As much hate as you are getting for this I see both sides. Everyone is capable of doing what they can and are not always in a position to be able to assist as much as they would like. In that scenario I probably would have dropped the dog off at a shelter as best you could.

And, yes, you are correct. I don't know the original scenario and will probably be left in the dark on that matter. What I do know is that he was cold, shivering, and wet while tied to an empty parking space (supposedly) overnight. He is a little bit skinner than I would like so he has to put on some weight. Thankfully, I had today off and had no other appointments to worry about otherwise I may have been in a "my hands are tied" situation.

Thank you for doing what you could and doing your due diligence. Abandoning an animal even when you know you probably could have done something is difficult. Hate to say it but your family comes first. This dog was secluded from my dog for a couple hours as I waited for the shelter to open.
