Cutest Puppy Left Inside Box in Wareham During Heatwave

If you are a puppy lover, you'd better stop reading this article immediately. We warned you. If you continue to read you will have an insatiable urge to adopt this baby French Bulldog, and odds are you won't be able to make those dreams come true.

The Wareham Department of Natural Resources is looking for more information about a female French Bulldog found in a box along the wooded hiking foot trail near Station Street and Decas School. 

On Monday, July 8, as temperatures soared over 90 degrees, Wareham Natural Resources dropped off a 7-week-old puppy at Wareham Fire Department Station 1 after finding the puppy inside a box with a cloth-wrapped ice pack, spare wet food and a note left on the lid. 

The note identified the puppy as a female French Bulldog, listing her age as 7 weeks.  The note stated that she had been dewormed and pleaded, “Please save her."

The town is reassuring the public that despite the oppressive heat, the puppy was not in any distress.
