Dog Abandoned at Charlotte Douglas Airport Needs A Furever Home

This is absolutely heartbreaking. A dog abandoned at Charlotte Douglas International airport needs a furever home. It is hard to imagine but someone actually left this poor dog all alone, scared and I am sure looking for her owners to no avail.

Thanks to an airline employee, a rescue organization and a foster family this 14 year old beagle is going to be ok. Robin King, who is fostering "Baby Girl", says she has taken her to the vet and she is very friendly.

Furbabies Animal Rescue is trying to find a family that would be ok with an older dog. They are hoping to give her a fresh start with new people.  To learn more about "Baby Girl" and how you might can help with her search for a new family, get details here from Channel 9.
