Happy end for discarded pups after roadside find
A couple from Greenbrier rescue four stray puppies found on a dirt road near Cave Springs off Highway 67. They saved three more in the woods and arranged shelter care with Decatur Animal Shelter. The keeper pledged to pay for the pups if unclaimed within 30 days, then two were adopted by new owners. The shelter notes high recovery and adoption figures for 1970.
