DALLAS (Reuters) - A dog chained to a house and found neck-deep in flood waters in a Houston-area home has been saved by a local sheriff and will soon be up for adoption, an animal rescue group said on Friday.

Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls discovered Archer, a 2-year-old female border collie mix, tied to a front porch at a home about 30 miles southwest of Houston this week, nearly submerged in murky flood waters.

Archer was rescued by boat and brought to the Houston Humane Society, covered in a greasy film from the waters, with her tail tucked between her legs, said spokeswoman Monica Schmidt.

"By the ring around her neck, you can tell she was chained outside for some time," Schmidt said.

1. I hope the owners return to face animal cruelty charges

It's obvious that the poor dog was left to face a slow, torturous death. Those assholes for owners wouldn't even let her escape certain death by drowning because they tethered her.
