on
how
I
was
going
to
catch
him
poor
thing
is
scared
out
of
its
mind
As
I
was
leaving
I
saw
a
glimpse
of
him
through
the
woods
I
decided
to
follow
my
gut
and
I
went
in
the
woods
after
him
I
am
so
glad
I
did
because
over
the
next
hour
he
allowed
me
to
get
closer
and
closer
Then
I
was
just
feet
away
from
him
and
finally
It
was
at
this
moment
that
I
beaten
to
watch
the
fear
leave
his
eyes

know
abuse
and
neglect
again
I
promise
Shame
on
the
man
that
did
this
We
will
find
you
Original caption
For the last 48 hours since he was dumped like someone's trash I have been looking for him tirelessly. Today I got the tip I needed and rushed up there. It took me just over a hour to gain his trust but once I did I watched all the fear melt away out of his big brown eyes. Shame on the man who abandoned him. We will find you. To all my followers out there... There is a much larger problem going on here in the rural south. In my county we have no animal shelter and no animal control which leads people to think this is the only option they have other than shooting a dog. Both of these options are illegal and I am in no way defending the man that did such a cruel act to such a sweet boy. But there is a problem here and as a problem solver I have plans to offer more and more resources to this community so no dog ever has to be dumped again.... So with that said... who wants to adopt Apollo? *TO DONATE * ❤️ Link in bio ❤️ #rescuedog #abondoneddog #adoptdontshop #donate #viral
