Rescue of Emaciated German Shepherd in Houston

A heartwarming rescue took place in Houston on Friday morning, as a team of rescuers worked together to save an emaciated German shepherd from a busy intersection.

The rescue effort began when a resident spotted the dog and reached out for help on a Facebook lost and found pet page. The resident had been providing the dog with water and food, but it refused to eat.

A rescuer, Danna, arrived at the location and slowly approached the dog, offering it chicken and securing a lead around its neck. The dog, though scared, was not aggressive and soon curled up comfortably in Danna's truck.

The dog was very scared, but not aggressive at all.

The dog was then taken to an emergency veterinarian for treatment. The successful rescue was a result of the community coming together to help a animal in need.
