Though severely emaciated, vets at the Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center South say her tests did not "show anything too serious."

However, she will go to a foster home for several weeks until she can get back to a healthy weight.

Anyone with information on where Snowy came from, or her previous owner, is asked to contact the Washington Area Humane Society immediately. Information can be kept confidential.

You can call their Humane Society police officers at 724-222-7387 x109.
