WASHINGTON — Do you guys remember Connie the Container Dog? A pregnant dog rescued by a team of marine inspectors from the U.S. Coast Guard from inside a shipping container in the Port of Houston.
Following her rescue in Texas, Connie was transferred to Forever Changed Animal Rescue here in Maryland to end her pregnancy in peace. Well, Connie gave birth to eight puppies in February and as of June, all eight have been adopted.
The PEDIGREE brand loved Connie’s story so much they decided to get involved to help the pups find forever homes. The brand covered all of the adoption fees for Connie and her puppies.
PEDIGREE held an Adoption Drive from June 7 through June 9. During that weekend, the brand reimbursed dog adoption fees up to $200 nationwide, in honor of Connie the Container Dog.
