A woman and her friend were out for an afternoon walk when they heard a scream in the distance. They followed the sounds and were astounded by what they found! 4 puppies, all under a month old, were abandoned.
There was no sign of another human or a mother dog in sight. Who could have abandoned these babies in such a state? The two women immediately dialed a local rescue number.
The rescuers came in good time. A compassionate woman lifted each puppy and examined it. Fortunately, she had a lot of experience with animals that had been dumped in this way and was eager to help them. Ticks were devouring the puppies alive, she noticed. What a plight for infants!
Two of the puppies appeared to be significantly thinner than the other two. Their predicament was extremely concerning. They rushed the puppies to the vet and placed them in a bucket.
The veterinarian gave permission for two of the puppies to travel to the rescue shelter. He stated that they needed extra feed and tick treatment, but that they were otherwise fine.
Two of the puppies were unable to be released from the clinic. They were extremely anemic as a result of the bug bites and hunger. They needed more TLC as well as blood transfusions.
We can’t imagine how terrified these puppies were. They are very small and should be with their mother. We appreciate that the rescuers took turns staying with the two puppies at the clinic while they were being treated.
The two healthier pups have already been adopted and are thriving in foster care. The other two puppies are currently in the vet clinic, but they are improving every day. The blood infusions brightened up the puppies. They’ve all been parasite-treated and are tick-free.
Thank thing the woman and her buddy were out for a stroll at the time. It’s improbable that the puppies would have survived if this hadn’t happened. All four are now doing well.
