ORLANDO, Fla. — The one surviving dog that was left in hot a SUV near Universal last week is doing well. 

Gruff is an 8-week-old terrier who survived being in a hot Dodge Durango SUV July 2 and has been in the care of Poodle and Pooch Rescue in Seminole County since Wednesday.

"You look at him, and so happy he survived," said Michele Wacker, the medical director at Poodle and Pooch Rescue.

Gruff was with two other dogs who did not survive after being left in a SUV at the parking lot of Quality Suites on Turkey Lake Road in Orlando.

A 6-month-old Chihuahua named Minnie died. A 3-month-old Shepherd mix named Kiara died hours later. 

While at the rescue, Gruff has been getting plenty of rest. Wacker said being left in a hot SUV was not the first time he was neglected.

"He had tape worms and fleas, which in an adult dog is not a big deal but in a puppy can be serious," Wacker said. The rescue is treating it all.

Gruff will be up for adoption in a few weeks. For now, he is going to a foster home to live with foster mom Deb Greenleaf.

"To watch them grow, blossom, and heal, it's just the best thing," said Greenleaf.

The owner of the SUV, Penelope Stanley, 54, of Pontotoc, Miss., has been charged with felony animal cruelty.
