GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Feb. 12, 2014) — Foxy, the young chihuahua mix found abandoned in a trash can earlier this week, underwent eye surgery Wednesday.

The Kent County Animal Shelter has received a ton of calls from people wanting to adopt the pup following her story.

Those interested in adopting Foxy should fill out the adoption form; the link is on the upper right side of the main page.

After completing the application, you can bring it in to the shelter, email it to laurie.wright@kentcountymi.gov – or fax it to 616-632-7324.  Make a note, either on the cover sheet or in the email, that you are interested in Foxy.

Remember, even if you don’t get to adopt Foxy there are still thousands of other animals in need of a forever home at the shelter.

If you have any information on who may have put Foxy in the garbage can, call Grand Rapids Police at 616-456-3400 or Silent Observer at 616-774-2345.
