Yorkie Found Stuffed In Sealed Plastic Container In Extreme Heat Outside PSPCA Headquarters In Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A female Yorkie was found stuffed inside a sealed plastic container in extreme heat outside the PSPCA's headquarters in Philadelphia on Sunday. The PSPCA says a volunteer from the headquarters on Erie Avenue found the container and opened it up to find "Gertie" inside.
"Gertie was covered with fleas and a coating of flea dirt, but otherwise spunky and strong," a PSPCA Facebook post read.
She was given the name Gertie by the PSPCA because "the name Gertude means "spear of strength."
In case you were wondering what Gertie looks like all cleaned up! She still has a long road to recovery, but she's on the way! To support Gertie - https://www.facebook.com/donate/1328234537326228
