The painful experience of abandonment and rejection is one of the worst feelings any puppy can face. Recently, a group of little white furbabies was left dejected in a cardboard box on the property of Saving Hope Animal Rescue in Aledo, Texas. The helpless puppies were missing their mother and longed for the comfort of her love.
When the staff and volunteers at the rescue discovered the closed box on their ranch, they were overwhelmed with sadness. As they approached, they noticed the words “puppies her” written on the box. Upon opening it, they found a litter of white puppies gazing up at them with sorrowful expressions.
Although the rescue was already at capacity, the compassionate staff knew they had to help these adorable siblings. They welcomed the family and began to care for them. After spending time with the abandoned furballs, the staff discovered a hidden secret: all of the puppies appeared to have visual and hearing disabilities. Their separation from their mother left them feeling depressed, as they still craved her care and affection.
Puppies Feel Loved Again
Fortunately, a mother dog at the rescue, whose own puppies were no longer with her, still had milk to offer. When the staff introduced her to the abandoned babies, a heartwarming bond formed as she began nursing and cuddling with them. These sweet furballs felt loved. With each passing day, they thrived even more.
As time went on, the puppies began to showcase their unique personalities, allowing the rescuers to understand their individual abilities better. “Mate is a good example of the slightly impaired puppies. We don’t know how much she can see and hear, for sure, but we do know that she can hear being called, knows when we shake the food bag, and will approach people when called to come over… Koala, on the other hand, is much more impaired. We aren’t sure how much he can see. Maybe just shadows,” shared Lauren Anton of Saving Hope Rescue with The Dodo.
Searching For A Home
All puppies are in excellent health. Some of the siblings have found foster homes, while others remain at the rescue, actively searching for loving fosters.
“A number of these puppies are still in need of homes. Some are in fosters & ALL are healthy & doing great,” the rescue noted in a Facebook post.
The playful canines are full of energy, enjoying each other’s company and soaking up their caregivers’ love as they snuggle up for sleep. Thanks to the dedicated team at the Texas rescue, these furbabies have received a second chance at happiness, and we hope they all find forever families ready to embrace them just as they are.
