Adorable Houston pup rescued from shipping container

HOUSTON – A dog was rescued after being trapped for more than a week inside a shipping container at the Port of Houston.

See all the photos and videos below of the timeline of her release.

Take a look at this sweet girl right here.

Her name is Connie.

VIDEO: She was found about a week ago at the Port of Houston. In the video you can hear her banging from inside a a shipping container that was four stories up.

VIDEO: A team of United States Coast Guard members were conducting their daily inspections at the port when they heard Connie calling out for help.

VIDEO: The Coast Guard team found Connie in the container and opened the door.

A crane was used to bring it to the ground, and out popped a very sweet and friendly dog.

She now has a new “leash” on life.

“If we didn’t find her that day she wouldn’t of been found at all, that’s what I think,” said Marine Science Technician 2nd class Ryan McMahon.

Connie is currently with a wonderful foster family but will start her new life in Maryland at Forever Changed Animal Rescue.

“She’s been great, I have 4 kids, 2 dogs a great Dane and a Pitbull mix and she’s been great with them and a cat so whoever is going to adopt her hit the jackpot,” said foster Jennifer Wendeburg.

She’s scheduled to take a private plane tomorrow and we’re told there is a long list of folks waiting to give her the life she deserves.

At the time of the interview, Connie’s foster said five puppies had also been found with Connie inside the storage container. However, there seemed to be some miscommunication as the Coast Guard said Connie was alone inside.
