COTUIT, Mass. — The Animal Rescue League on Tuesday announced that it’s now caring for an emaciated dog that was recently found abandoned on Cape Cod.
The 4-year-old dog, now named Little Man, was found by a resident along Mariner Circle in Cotuit, according to the ARL’s Brewster Animal Care and Adoption Center. That resident told Barnstable Animal Control that the dog had been seen around the neighborhood but not owned by anyone.
“Little Man was likely abandoned, and when he was found he was underweight to the point of emaciation, ravenously hungry, and had a very dirty and unkempt coat,” the ARL said in a news release.
Little Man was not wearing a collar or ID tags and was not microchipped. During his seven-day stray wait period, his owner never came forward.
The dog has since gained about five pounds, is said to be incredibly friendly, loves attention, and is well-mannered.
While the pup isn’t ready for adoption at this time, the ARL says it hopes to find him a home and family he truly deserves.
