No matter how experienced you are, finding abandoned dogs in what can only be described as the worst of places is always hard.
And, it is particularly devastating when you find a whole litter left to fight for their survival!
One such case of cruel abandonment took place in rural southern Virginia.
The entire family of little Beagle puppies was left in a dumpster by a heartless person. Coming to the scene, rescuers couldn’t hide their disappointment and sorrow just seeing these infant babies fending for themselves. Luckily, they arrived just in time!
A Heartbreaking Sight
Thanks to the good people of Halifax Dog Squad, from Virginia, four Beagle pups were timely spotted. Their history was unknown as well as their owner, but it was quite clear that someone didn’t want these pups in the first place.
Dumped in a place with almost no chance of being found, the pups cried and begged for help. Their momma wasn’t near to be found, and all they had in this world was each other.
Fortunately, HDS worked closely with another rescue to find them proper care. Within days, they were safely transferred to Triangle Beagle Rescue of North Carolina, specializing in rescuing and finding homes for Beagle dogs.
They named them after Paw Patrol characters: Sky, Sweetie, Rocky, and Zuma, to give them a brand-new start in life.
“Meet Sky, Sweetie, Zuma, and Rocky. They came to us today from the Halifax Dog Squad, Inc.. after being found abandoned in a dumpster. They have scratched and bitten most of their hair off, are full of sores, and one pup is most likely blind,” the TBR team wrote in a Facebook post.
The TBR team posted a heartwarming update video of the pups, confirming that they are finally safe and sound inside their facility.
Thanks to their amazing team and the greatest community of people who donated money, the puppies were immediately subjected to vet exams.
“It is clear they have not had an easy life up to this point, but that all changed today. They are visiting the Dogtor and on their way to their new pampered TBR lives,” the All four of them rescue wrote.
Ready For A New Life
When they first arrived at TBR, Zuma, Sky, Rocky, and Sweetie had most of their fur scratched off. They had sores all over their bodies, which required regular treatment and medicated baths.
The good news was – they had no additional health issues. Even though one of the pups seemed to have severe vision problems, the rescuers were relieved to find out that he wasn’t blind after all.
All four of them warmed up to their caregivers in no time.
Despite everything they had been through, the fabulous Paw Patrol crew fell in love with their new environment immediately! They didn’t let their previous trauma stop them from being the cutest residents of the TBR family.
It is quite hard to even imagine that they were only days away from the point of no return. Had the rescue not been there to help, who knows what would have happened to this sweet family.
From now on, the puppies will never have to worry about being dumped again. They will spend some more time with their hero hoomans until they are fully recovered.
During that time, they will simultaneously learn socialization and some basic puppy manners in order to be ready for a forever home.
With their sweet demeanor and just the friendliest nature, I’m absolutely positive that finding pawfect families for these beauties would be a piece of cake! Good luck, Paw Patrol!
