The container she was found in was reportedly headed for Dubai.
She walked out on her own immediately.
She was very, very happy to see all of us, Reyes recalled to thePost.
She just wanted to be pet the entire time.
Founder Andrea Deoudes had come across her story on Facebook and wanted to help.
I thought, What a survivor to make it through all of that, Deoudes told thePost.
The Texas shelter agreed and sent Connie on her way via private plane this week.
But the drama didnt end there.
During an initial exam, Deoudes, who also works as a veterinarian, discovered something unexpected.
Upon exam, we noticed that Connie had some mammary development.
FCAR wrote in an update on Wednesday.
Deoudes will care for Connie until she gives birth to her litter.
Barring additional health issues, the dogs will eventually all be put up for adoption locally.
We know we will find her an amazing home, Deoudes told thePost.
Its going to be tough because were going to receive a million applications.
