Bag marked with skulls and crossbones found in bushes outside Walmart prompts Hazmat response

Seeing litter outside of a grocery store may not be that alarming. If the bag was donning a skull and crossbones, however, you might take a second look.

That’s just what happened outside of a local Walmart this week, and the incident required a county Hazmat team to report to the scene. Writings on the discovered bag said the contents “will kill you.”

🐶 Rescue of the Week

Rescue Of The Week: Hank, a 1-year-old retriever

Home At Last Dog Rescue is excited to introduce Hank, a 1-year-old retriever, as the featured rescue of the week. Hank came from South Carolina, before he made his way to his current foster home in North Wales, through Home At Last Dog Rescue. 

Hank is a very loving dog who would make a wonderful lifelong companion. While he still has some puppy energy, he’s just as happy being a cuddly couch potato when he’s not running around the yard. He is house-and-crate trained, and he gets along great with other dogs. Hank would thrive in almost any household. Ideally, his new home would have another dog, though that’s not a requirement.

If you are interested in adopting Muppet, or would like more information, you can reach out to Home At Last Dog Rescue at [email protected] or visit the website at www.homeatlastdogrescue.com.
