Charlotte, North Carolina - She's seen it all as an animal shelter director, but this dog's case left Chrissy Elder of Forgotten Now Family Rescue speechless.

A dog named Elsie was a beloved pet for 13 years, per Elder's TikTok post.

When her family surrendered Elsie, they said they didn't have time for the senior dog.

"13 years of wagging her tail when they entered the room. 13 years of making their house a home," Chrissy Elder wrote in the caption of her TikTok post featuring a series of photos of the dog. "She was a loyal best friend... then they said she is requiring too much and they can't keep her anymore."
