I came across a post that a pup right here in Connecticut was abandoned on the side of the road on one of the coldest nights we ve had in a while. According to the Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter, early Sunday morning, someone was jogging when they noticed this pup on the side of the street with only a little towel near the Branford Community House.
After the shelter was contacted, they have information to believe the dog had been outside since 11:30 pm Saturday night and the dog had not been found until after 7 am Sunday morning.
