ANDOVER - An abandoned puppy wandering through an Andover, Massachusetts neighborhood was saved by a DoorDash driver. Now police are looking for her owner.
DoorDash driver saves dog
Police said the unidentified driver was delivering food on Acorn Drive recently when he spotted the young dog walking the streets alone. He knocked on the door of a nearby home believing it was their dog.
"He said, 'Oh she's your dog', and they said, 'No she's not our dog. We will post her on social media to see if we will find their owner," said Officer Katie Kozikowski with Andover Animal Control.
Puppy has leg injury
The little pooch has been in Officer Kozikowski's care ever since the family called police and brought the dog in. The puppy does have an injury to one of her front legs, but right now police don't know if that is new or from birth. She came in with no chip and no collar. So far, no one was called to claim her.
"It's surprising to me that if someone was missing a 10-12-week-old puppy that they haven't contacted anyone yet," Officer Kozikowski told WBZ-TV. "Her front right leg, she wasn't able to put any pressure on it. It doesn't seem extremely painful right now, which is good."
What's next for DoorDash dog?
Per protocol, she will remain at the police station for seven days to give her owner time to come forward. After that she will head to foster care before she looks for a new forever home.
