\nIt\u2019s always very sad when dogs are abandoned \u2014 often you can just see the heartbreak on the poor dog\u2019s face.\n
But thankfully, there are also kind people willing to give these discarded animals a second chance. That was the case for one puppy, whose life turned around after being left at a shelter.\n
Last week, the Pennsylvania SPCA found a five-month-old Cane Corso\/pit mastiff puppy left outside their Philadelphia headquarters, tied up to a pole.\n
She was left with just a note: \u201cGood Puppy. House Broken. Don\u2019t Have A Name.\u201d\n
While the dog appeared healthy, she had discharge from her eyes that \u201cmade her look as if she had been crying,\u201d according to a Facebook post.\n
\n
\u201cWe literally had to wipe away the tears from her eyes,\u201d the SPCA wrote.\n
\u201cOur hearts broke for her. She was so terrified\u2026 At just five months old, this sweet girl has been abandoned by likely the only family she has known.\u201d\n
\u201cBut she was safe with us now.\u201d\n
The SPCA named the dog \u201cMinerva.\u201d Though she was scared and heartbroken, she was also sweet and loving, and the shelter wanted to do everything they could to give her the second chance she deserves.\n
Thankfully, it wasn\u2019t long before things turned around for sweet Minerva. In an update on May 10, the SPCA announced that Minerva had been adopted!\n
\n
People were thrilled by the happy ending. \u201cCongratulations to beautiful Minerva and her equally beautiful forever family,\u201d one comment on the post reads. \u201cThank you for adopting this sweet baby and giving her such a wonderful home with you.\u201d\n
\u201cOhhh look at those smiling faces!!!\u201d another wrote. \u201cYou are amazing!! She\u2019s gonna be spoiled! No more tears there!\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
