Oh how sad for the old dude.

Tragic for a guy that age to end up in a shelter - if I had ever had a dog that made it to 15 I would be jumping for joy, not dumping him. His chances for adoption are pretty slim, given his age

I agree with Susan. I guess the owners are too cowardly to love until the end?

That is pitiful. He made it to 15 years old just to be dumped in a shelter. Tragic. He deserves to end his days better than that. Someone should be VERY ashamed of themselves!! I can't imagine how confused and sad he must be.

This old fella's story makes me so sad. Here's how the Shelter worker described his "drop-off": "As I was leaving tonight some Jack Wagon dropped off his 15 year old dog. He said the Vet said it was cheaper to have him killed there. He left him after 15 years!"
Unfortunately, this old guy probably won't make it out.

I'm a great believer in what goes around comes around. We will never know, but there will be something in this persons' life which will even the score. So sorry for the old chap...... I hope there is at least one person in the shelter who will show him some TLC ........
