She had only just stopped her car when the tiny puppies scrambled down the slope towards her.
She was completely shocked. But that was not all – eight more puppies followed, running straight towards her.
Returning to the woods
She managed to catch the first two puppies, but the other eight ran off. She went home and posted an appeal for help on Facebook. Animal rescuer Lexis Noelle quickly arrived at the scene with her fiancé, Jon.
The couple searched the woods for the puppies. Then, a rustling in the leaves caught their attention. Two puppies ran towards them, closely followed by their brothers and sisters. The rescuers carried the ten little dogs for nearly a mile back to their car.
Getting the care they needed
Lexis then drove them to a fellow rescuer's home. Together, they spent about 30 minutes washing each puppy before giving them worming treatment. Their hands-on care kept the rescuers busy until midnight.
Thanks to Lexis's network, the ten rescued pups were taken in by the Safe Hands Rescue shelter. After receiving veterinary care, the puppies will travel to Minnesota to continue their journey towards adoption. We wish them all the very best for the future!
