TUCSON - After being left for dead in a dumpster, Kimmy the Chihuahua is now back to health and is ready to be adopted.

Kimmy was the third dog in February to be abandoned in the trash by their owner.

• Third dog dumped in trash can in a month
• Pit bull pup found in garbage can on the road to recovery
• Abandoned pup recovering, cruelty case continues

The handler that rehabilitated Kimmy says the 8 pound Chihuahua loves to cuddle and is friendly with people and other dogs.

Leaving a dog in a dumpster is criminal. Officials say it's free to bring unwanted pets to the shelter at 4000 N. Silverbell Rd.
