In the time since the rescue dog has adopted. And renamed Stitch as he heads to his forever home.

"He has adopted within hours of his new family seeing him on social media. He now lives in Chandler, Arizona. They said they couldn't believe someone would do that to a helpless dog and immediately hopped in the car to meet him. They plan to spoil him like crazy," said Nelson.
