ccording to a report, a teenager has come forth and pleaded guilty to abandoning his nine-year-old standardbred outside of a Geauga County, Ohio Wal-Mart this past November.
On January 3, the Amish teen, 19-year-old Johnny Miller, pleaded guilty to a charge of animal abandonment in connection to the case, according to a report on thehorse.com.
The article states that the standardbred --- who has picked up the nickname 'Wally' in light of the Wal-Mart abandonment --- is now in demand by people looking to adopt him since the story became a mainstream news item this past weekend.
The report has quoted Humane Society Executive Director Hope Brustein as saying that people from all over Ohio and the United States have been looking to adopt the horse, and that the society wants "to do what's best for him and find him a good, caring forever home."

The story is a sad one, but the good news for the horse is that, I believe, he will never have another bad day in his life.
How many times have we heard stories about an animal being put up for adoption because of sad circumstances and everyone wants to give the animal a good home? Happens a lot.
One thing that I wish all of these organizations would do: When a horse can be identified, they should mention it's registered name. This would, hopefully, get former owners to come forward and try to help this horse.

I keep looking for the horses real name but haven't seen it reported. Does anyone know?
