Members of the United States Coast Guard recently carried out a heartwarming rescue at the Port of Houston, Texas. While inspecting shipping containers, they heard barking and scratching sounds coming from one of them. With care and compassion, Marine Science Technicians Bryan WainscottLoeRyan McMahon, and Jose Reyes opened the container's door and found a tired and hungry dog named Connie inside.

The container where Connie was found was filled with old cars intended for overseas shipment. The pup had been trapped in the container for at least a week, but thanks to the Coast Guard's efforts, she was safe. They provided her with water and took her to the Pasadena Animal Shelter for further care.

The shelter gave Connie her name, which is short for "Connie the Container Dog." She’s now available for adoption through the Pasadena Animal Shelter's website, giving her a chance to find a loving forever home after her remarkable rescue.
