6N9G

Next to the golden retriever mix was a note, weighed down by a rock. The note read:
“Hi, please adopt me: Max. Please, I ask that you adopt this cute dog and you take good care of him. It hurts a lot to leave my dog here but I made the decision of leaving him because my family used to mistreat him and it would always hurt me to see him in that condition. If you’re reading this and your heart wavers, please adopt him and take good care of him. If not, please leave this note in its place. That way others can read it and adopt him. Thank you.”

“He is sweet, very affectionate, he loves to give kisses and play with the ball that the vet gave him,” Goldberg said.
Just days after his rescue, Boston has transformed into a totally different dog. Now, his rescuers are reviewing adoption applications to make sure he goes to the very best home — one where he will never have to worry ever again.
