Numerous groups warn us every day about the growing number of endangered animals and the overcrowding in shelters. Even Nevertheless, a lot of heartless people still mistreat their pets, and one of the most tragic of them is abandonment.
The people who breed dogs for profit are the finest example of how this can, regrettably, always be taken to the next level. The result is frequently disastrous since their focus is on money rather than the love that these creatures possess in their hearts.
When a team of rescuers discovered three shivering puppies outside the Paterson shelter, such was also the case this time. We can all learn from their story.
Poor Little Lives
The Oakland, New Jersey-based rescue group Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge (RBARI) revealed a shocking title in a Facebook post on March 22, 2024.
An urgent rescue is underway. Outside the Paterson shelter, sick puppies were left!They composed.
The children, they said, were in terrible shape—cold, ill, and undernourished.
They thought the puppies were some kind of Boston terrier microbreed.Other than that, all of them were male and around eight weeks old.
The rescuers had no knowledge about their mother or the other puppies, and she was nowhere to be seen.
However, these kindhearted individuals didn’t want to wait any longer and hurried to the hospital right away to give these unfortunate infants the much-needed assistance they needed.
Glimpse Of Hope
Later that day, after they found the puppies and brought them to the hospital, a rescue organization from Oakland, Wisconsin, wrote anotherFacebook postabout their situation. Thankfully, the news was really good.
The three tiny micro-Boston pups abandoned outside in the cold are now stable and receiving the medical care that had been so neglected,they wrote.
In that honor,they named them Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. They all had pot bellies and were severely emaciated. Aside from that, they were also suffering from an upper respiratory illness.
After that knowledge, everything was finally clear to these people. They were now sure that the puppies were the product of microbreeding from people eager for profit, but also thattheir illness helped them to end up on the street.
In the world of backyard breeding, you can t sell a sick dog,they wrote.
However, this only motivated them even more to help the puppies and provide them with a better future. They gave them the needed medication and TLC, as well as the best quality food, so they were already feeling much better.
Soon, the puppies were able to be releasedinto out-patient care in a medical foster home, where they had a better chance of staying healthy. Aside from all the necessities, they were also showered with a lot of love, and that helped them in their recovery, too.
Alvin, Simon and Theodore are finally being doted on as precious lives instead of a rejected commodity,RBARI wrote.
An Eye-Opening Tragedy
Their saviors knew that the puppies would have to go through a tough recovery due to their health issues. Fortunately, with the help of all the good people who were taking care of them, everything went quite well, and all of them were full of hope that there would be a happy ending.
All three pups are spunky, running around, wrestling and playing hide and seek one minute then snuggling and giving love the next,RBARI wrote in their newFacebook post.
However, just when they thought that nothing could go wrong and that all three puppies were doing fine,the saddest moment came.
Yesterday, Alvin, one of the three puppies we recently rescued, passed away,RBARI wrote in their latestFacebook postfrom April 1, 2024.
They wrote that Alvin came to them witha severecleft palate, suffering fromcongenital hydrocephalusas well as other defects affecting his neurological function.All these were the consequences of bad breeding, which was subsequently the cause of his downfall.
Although it was hard for them to go through all this, the people who cared for Alvin and the other puppies had to share his story. They didn t do it to make it easier to cry their tears or spill morale but to save some future Alvins and all other pups whom someone decided to give such a fate to.
After reading this story, it s up to all of us to take a look into our hearts and decide if it s more important to have a few more dollars in our pockets or a heart filled with joy because one little life continues to live.
