A mixed terrier puppy was rescued from a storm drain in Pearland, Texas, after being found by a couple on Christmas Day. The Houston Humane Society is searching for its owner and urging pet owners to microchip their animals.
The Houston Humane Society is looking for the owner of a mixed terrier puppy who was rescued from a storm drain the day after Christmas in Pearland. A couple walking on Christmas Day heard cries coming from a storm drain and called the Pearland Fire Department. First responders lost contact with the dog on Christmas, but returned the next day and freed him.
The puppy, a mixed terrier, suffered minor burns on his paw pads, the Houston Humane Society said, adding that he was given fresh water and warm blankets before being taken to City of Pearland Animal Services and later transferred to the society for further treatment. Houston Humane Society is required by law to hold lost animals without tags or microchips for at least 72 hours to give an owner the opportunity to come forward. If someone does claim the puppy, they must bring proper documentation to the shelter at 14700 Almeda Road before they can head home with the pet. If no one claims him, he'll be made available for adoption. As we head into New Year's Eve, Houston Humane Society is also reminding pet owners to make sure their pets are microchipped in the event they get scared and run away from home because of fireworks and loud noises. According to the society, many of those animals end up in shelters on Jan. 1, but microchipping increases the chances lost pets will be able to be reunited with their owners
