A Christmas miracle happened Tuesday morning when 38 puppies survived a crash while on their way to the Helen Woodward Animal Center from Heart of Louisiana Humane Society.
The crash happened between 12:30 a.m. and 1:00 a.m., while the driver transporting the puppies was heading to a hotel to rest for the night when the driver reported that the van hit a center median, flipped, skidded onto its side and slid across the highway when they overcorrected.
“In my 23 years at the Center, I have never experienced this type of a tragedy,” stated Helen Woodward Animal Center VP of Development Renee Resko. “We’ve all been so fortunate to just expect that each transport will arrive safely. There is so much care put into these journeys by the participating shelters and the transportation companies who do all of this for the love of the animals. This morning’s accident came as a shock to all of us.
“We know that one of the puppies has a broken leg and one has some mild head trauma, so we will be keeping those puppies with us until they are fully recovered,” stated Helen Woodward Adoption Services Director Kendall Schulz. “We are incredibly moved by the severity of the accident and the miracle of how many of them not only survived but were safe from injury.
