Courageous person rescues stray puppy trapped on a highway only to have the animal shelter refuse service to them based on a technicality: 'I thought I was being a good samaritan' '

Howdy, friends and fam of the animal community. We willingly give a round of appaws to anyone who goes out of their way to rescue an animal in need. Whether it's something super cool like saving a lion cub abandoned by its mother or finding a litter of puppies on a construction site, you deserve to be thanked for the wholesome goodness you do out of the kindness of your heart. You would think that a good deed results in a good action, right? Well, wrong. Unfortunately, the world doesn't always work the way you think it should.

After saving a stray puppy from a busy highway, this courageous person decided to take the puppy to a shelter, knowing that they could give them a better life in the future. However, upon arriving at the animal shelter, they refused to take the doggo in based on a technicality - because the highway they found the puppy on was technically outside of city limits, they wouldn't take them. There's more to this story, so scroll down and read it all below!
