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."
The PSPCA created a fundraiser page for those who want to donate to help Gertie recover and find a new home.
