The dog that shut down I-95 during rush hour, Taylor Swift—no, not that one—has entered the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Paws & Stripes program.

According to the Humane Society of Broward County (HSBC), the sprinting bully breed shut down a section of the eastbound ramp from I-595 to I-95 on March 31.

The humane society is unsure how she ended up in the predicament.

The young unchipped dog showed signs of motherhood with c-section scars, the HSBC said in a news release.

"There will be no more puppies in Taylor Swift’s future, just spreading cuddles and love to those in need," said Cherie Wachter of the HSBC.

The Paws & Stripes program is focused on training therapy dogs, not traditional police work. Graduates of the program provide comfort and support in various settings, such as tragic incidents and in the county’s court system.

While Taylor Swift's breed may make her seem like the "Anti-Hero," foundations like Dolly's Dream Dog are working to stop the public's "Bad Blood" with the breed.

"We are confident that Taylor Swift will be an exemplary example of the types of great dogs you can adopt from a shelter," said Wachter. "Her adoption fee will be covered by the Dolly’s Dream Foundation, and she gets a shopping spree in the shelter’s Pet Boutique.”
