HOUSTON – A dog was found left in a dumpster in a housing community in Houston’s Fourth Ward.
The dog, a roughly two-year-old Rottweiler, was first spotted by residents of the Allen Parkway Village on Saturday night.

Residents called for help from a local cat trap, neuter, and release organization that does work in the community. The crew of four animal rescue volunteers arrived and found the dog lying in the corner of the dumpster.
Volunteers said the dog was found lying at the bottom of the dumpster.
After trying to coax the dog into a leash, they decided to lower a crate into the dumpster, where the dog walked right in.
The pup was hoisted out and taken to a volunteer’s home for the evening before being transferred to BARC the following day. He’s currently on a 48-hour stray hold there. After that, he’ll be available for adoption.
The Houston Police Department will investigate how the dog ended up in the dumpster.
