LA Shelter Finds A Dog With Rare Condition And A Note That Brings Everyone To Tears

In a world where so many dogs are abandoned and forgotten, only a few are lucky enough to get a second chance. Qwerty Cosmo was one of those rare few, but not before life tested him in the hardest way.

He was discovered tied up outside a shelter with nothing but a handwritten note beside him.

The writing, shaky and childlike, carried both love and heartbreak. It read:

“I love my dog. Please don’t hit him. It’s a boy.”

Qwerty’s family hadn’t left him out of cruelty. They loved him, but they didn’t know how to care for a dog like him, a pup born with short spine syndrome, which made him look different from other dogs.

Instead of reaching out for guidance or support, they made the heartbreaking choice to leave him behind, hoping that somewhere out there, someone would see past his differences and give him the life he truly deserved.

When shelter workers first saw Qwerty, they could hardly believe their eyes. His little body was different, but his spirit shone so brightly.

With his tail wagging and the sweetest spark of joy in his eyes, he greeted them as if he already knew something good was waiting for him.

Wanting to give him the best chance, the shelter quickly reached out to Roadogs Rescue in California. That’s where Nikki, a rescuer with a heart of gold, stepped in to change Qwerty’s life forever.

Instead of placing him in a foster home like she normally would, Nikki decided to welcome Qwerty into her own home. She wanted to really understand his needs and make sure he had the very best start before moving on to his forever family.

From day one, Qwerty lit up the room. He was pure sunshine, his spirit so much bigger than his little body. And despite his condition, nothing seemed to slow him down. He was determined to live life to the fullest.

Qwerty played with other dogs and dashed along the shoreline with so much joy. He embraced every ounce of love and fun that life offered him.

He might not have been able to jump onto the couch or run endlessly, but that didn’t take away from his joy.

He was content, truly content, and Nikki’s heart told her that somewhere out there, a family meant just for him was waiting.

And she was right. Before long, that special family found him. When they met Qwerty, they didn’t see limitations or differences; they saw a dog overflowing with joy, ready to give his whole heart.

The bond was instant. Qwerty’s new family embraced his quirks, celebrated his courage, and promised him a lifetime of love.

For Qwerty, it wasn’t about what he couldn’t do. It was about all the happiness he brought into the world simply by being himself.

His forever home turned out to be everything he had ever dreamed of: full of love, playful siblings, and a family who cherished him exactly as he was. His new family shared on Facebook:

“He’s a strong boy and a happy boy who lives in the present. I want his former people to know he’s going to be okay. I wish they would have reached out for help rather than make the choice they did because Qwerty was clearly loved. Maybe he wouldn’t have had to start all over. He is one of the lucky ones because he made it. Too many don’t.”

Now Qwerty spends his days soaking up every moment of happiness. He plays, cuddles, and wins hearts everywhere he goes.

From a pup once left waiting outside a shelter, he’s become the happiest short-spined dog, surrounded by love and finally right where he was meant to be.
