AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — A dog is safe after its owner reportedly abandoned it on the front doorstep of an Aurora animal rescue on Sunday afternoon.
The incident was caught on camera, and the owner of L.O.L.A.'s Rescue in Aurora is hoping to identify the person responsible. A manager found the dog in a carrier outside and couldn’t believe what she saw when reviewing the doorbell camera footage.

“I’m thinking he’s probably a terrier, maybe beagle or dachshund mix," said Shani Lee, a manager at L.O.L.A.'s.
Lee didn’t discover the dog, now named Gulliver, for 30 minutes and had no idea how he got there until she went to the camera. Gulliver was abandoned and scared.
“I was mad at first because I felt bad that someone could just toss a dog like that," she said. “He was very fearful."
Lee said Gulliver began showing improvement after 24 hours in the rescue's care.
“It’s just getting him over that hump of feeling safe and comfortable," Lee said.

“Had they just knocked on the door and come in and asked us, we probably would’ve given them an option," said Lee.
Gulliver will be medically evaluated before being put up for adoption and getting a second chance at life.
“He would be the perfect little lap dog to someone he gets comfortable with," Lee said.
Lee asks anyone who recognizes the woman in the footage to contact the Aurora Police Department. She said L.O.L.A.'s is looking for donations to invest in a better security system to try and prevent this from happening again.
