A happy ending for a dog that was shot and left for dead.

We first told you about Maggie last month. Someone cut her throat, shot her and then dumped the boxer mix on the side of Highway 98 in Fairhope. A vet had to amputate Maggie's left front leg because the bullet shattered the bone.

Well we're happy to report tonight that Maggie has a new home. New 5's Executive Producer and his wife adopted Maggie this weekend. They tell us she's getting used to being spoiled.

Bama Bob you are so correct, we have a rescue farm for large and small animals and the cruelty to animals has become so violent and abusive. We deal with this every day. People can’t abuse people anymore for they will get jail time so they take their anger out on animals because there are no stiff if any laws in Baldwin County. It’s just so heart breaking.
