Rescuers, JoAnn Wiltz and Katie McKittrick, arrived at the landfill in Mojave, California, and spent the first 30 minutes trying to locate the dog.
The skittish dog ran off when rescuers tried to approach, so they set up a crate with tasty food inside to try and lure him in. An hour later, they finally captured the dog inside the crate and commented on how sweet and beautiful he was.
They decided to name him Andrew.
