Dog abandoned with "free" and "I need a home" scrawled on her

An abandoned dog was found shivering under a tree with the words 'free' and 'I need a home' scrawled on it's head and body in black marker.

The precious pooch was sitting on the side of a Benicia, California street on July 2 when passerby Shannon Bettencourt spotted her.

The restaurant worker couldn't believe a dog in such good health would be dumped.

'She was scared, shaking, and kind of whimpering,' Bettencourt told NBC. 'I was heart broken, it was really sad. Nobody wants to see an animal like that ever.'

Worried that animal control officers would take the pup if she called police, Bettencourt took it home, 8 News NOW reported.

The couple said they tried to track down the dog's owners through a social networking site, without luck.

Bettencourt plans to formally adopt Libby this week.

Poor Libby but how lucky she was found and will now have a forever home where she really is wanted.
