Puppy found in St. Louis-area clothing donation bin

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — A week-old puppy found alive in a St. Louis-area clothing donation bin has a new home.

Nowhere on the charity's bin does it say puppies are accepted, but that didn't stop someone from still tossing one into a Ferguson receptacle.

St. Louis' KTVI reports puppy was found alive recently among contents of the Big Brothers Big Sisters donation bin that had been outside a Wal-Mart store in Ferguson.

The puppy was taken to an animal hospital. The dog already has been adopted.
