No matter how tough or brave a dog may appear, when an animal is abandoned by their owners, they are devastated. This is exactly what happened in the Knoxville area of Pittsburgh where a beautiful pit bull was left beside a dumpster.

At the time when she was discovered, the snow was already falling on the ground and the temperatures were horribly cold. With no shelter or place to get warm, the poor dog looked cold, confused, hungry and heartbroken.

Among the trash was a dog crate, making it appear to officials that the dog truly had been dumped out instead of simply wandering away from home.

When animal control first saw this poor girl, they worked to catch her and then take her to the Humane Animal Rescue in Homewood. The officials first order of business was to take care of the dog, then to locate the people who had abandoned her, as reported here at KDKA news.

The dog is about two years old and was in good physical health, although vets can tell that she has been used to breed many times.

Now that the owners have been located, the police are considering the best way to move forward with the case. There is a possibility that they may end up with an animal cruelty charge; however, they are still investigating the situation.

For now, this beautiful girl is enjoying a life of luxury at the shelter where she is being treated like a royal guest. She is a favorite among staff members, is receiving fantastic meals, and is also getting some treatment for parasites.

Despite her rough chapter by the garbage dumpster, this is one lucky dog! She managed to be rescued and taken in where she could be cared for and protected against the harsh winter elements. We only wish that all abandoned dogs could be so lucky!

If something changes in the investigation, this dog has a possibility of ending up back at her home if her owners can prove that she wasn’t truly abandoned. But, most likely, she will find herself on the shelter’s list of dogs available for adoption. Would you like to open your home and heart up to this beautiful girl? We’re sure that she would love to have a forever family to spend the holidays with this year!
