dog tied to fire hydrant with note and backpack
A local resident said that the dog had a note with her explaining that the owners could not take care of her anymore.
The note also mentioned that the dog’s name was “Baby Girl.” In addition to the note, a backpack containing food, treats and toys was left with the dog.
The resident sat with the dog for an hour waiting for someone to come back, but no one ever did. The dog was taken to Green Bay’s Humane Society.
Humane Society officials said that Baby Girl is still in the care of staff and is receiving lots of TLC. The dog is currently on stray hold and the Humane Society is tracking down any leads on who the owners are.
The Humane Society wanted to remind people it will never turn away an animal in need, and people can surrender anonymously.

looks like 2 diff dogs to me
Our last dog, who had to be euthanized nearly a year ago was dumped in the forest. She found us! No tags, no collar, no chip, no signs posted around the campsites for a lost dog. The only thing she came with was a lot of emotional baggage. She was about a year old when we were adopted by her as she followed us to our campsite while we were out for a hike. She didn't like men and actually bit my husband several times over the 12 years we had her. She also bit two of my husband's friends. A dog behaviorist wasn't any help. I have no doubt she suffered from PTSD from whatever she was put through during her first year of life, the formative year for a dog. She was put to sleep for her failing, non treatable physical health issues. With all her issues I still cry for her all the time as I am now as I type this. I miss her dearly. Her name was Abbey.
The fact is there are too many dogs and cats and not enough homes. Having a pet is a lifetime responsibility. They are not disposable
"furniture". It's way past time that people started behaving responsibly and have their dogs and cats spayed and neutered. That goes for purebred animals as well...too many of them with not enough homes. People are irresponsible and careless with the mixed breeds and want to make a buck off the purebreds. As I am sure you are aware, thousands upon thousands of healthy dogs and cats are put down every year in this country. Yet the breeding goes on. I used to picket every Saturday morning along with a handful of other women to get a pet shop closed that sold puppy mill puppies. Education is key. I had people tell me they bought a dog from that pet shop and therefore they felt they rescued it. We would tell people like that, "no, you perpetuated this abuse".
The "rescues" can't keep up either. Several years ago somebody had dumped two kittens in our neighborhood. One wound up at our front door the other at the neighbor's. Our kids were young at the time. They, as well as myself wanted to keep the one that was at our house. But my husband felt it would be better to take them both to our local Humane Society. 
When he saw how upset we were he went back, to adopt the little calico. He didn't even tell me at the time that he was going to do that, it was going to be a surprise. And I didn't find out until months later that he attempted to get her back. It turned out he was the one who got the surprise. He was back down at the Humane Society less than two hours after he took them in. In that amount of time the Humane Society had already killed them. They were little kittens about 8 weeks old and they didn't give them a chance. 
Opt to adopt.
But I think she had a nice life with you.
I can’t imagine what goes through a dog’s mind when they are dumped even if it’s at a shelter.
And that dog is giving off -
But I WAITED for you.
