Immokalee, FL – Two weeks ago, a neglected dog was rescued from a flooded plywood doghouse and his owner was arrested and taken to jail. A good Samaritan is responsible for the rescue of Robo, a young bull terrier, who was tethered to the dilapidated structure.

As reported by NBC 2 News, it was pouring rain when deputies with the Collier County Sheriff’s office responded to the home of 43-year-old Romeo Gabriel-Lopez. Robo was inside the doghouse, which had upwards of two feet of water inside.

Gabriel-Lopez surrendered Robo and the man is now facing animal cruelty charges.

Robo is now in need of a new home. The dog is with SNIP Collier, which writes:

Change IS happening and now Robo is safe with us
This handsome boy is looking for a foster or forever home. He is approximately 2-3 years old, dog friendly with proper introductions. After the life he has already endured we are so thrilled to be a part of his journey to the forever life he so deserves.
