FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. — A heartbreaking scene outside a Triad animal shelter gained a lot of emotional reactions on Facebook.
The Forsyth County Animal Shelter shared a photo of two dogs left outside in cages. The dogs are each less than a year old.
Whoever left them also left a note, asking the shelter to take good care of them.
The shelter is currently closed to the public as it waits for a state inspection to wrap up. County leaders don't expect the shelter to reopen until next week.
The county took control of it at the beginning of the month, after dissolving a contract with the Forsyth Humane Society.

The shelter posted the following message on their social media in hopes to hear back from the people who dropped the puppies off.
First off, thank you for leaving them in a spot where we would be sure to see them right away, thank you for securing them in kennels, and thank you for the note. We are sure it must've been a difficult, heartbreaking decision to leave such adorable dogs and we are equally sure you must be struggling right now to make the decision that this was your only option. We would very much like to have more information so please call us at 336-703-2480 so we may speak to you further about them. No judgment and no criticism, we promise.
