The Coast Guard said Connie was heard barking and scratching from inside a container at Port Houston that had been sealed.
HOUSTON — It’s said that cats have nine lives, but a dog found in a shipping container Wednesday could give any cat a run for its money.
The dog, named “Connie,” was found in the shipping container at the Bayport Terminal at Port Houston. According to the Coast Guard, inspectors were randomly checking out containers when they heard barking and scratching coming from one of them.
When they lowered it down and opened it up, they said Connie jumped right out.
The Coast Guard said the container was filled with cars from a junkyard and they suspect the dog may have been in one of the cars that was loaded into it. The container made it to Port Houston on Jan. 23, so they believe the dog had been inside for more than a week!
Connie’s rescuers said she was tired and hungry, but glad to see them. She was given water and taken to Pasadena Animal Shelter for care.
“Thanks to their actions, Connie the Container Dog is safe and sound!” reads the Coast Guard’s Facebook post.
Connie will be put up for adoption soon. If you’re interested, you can fill out an application. The information on adoption is in the Coast Guard’s post below.
