It’s heartbreaking and deeply unfair for anyone to abandon dogs, leaving them to feel unworthy of love. Four little Dogo Argentino puppies experienced this sorrow when callous individuals dumped them in a truck bed at night. Cold and starving, these innocent pups huddled together, seeking comfort from one another, missing their mother, and yelping in desperation for her embrace. With all their hearts, they longed for compassionate humans who would show them their true worth and offer them the love they deserved.
A Rescue Mission
That same evening, Alex Towers, a Georgia resident returning from the gym, heard the yelping of dogs from his truck parked in the garage. Upon discovering four malnourished Dogo Argentino puppies cowering in the truck bed, he was heartbroken. The puppies looked at him with sad eyes, and after noticing their protruding ribs, he realized they urgently needed medical care. He began calling around to find a pet hospital open at night, and as soon as he and his girlfriend learned that Veterinary Emergency Group in Brookhaven, Georgia, was open, they rushed the puppies there. The hospital staff examined the puppies and provided the necessary medical attention.
The staff then contacted DC Dogos Rescue, a Florida-based dog rescue that specializes in finding Dogo Argentinos their forever homes, and they agreed to take in the puppies.
The Rescue Takes The Pups In Their Care
The following morning, a nearby foster parent picked up the puppies and took them into his home, where he showered them with love and care. After a few days, a volunteer transported the adorable puppies to the rescue farm in Tampa, where the staff welcomed the pups with open arms and plenty of cuddles. The siblings shared a close bond, often snuggling together.
After admitting the initial four puppies, two more Dogo Argentino puppies were discovered in Atlanta and transported to Tampa as well. According to Pamela Fay, the executive director of DC Dogos Rescue, “Someone saw them off the sidewalk, off the side of the road. Clearly, they had been dumped; they were the same age, eight weeks old. We’re thinking maybe they’re from the same batch or litter.”
The puppies were well cared for by the staff, and just a few days later, they began to thrive. Their playful antics and wagging tails filled the rescue with joy, and they were lovingly named Crysta, Magi, Zak, Hexxus, Justin, and Joey.
Searching For A Home Filled With Love
The rescue is now accepting adoption applications for these adorable pups, and once they fully recover, they will be ready to move to their forever homes. Fay advises prospective adopters to research the Dogo Argentino breed, as they require “a lot of stimulation and exercise.” She encourages questions and communication with the rescue team regarding the puppies.
“They are some of the cutest puppies ever, and people want to adopt them, but they quickly realize that they require more than they can give. It’s a wonderful breed, yet they’re not the right fit for everyone, which often leads to them being abandoned once they mature,” Fay noted.
We firmly believe these sweet pups will soon find loving humans who will cherish and spoil them as they rightfully deserve. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to all the incredible individuals who played a role in rescuing these precious babies. We eagerly anticipate seeing them settled into their forever homes.
