After the dog was rescued, it was discovered the German shepherd had a microchip, which revealed that her name is Elsa and she had been missing since December.
When the dog disappeared several months ago, she weighed 114 pounds. But she was down to 44 pounds on Tuesday.
Police said Elsa was taken to a veterinarian's office to be treated before being reunited with her owner and littermate later in the day.
