Dog Abandoned in Dedham in Heat Wave Finds Forever Home

Thanks to the Animal Rescue League of Boston for contributing this news to Westwood Minute.

Today, Tuesday, August 16, 2022, the Pomeranian who was recently found during the heat wave, abandoned in a crate on the side of the road in Dedham, has found his forever home, announced the Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL).

Buzz was discovered on July 23 on Bussey Street in Dedham. He had been abandoned in a crate at the height of a heat wave. Temperatures soared over 90 degrees on the day he was found. The dog did not have any identification tags, and Dedham Police and Animal Control investigated the incident as a case of animal cruelty and abandonment.

Following his discovery, he was brought to ARL’s Dedham Animal Care and Adoption Center where he received medical treatment, behavioral evaluation and the support needed to prepare him for finding his new home.
