CORINTH — A dog is safe and receiving care after being found abandoned near the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter following severe weather, according to shelter staff.
The shelter said the dog was found Tuesday morning on the shelter road near the stop sign after being left out overnight during the storm.
Staff said the dog was cold, soaked and frightened when she was discovered.
In a public message, the shelter said abandoning animals in that way is not safe or humane and urged anyone needing to surrender a pet to contact the shelter for help instead.
Shelter officials said they understand some people face difficult situations and may need assistance rehoming an animal. While the shelter may not always be able to take in every animal right away, staff said they try to offer guidance, resources and safer options.
For now, the dog is warm, safe and being cared for, according to the shelter. Staff said they plan to share updates on her condition.
