CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – She might now be called Angel, however this emaciated dog abandoned on the city’s East Side was the one who required a protector, and she discovered it in a Cleveland Police officer.
The Cleveland Division of Police Fourth District said on March 20 that Angel was discovered scared and malnourished on East 131st Street and Angelus Avenue.
Ofc. Barnes called Cleveland Kennel to provide Angel a “warm, safe place with yummy food,” however not without caring for her very first.
Cleveland Police said love, patience, water, and a Slim Jim that Barnes picked up from the convenient store next door was all it took to get Angel to gain some trust.
She also called her Angel because she was found on Angelus Avenue.
Angel is waiting to find her “furever” home soon, Cleveland Police said, that is, if Barnes does not adopt her herself!
Cleveland Police Fourth District told the community on Facebook that Barnes is thinking about adopting Angel to provide her puppy at home a little sis.
However, Barnes is already preparing to look at Angel to be sure she is alright at the shelter in a couple of days, according to Cleveland Police.
“Either way, we’ll make sure she gets a good home!” Cleveland Police made sure.
