Learn about barley. On August 25, 2021, this beautiful German Shepherd was surrendered to the Riverside Animal Shelter by his owner, who never came back to say goodbye. Instead, his owner left, and Barley stood there watching. When he was taken to his shelter cage, he cried uncontrollably, breaking many people's hearts.
One animal advocate expressed her thoughts on social media:
“What a sad, confusing and shocking thing it is for a pet to be so cruelly surrendered leaving the poor pet stunned, exhausted and heartbroken,” one animal advocate wrote on social media. The owner didn't even come back to see Barley again. To give up sincere love and trust in one's fellow human being is beyond callous, unacceptable and inexcusable cruelty. Today, please help this beautiful, wonderful-natured, lovable, precious boy.”
