A heartbreaking photo shows an adorable puppy dressed up in a tuxedo as he eagerly waits for his new owners to collect him - only for them not to show up.
Little Vincente was dressed, groomed and ready to go to his new home, but sadly, the owners never showed up.
Colombian animal charity Fundación Rescátame say the supposed adopters cancelled at the last minute.
Sharing the cute picture on Instagram, the charity wrote: “Vincente was left all dressed up and excited, ready for adoption.
“His supposed adopter never came to pick him up. Just as he was ready for a home, all bathed, they cancelled the adoption.”
“And then they ask us how come we’re so strict with the adoption process – this is why! Because we don’t want to have any doubts that our furry friends will be in excellent hands for life.
“If you want to adopt, keep in mind that the commitment is for always, animals are not things you can have when you feel like getting a dog.”
The heartbreaking post racked up thousands of likes and comments with hundreds offering to give Vincente a home.
The charity added on its Facebook page: “We are happily surprised that Vicente has come this far.”
“People have written to us from Italy, Germany, France, Argentina, Peru, and many more Latin American countries to tell us that they saw Vicente and the foundation and want to be part of this story. Thank you!”
“Just like Vicente, we have many furry friends in the foundation who want to find a great family. All the information to help us or adopt is found here."
