FORT WORTH, Texas - Eight puppies found in a duct-taped box on the side of a highway in Fort Worth will be available for adoption on Friday.
The Humane Society of North Texas said the highway puppies were cleared for adoption by a veterinarian. They are all healthy and ready for new homes.
Earlier this week, a Good Samaritan saw someone dumping a box with heavy-duty duct tape on the side of the road near FM 1187 and Interstate 35W.
He went to check things out and saw a puppy’s nose poking through a crack in the box.
The Good Samaritan took the eight puppies to the Humane Society’s facility off Lancaster Avenue.

The Puppy Palooza event is on Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. inside PetSmart’s Montgomery Plaza store in Fort Worth.
The Humane Society will also have a few other furry friends available for adoption at the store.
