SUMMARY: Good evening, I'm Craig Ford. Emily Leonard has the evening off. Thanks for joining us for WTV 9 News at 6. A woman in Monroe County encountered an unexpected visitor during her morning commute. Jennifer Adams found a large snake hitching a ride on her car on Smithville Road near Hatley. Initially mistaking it for a man on a horse, Adams was horrified to realize it was a snake emerging from under her hood. She believes the snake was trying to reach a bird's nest using her SUV for height leverage. The snake, likely a nonvenomous rat snake, eventually fell off her car. Reporting live, Jake White, WTV 9 News.

Roxy is friendly with other dogs and is described as a “tub of love” by the staff. Interested adopters can bring their current pets to ensure compatibility and fill out an adoption application online or in person. The rescue is open Tuesday through Saturday for visits.
