Police in Brookline, Mass., are looking for information after aCorgimix was foundtaped inside a boxthat was left in a Porta-Potty.
The humane society said the Corgi mix appeared to have freed her front legs from an O-Cedar EasyWring mop and bucket box when she arrived at the Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston for evaluation.
“The dog is unharmed and stable, but frightened — and is now resting at the MSPCA’s Jamaica Plain adoption center,” the humane society said on social media.
“These situations are always perplexing to us and disheartening for us to see,” said MSPCA spokesperson Mike Keiley in an interview with WCVB.
“That’s a scary experience for an animal to go through,” he later added. “I think certainly in the wintertime, especially the cold plays a factor in addition to the other parts that are dangerous for the animal.”

The MSPCA added that the abandoned dog was not wearing a collar or identification tags and is not microchipped. The humane society is giving the owner a week to come forward, but ultimately expects the Corgi mix to go up for adoption, according to WCVB.
“Our next objective is to make sure that she’s in a place where something like this will never happen to her again,” said Keiley.
