Monday night, we received a call from Melinda at Dent County Animal Welfare asking for PJ's expertise in dog catching after several failed attempts at catching the boxer. Boxer Rescue had agreed to take her if someone could just get their hands on her. Neighbors had been feeding the dog and throwing blankets over the fence to help sustain her until help arrived.
After an unsuccessful evening of rescue attempts, a crate with blankets and treats was left for the dog to seek shelter in until a trap could be brought in. The dog was still too shy to even take the bait in the trap, and eventually she warmed up enough to Melinda for her to get close enough to capture. The dog, who we are calling Waverly, has been taken to the vet and diagnosed with severe heartworms.
Waverly was wearing a pink collar and pink and purple toenail polish. She obviously belongs to someone. Everyone tune in tomorrow (Saturday) morning for more details!
