Puppy Abandoned Outside East Windsor Animal Shelter to Get a New Home

A puppy abandoned outside the animal shelter in East Windsor two weeks ago will be going to a new home.

Police said the mixed breed puppy, who is about a 1 year old, was tied us outside the shelter but was able to break loose before he could be brought inside. Animal control had a tough time capturing him, but treats helped.

After East Windsor Police posted the dog's story and photos on Facebook, Jason Rennie, of Broad Brook, went to meet the dog and said he now plans on adopting him.

"A tug on the heartstrings," Rennie said. "It was one of the biggest reasons, other than the dog itself, why we wanted to adopt." 

Rennie said he and his wife looked at each other and knew they had to adopt the dog and now plan to let their 9-year-old daughter name him.

"I think it's going to bring years of happiness," Rennie said.
