Home Found for Orphaned Dog

Folks have inquired to Patch about the dog belonging to a man found dead in his car, last week, in Sandy Springs.

After reading about a man found a man dead in his car of an apparent suicide at Perimeter Pointe shopping center, last week, folks have inquired to Patch about the man’s dog.

The man left a note apologizing for choosing a public place and said that he wanted to make sure someone would look after his dog, police said. 

Patch has learned that the man took his dog to a shelter beforehand with the hope that a family member would place the dog in a good home. A detective informed Patch that the dog was indeed picked up from the shelter and taken to a new home.
