It was a beautiful, sunny day when a resident of Vineland, New Jersey, was driving along, suddenly spotting the saddest sight – five bald, very sick-looking puppies all huddled up together on the side of the road.
This Good Samaritan didn’t have the heart to just “walk” past these poor dogs, but stopped to help them.
He immediately contacted South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter, in Vineland, which sent an animal control officer to pick the puppies up.
When the officer saw how bad of shape they were in, he brought them straight to the vet instead of taking them to the shelter.
After getting medical attention, the vet determined that they were suffering from mange, eye infections, swollen feet, and open sores all over their bodies.
Aside from that, they were extremely emaciated, which indicated that they had previously been neglected and just dumped on the street.
After that, they were taken to the shelter where, considering their health condition, there was a big job before the employees and volunteers of the shelter.
Regardless of their condition, these puppies did not take the “smile” off their faces, and gave their rescuers many kisses as a sign of gratitude for taking such care of them.
“They were all very sweet on intake, even with the condition that they were in,” Kathleen Leary, director of operations for the South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter, told The Dodo. “They were wagging their tails and licking our faces.”
