After a very stormy night in San Antonio SA Animal Care Services staff arrived early to work only to find a mysterious green tarp in their parking lot
Immediately concerned they approached the tarp to investigate When they lifted the soaking wet tarp and saw what was hiding beneath it their hearts sank a little bit
Six eyes looked at them in utter confusion and terror

Abandoned in cages and left in the rain were two German Shepherds and a small Chihuahua
Three innocent pups were heartlessly dumped in horrible weather and left beneath this green sheet of plastic They were completely terrified and couldnt understand why someone they likely considered family would abandon them like this
Lisa Norwood the public relations manager for the City of San Antonio Animal Care Services told The Dodo
Anytime something like this happens were sad and a little frustrated We had been experiencing a spate of strong thunderstorms and I can only imagine their fear with the traffic going by coupled with the heavy rain and thunder
As soon as the staff realized that the dogs were underneath the trap they quickly called for backup and transported these three wet and scared dogs to the shelter

They quickly brought the dogs into a warm place and gave them food and water
One German Shepherd dog was named Peaches and the other one Cyrus The little Chihuahua pup was named Gabby
Finding Their Forever Home
Norwood told The Dodo Both Peaches and Gabby seemed a little more calm and were easier to handle Cyrus was very frightened by the whole experience and took some time to warm up to everybody
Poor Cyrus was deeply saddened and traumatized by the whole situation and he simply needed more time to process everything and calm down

The situation with stray animals in San Antonio is slowly getting out of control and animal shelters are simply overcrowded with abandoned animals every day
They wrote on their Instagram profile

Thankfully Peaches and Gabby were quickly adopted
Cyrus on the other hand needed more time to recuperate and find his forever home so he was transferred to the German Shepherd Rescue of NY Inc a nonprofit organization that saves GSDs from euthanasia lists
According to the GSRNYs Facebook page the sweet boy Cyrus was adopted too shortly after
