AURORA, Colo. — An animal rescue group in Aurora hopes to raise awareness about an issue it’s been dealing with for a while now — people relinquishing their pets in an unsafe manner.
LOLA’s Rescue said the latest incident happened a few nights ago and was all caught on Ring camera video.
“Someone decided they wanted to relinquish their dog, and unfortunately, they didn’t come to the door to let us know the pup was there. They just threw him on the doorstep,” said Samantha Cohen, an employee at the rescue center.

“In the video, we can see a woman walk up. She literally tossed the dog, and he is rolling around in his portable kennel, and he is, you know, out there for a little while,” Cohen added.
Cohen said the puppy, Gulliver, was brought in and is now doing a lot better.
“He is doing amazing,” she said. “He is a puppy. He is under a year, and he’s in wonderful health.”
