Rescued dog who chewed off his own foot gets new home

Maverick, the 2-year-old German Shepherd who tried to escape a leash by chewing off part of his own foot, has a new home.

MSPCA-Angell said the pup is settling in with his adoptive family and recovering from the surgery he needed following his rescue from his old home in Middleborough. When he was found, Maverick was emaciated and covered in scars from the times a tether had become twisted around him for days or weeks at a time, according to the MSPCA.

More than $50,000 in donations were sent to MSPCA-Angell to help Maverick.
