FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A dog that led Florida Highway Patrol troopers on a chase Monday on Interstate 95 is now at the Humane Society of Broward County in Fort Lauderdale.
The pit bull named Taylor Swift, due to her swift moves on the I-95 on-ramp, is now getting the care she needs.
Workers at the Humane Society say that due to her back story, she was running from a past life.
On Monday, Taylor was spotted darting across the northbound I-95 on-ramp at Davie Boulevard, creating some canine chaos to troopers trying to catch her.
The showstopper stopped traffic before she was eventually placed in the backseat of an FHP cruiser.
She wasn’t arrested, but simply restrained and taken to the Humane Society of Broward County.
Taylor is roughly 2 to 3 years old and is currently getting checked out by veterinarians, who say she didn’t have a registered microchip.
She’s had a bit of a rough life as she’s been bred multiple times.
“This dog who we’re calling Taylor Swift – her purpose was to produce puppies for profit,” Cherie Wachter, of the Humane Society of Broward County, said. “She’s safe here now. We are giving her an exam. She’s going to get a bath later and our goal is to find her a loving home where she’s not going to be producing anymore puppies.”
Taylor won’t be ready for adoption until the end of the week.
