The lonely abandoned dog that lived on the highway is now safe and has found a forever happy home

2023/08/20

When a dog was dumped at an intersection on a busy highway, she has been living there since. She was very skinny and appeared sickly. Fortunately, a staff member from Soul Dog Rescue spotted her and attempted a rescue. The dog was hesitant and saving her was a challenge.

Joss, a name the rescuer gave the dog, appeared to be weak and was suffering from tapeworm infestation. Her only means of nutrition was from a kettle corn vendor who provides her with a handful of food from his cart whenever possible. He told the rescuers that Joss was not his and he has seen the dog in the area for weeks.

"She did not want anything to do with us, nor did we have a trap, which would have made life easier, but she needed help, and we weren't leaving without her," Soul Dog Rescue wrote on Facebook. "He said she'd been there for weeks and that he would give her a handful of kettle corn when he could. The kettle corn is probably what kept her alive."
