It’s heartbreaking to know that there are heartless people who put the lives of innocent puppies in danger and consider it an acceptable thing to do.
How come they don’t just stop and think about how defenseless these precious souls are?
They came into this world to be loved immensely and not to be discarded like trash.
One such story comes from Kansas, where seven little puppies were cruelly abandoned in a ditch on the side of a busy road.
The pups deserved the very best life has to offer them, but sadly, they received heartbreak instead.
Lying Helplessly In A Ditch
A kind family was in disbelief to discover the seven puppies scattered in the ditch next to the road. They collected them and took them to the Jefferson County Humane Society.
The shelter received them with a warm welcome and started caring for them.
The furbabies, four females and three males, were believed to be Pointer/Labrador mixes. They curled up together, seeking solace in one another.
The shelter staff was heartbroken to imagine what could have happened to them if they hadn’t been found on time.
They posted the puppies’ story on Facebook, hoping that someone might know something about their background.
“These seven puppies were found in a ditch off of Highway 16 yesterday and brought into the shelter. They are doing fine, but we would like some more information on them. If anybody knows who they belonged to, it would be helpful just to get some background on them. Thank you,” Jefferson County Humane Society wrote in a Facebook post.
The Facebook community was appalled by the heartless act of discarding the puppies in the ditch.
Puppies Are Well-Taken Care Of
Unfortunately, abandoning animals is a common occurrence, although it is illegal under Kansas’ animal cruelty law.
Jennifer Cubbison, the Jefferson County Humane Society board member, urged the community to reach out to local animal rescues if they come across an abandoned animal.
“Please be kind to them and keep them safe until you can find a solution. Don’t just dump them and walk away,” Cubbinson said.
Luckily, the seven puppies were found on time and started recovering from the trauma they endured. They will stay in isolation until they go through a full veterinary checkup.
Before the puppies start searching for their forever homes, they will be microchipped, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered.
The shelter will care for them and shower them with love until the furballs find families who will love them like they deserve.
We all hope that pet owners will be more compassionate toward their animals and that they will no longer put their lives in danger.
