A netizen reported on Monday that a dog was abandoned at a bus stop in Havana, where they left him tied to a fence with a collar and his name written on a piece of cardboard; the animal was rescued and now they are looking for someone to adopt him.

This little dog was abandoned on Saturday in the early hours with his collar, his name, and everything. They tied him up at the bus stop we marked in green," explained Raisa Pérez Villaverde in the Facebook group "SOS Street Dogs Cuba".

"It is the last stop in the Camilo Cienfuegos neighborhood (Havana del Este) before entering the old Cojímar road," said the woman, who informed that the dog is currently tied up at the house across the street, at her sister's house, where they fed him and gave him water.

"He spends the night there so he doesn't get run over or lost and suffer bad consequences," he pointed out while reiterating that they are looking for a responsible person to take care of the dog.

The publication sparked great outrage among Internet users, who pointed out that it is very cruel to abandon a dog to its fate in the middle of the street and that it is preferable to contact an animal protection organization to have it put up for adoption.

Recently, animal protector Yenney Caballero alerted about a dog found at the José Martí International Airport in Havana who was apparently waiting for the return of his family, who had left the country.

The activist asked for help on Facebook to transport the dog from terminal three to the home of a shelter, offering to pay for the cost of the trip.

The animal protection organization itself demonstrated its commitment to animal welfare when it reported that a Siberian Husky had been locked up in a house in San José de las Lajas, Mayabeque, for three days.

The young woman broke off a piece of the acrylic from the door and when she put the camera of her cell phone inside, she was able to confirm that the place was abandoned and that the prisoner was a little puppy.

Indignant and unsure of what to do, Caballero finally decided to release the animal through the hole in the acrylic and told the owners of the dog to look for her and, if they wanted, report her to the police.

What do you think?
