Puppy girls were dumped at the Cochiti lake gas pump recently - severely dehydrated, tick infested, heat-stroked, and exhausted. Luckily Leanne notified us and we were able to get them safe and stabilized. They are currently being fostered by our town's great foster moms.
They will be spayed and vaccinated shortly and up for adoption. There will be a small adoption fee to cover the cost of the surgeries and medical expenses. Sienna and Gretchen are now happy and playful and gaining strength every day. We would love to see them go to one home, but we will consider them going to separate homes. Whatever the case, we are only looking for inside Forever home(s).
A note about this situation - at first we were horrified that someone would let their pets become so tick infested and then dump them at the gas station. We were also a bit bewildered as to why no one in the gas station brought water out to the puppies on such a scalding hot day. But then a thoughtful couple from one of the neighboring towns came by and mentioned that "more than occassionally" the usual route of puppies and kittens in our neighboring towns is to be tied up in a sack and tossed in the river to drown. Does this make you cringe? Does this make you want to support efforts to educate about spaying and neutering? So I don't know whether to be angry with the person who dumped the puppies .... or be thankful that they at least put them somewhere where someone could help them rather than drowning them. I guess we shouldn't judge? What do you think?
