Eight puppies were left abandoned inside a garbage bag in near triple-digit heat. The two-to-three-day old puppies were discovered in critical condition by a Good Samaritan before being turned over to Austin Pets Alive!
"We received a call that a Good Samaritan had brought in a litter of puppies that were found in a garbage bag right next to a dumpster. They probably saw them writhing around in the bag and did something, and that is huge," said Ellen Jefferson, President and CEO of Austin Pets Alive!
Jefferson estimates the puppies were probably placed by the dumpster the same morning they were found. Eight puppies were found in a garbage bag next to a dumpster in Austin. Photo courtesy: Austin Pets Alive!
