Eight helpless three-week-old Husky puppies were on the brink of euthanasia after being abandoned at a shelter in Central California.
With their mother missing and an overcrowding crisis at the shelter, their outlook was bleak.
Yet, just when it seemed all hope was lost, a glimmer of hope emerged.
Rescued From Despair
The puppies were cruelly left in a cupboard at the shelter, separated from their mother.
Regrettably, the shelter in Redding, Northern California, was overcapacity with over 380 dogs, leaving no room to care for this new group of puppies.
This overpopulation issue meant that the entire litter faced euthanasia, which was heartbreaking for everyone involved.
As a last resort, the shelter urgently contacted their partner facility in Bend, Oregon, seeking help to take in the eight adorable pups.
Fortunately, Street Dog Hero, a nonprofit animal rescue, stepped up to save these precious lives.
“They reached out to us to see if we had space. Our team drove a total of 9 hours round-trip from Bend to Redding, CA, to pick up the eight puppies,” shared SDH on Facebook.
All eight puppies are now safely in foster homes until they are ready for adoption.
Per their website, Street Dog Hero is a foster-based rescue that rescues dogs both locally and internationally, placing them in foster care, providing veterinary treatment, and finding them loving forever homes.
The puppies have yet to be named, but most importantly, they are now safe, loved, and will not face euthanasia.
If you’re interested in adopting one of these puppies when they’re ready, you can visit the shelter’s website to complete a general adoption application, or help support their efforts through donations.
