CLAY COUNTY, Fla. — Two puppies that were found abandoned along Interstate 10 are looking for forever homes.
A woman who works at Clay County Humane Society drove by and spotted the pups on July 22.
Someone abandoned Dodger, Scout and another dog with only a coffee can full of water. The third dog was hit by a car.
Dodger was in the roughest shape. Just a month ago, he was almost dead from parasites.
“There are just evil, mean people and I don’t understand why people don’t take advantage of all of the resources that we do have within the city,” said Dodger’s foster mom, Anastasia Regas.
Clay County Humane gave him a blood transfusion. He had mange and skin infections. Now he’s a healthy, happy dog.

“In just 30 days, he’s turned from hairless, crusty, gross puppy hanging onto life into a beautiful, well-adjusted puppy that’s loving life,” said Regas.
Despite how Dodger’s previous owner treated him, Regas said he’s a loving, friendly dog.
“Dogs are really forgiving animals and incredibly resilient, and obviously he was a little survivor,” she said.
Now Dodger needs a new home. “I would like to keep him, but if I keep him I can’t keep helping and fostering other animals,” said Regas.
Scout’s coat has also grown back and he’s back to a healthy weight.
He’s living in a foster home right now and is looking for a forever home.
