Moxie the Doxie: Starving Dachshund Rescued From Portland Streets

Meet poor 'Moxie,' the Doxie found starving to death near a Popeye's Restaurant in Northeast Portland, Oregon on December 1st.  A Good Samaritan took her to the Oregon Humane Society; she weighed just 4.7 pounds. 

“On a body condition scale of one to nine, this dog was a one,” OHS Veterinarian Dr. Zarah Hedge said of the Dachshund. Its ribs and spine were visible and its temperature was eight degrees below normal.

Anyone with information on Moxie's owner is asked to call the OHS.  Moxie is expected to gain weight and be up for adoption in a few weeks.
