When a dog’s family was evicted about a month ago, their belongings were put out on the curb. Their dog, Boo, was put out, too. Poor Boo! Apparently, his humans moved, and put him out to the curb with the trash that they left behind.

He was found just lying on the discarded items, and almost seemed to be guarding the stuff just in case his humans came back.

Facebook used Liz Marie was the one to come across Boo lying with the trash at the curb. In her Facebook post, she describes how heartbroken she was just at the sight of him.

Her post came to the attention of Devin Oliver, the founder of the Detroit Youth and Dog Rescue. He knew he had to go get him right away.

It wasn’t easy. Oliver took several days building trust with Boo before he could be rescued. It was a lot of hard work, but it’s just what Oliver does.

Boo was eventually brought to a vet, and aside from being very hungry, thirsty, and understandably depressed, Boo was in good condition.

The whole rescue program is actually run through fosters, and does not have a physical address of its own. Since 2014, Oliver and his team have been able to rescue and rehome about 75 dogs.

Boo has gotten some attention through social media, and some people have even called asking about him. However, no one has stepped up yet.

On Oct. 29, Boo moved into a foster home, with people whom Dustin describes as “perfect.” The hope is they will find Boo perfect, too, and will make him a permanent member of their family once Boo is done with his heartworm treatment and can be adopted.
