In Canada, volunteers from the CC RezQs Regina shelter managed to enter an abandoned home and discovered more than a dozen puppies in critical condition. Although they had access to water, they were also completely left to fend for themselves, exposed to serious dangers.
The volunteers we contacted as part of this rescue did not expect to encounter such a catastrophic scene. Namely, 11 very young puppies were piled up in the basement of an abandoned house. They were left there abandoned, with enough to drink without food and without lightvery scared in this atmosphere that is hard to imagine.
Despite the urgency of the situation, the shelter CC RezQs Regina he didn’t have enough room to accommodate all those little people at the time. Therefore, it was necessary to find a solution as quickly as possible. Dodo shared the story of this rescue.
“It was shocking that they were so scared”
When the volunteers of the shelter arrived in the basement of the house, they immediately knew where the ten puppies were hiding, for which they received a tip from the neighborhood. They discovered that some canines are very happy to see a human face, while others are terrified at the idea of meeting strangers. These variable reactions were evidence of the maltreatment and deprivation of interactions suffered.
Among the little ones, a certain number hid, as if to protect themselves from what they might discover. Stephanie Sangera volunteer from a Canadian shelter expressed it as follows: “It was shocking that they were so scared. We knew they’d be better off when we got them out of there, but they didn’t know that.”.
Saturated refuge and solution to be found
When the puppies were found, Refuge he could not receive them. Knowing that their community would be there, the management made an announcement on social networks, to recruit host families, find places in other structures or simply share the content of the publication. Subscribers appeared and offered their services. Within a few days, all the puppies were placed in transitional homes.
Before coming to the family, the puppies undergo a series of veterinary tests to ensure their good health and the absence of consequences. Despite behavioral problems who were present, the veterinarians believed that it is not too late to introduce the young dogs to a different, non-hostile environment. All the dogs were lucky to be offered a second chance after this traumatic episode.
After that period of control, the puppies were sent one after another to the family, for the basics of upbringing. Despite the difficult past, they all managed to leave their mark. The puppies managed to find their forever families without delay, ready to take care of them and do everything to forget these first days of life.
