'Gay' dog on death row saved **pretty weird**

A dog who was left at a Tennessee animal shelter to be put down because his owner thought he was gay has been saved by an animal lover - who is going to call him Elton.

When his story went viral on the internet, veterinary technician Stephanie Fryns, who already has four dogs and is affiliated with animal rescue group Woof Connections, stepped in to save him from Jackson TN Euthanasia.

“I am adopting this big boy first thing in the morning,” she wrote. “He will be neutered/ htwm tested/ and vetted. He will be temperament tested and then places in a rescue verified and approved home.”
She then said after picking him up: "He's pretty scared of everything, which is understandable. But he loved the car ride."
