An abandoned dog is always a heartbreaking sight. Recently, an 8-month-old puppy was found alone in the woods, left with all his belongings and waiting for someone to show him love.

Thankfully, this poor dog is now in good hands after being taken in by a rescue organization, and is currently looking for a new home.

The dog, now named Hank, was discovered by a kind-hearted person in the woods. He was sitting amongst his old toys, a dog bed, and a bag of food. It was clear that someone had abandoned him.

According to a Facebook post, Hank was also found with a broken leg that had been injured for at least two weeks. He had spent about two weeks on his own in the woods and was underweight.

Hank was taken in by Humans and Animals United, a Florida-based nonprofit animal rescue organization, who prepared him for surgery to fix his broken leg.

“Hank is in good spirits and the staff simply adores him,” Humans and Animals United wrote on Facebook.

After going through so much, it was clear that Hank was grateful to finally be in caring hands.

“His tail started wagging once he realized he was being taken into the veterinary hospital. We cannot imagine why anyone would abandon him with a broken leg,” the rescue organization wrote.

Fortunately, despite the hardships he’s endured, things are now looking brighter for Hank.

Rosa Fond, founder of Humans and Animals United, told The Dodo that adoption requests have been pouring in for Hank. Though he still has some recovery ahead of him, he will soon have a loving home.

“He has a bit of a journey to go through before he’s fully adoptable,” she told The Dodo. “But he’s safe now and he’ll never, ever be hurt again.”

It’s heartbreaking what Hank went through, but we’re so glad he is now in good hands, on the road to recovery, and will hopefully find a wonderful new home soon.
