A young puppy, identified as 9-month-old Tangi, was found wrapped in tape outside the Pennsylvania SPCA's headquarters in Juniatapark. The surprising discovery was made early Tuesday morning when staff noticed a large, sealed box on the sidewalk with no shipping label or indication of where it came from.
To their relief, Tangi, who had light brown fur and a white muzzle, was safe but scared, prompting PSPCA to take her in immediately. A heartfelt note found next to the puppy revealed that she belonged to someone whose housing situation had become desperate due to eviction threats. The owner claimed to have filled out adoption apps without any success, leaving them with no choice but to leave Tangi outside.
PSPCA staff expressed empathy for the owner's situation, stating that it was clear Tangi was loved and well cared for before being abandoned. "We will do everything we can to ensure that Tangi's journey ends happily," said Gillian Kocher, PSPCA Director of Public Relations.
As news of Tangi's rescue spread on social media, fans of the animal rescue organization rallied around her adoption story. Her first day at the shelter was marked by her tendency to follow staff closely and rest her head against anyone who knelt beside her. However, she eventually showed her affectionate side when she cried upon being left alone.
Despite initial uncertainty surrounding Tangi's owner, PSPCA determined that it had to proceed with making her available for adoption after a stray hold expired on Thursday. The rescue organization described Tangi as "very sweet and lovely," emphasizing that with time, she warms up quickly and showered everyone around her with love.

the fact that someone was evicted & couldn't even care for their own pup is just wow 
how hard is it to find a new home tho? PSPCA sounds like they're doing everything right tho, at least she's safe now & getting lots of love 
u can def tell she's gonna get adopted ASAP 
The fact that they filled out adoption apps without getting any bites is pretty crazy, maybe they should've considered foster care options instead of abandoning her outside. Anyway, I'm glad Tangi's safe now and she's getting lots of love at the shelter 
.
The note said eviction threats, but honestly, who deserves to lose a beloved pet over something as avoidable as rent issues? PSPCA should've known better than to take her in, especially with no real guarantee the owner was going to come around. Now they're just trying to pawn her off on someone else... 
but at least tangi's safe now. PSPCA did an amazing job rescuing her. that note they found next to her was really touching btw, u can tell she was loved before being abandoned 
they're trying their best to find Tangi a forever home & it's adorable 
I mean can you believe someone left their puppy out on the sidewalk with no food or water? It's like they just gave up hope 
. But at least PSPCA stepped in and saved that little bundle of joy 
.
But on the other hand, I feel bad for them too, 'cause eviction threats are no joke. 
Like, they're literally facing homelessness with their kid, and they can't even keep their own pet... it's just so sad. 
at least the PSPCA stepped in to help & now we get to give her a loving home 
its so sad that the owner was in such a desperate situation they had to abandon Tangi like that 
the note sounded really heartbreaking, it must have been super hard for them to leave her behind 
and i'm still so sad about it... poor little Tangi 
. anywayz, its amazing to see PSPCA take care of her and give her a second chance at happiness 
can you even imagine someone leaving their baby behind like that?! i'm so glad PSPCA stepped in and took her in, now let's get this adorable pup adopted ASAP 
But seriously, I'm just glad we know what happened to Tangi. Now let's all keep her in our thoughts and hope she finds a forever home soon! 
... I'm rooting for Tangi's adoption 100% and hoping she finds an even better home than before
