They were thrown out like trash đ„ș
The other day, a Tulsa, Oklahoma, resident was driving down the road when they suddenly spotted some dogs running down the street. The driver couldnât believe their eyes as more and more scared pups seemed to appear out of nowhere.
They realized that there were not 10, not 11, but 12 dogs on the loose and in danger of getting run over. The person who discovered the terrified babies called Puppy Haven Rescue for help.
âThey were ⊠terrified of cars,â Breanne Luiskutty, president of Puppy Haven Rescue, told The Dodo.
Luiskutty noticed that every single one of the dogs was male. That, combined with the sheer number of dogs abandoned together, began to raise some red flags for her.
âBecause these are small-breed dogs with poodle mixed in, they are likely from a breeder,â Luiskutty said.
Unfortunately, Puppy Haven Rescue sees animals abandoned by backyard breeders all the time. Once the dogs no longer serve a purpose for the breeders, theyâre discarded.
The dogs were all dirty, hungry and disoriented. Puppy Haven Rescue took in 10 of the 12 abandoned pups and distributed them to foster homes.
âThe dogs were very scared the first night they went home,â Luiskutty said.
But many of the dogs are already beginning to decompress and come out of their shells. Theyâre enjoying cuddling together and even venturing outside. For the first time in forever, they finally feel safe.
âYour heart breaks for what theyâve endured, but it also comes with a sense of relief that they no longer have to suffer,â Luiskutty said.
Over the next few weeks, the dogs will get groomed, vaccinated and neutered. Once theyâre fully recovered, theyâll be available for adoption.
âWe are hoping they find people who protect and choose them for the rest of their lives,â Luiskutty said. âWe know for certain they are all worth it.â
Once the dogs are available for adoption, you can submit an application here. If you’d like to support other animals at Puppy Haven Rescue, you can make a donation here.
