How to resolve AdBlock issue? Asheville Police find Puppy in Backpack
Asheville Police posted a video of an adorable puppy, now in the care of the local shelter. This puppy was found in the library, zipped up in a backpack.
"An APD officer found this sweet 8 week-old puppy inside a zipped backpack this morning. The puppy had been stuck in the backpack all night inside a public library. He is now in the care of Animal Services, who will keep an eye on his vitals. What a little trooper!"
**WNCTIMES agrees that this puppy is a little trooper! We hope for a wonderful furever home to be found!
