We have an update on a dog that was found abandoned, tied to a tree in the rain last week in McCandless.

The West Deer Dog Shelter is currently taking care of “Josie”.

In a post on Facebook, they say Josie needs “at least 2 surgeries to remove tumors.”

The Wester Deer Dog Shelter is asking for donations to help pay for the expensive surgeries.

A good Samaritan has offered to match a donation up to $2,500.

Anyone that wants to help support Josie’s surgery can donate via Venmo (@westdeerdogshelter – enter the phone number 5519).

You can also mail or drop off a check or cash to the West Deer Dog Shelter

“Thank you to all that have donated so far. Josie and the shelter appreciate any and all donations!,” The shelter said in a Facebook post.
