An unusual discovery took place in Westchester County. A lone dog was spotted near one of the shelters. It later turned out that the abandoned dog wasn’t alone. There were other little eyes shining right next to the dog.
There was a surprising discovery of an abandoned dog near the shelter
It was supposed to be just another ordinary day for the workers at the SPCA shelter in Westchester, New York. However, life can surprise us many times. They certainly didn’t expect such a sight. It turned out that an unexpected four-legged guest was waiting in their parking lot. It was a dog.
When the staff arrived at the stray dog’s place of stay, it turned out that that wasn’t the end of the surprises. There was a small box attached to the dog’s collar, leash, and a cardboard box was nearby. All this seemed extremely suspicious and suggested that the four-legged friend had been deliberately abandoned by a human. When the animal lovers approached the dog to help him, they were surprised to see that other cute eyes were shining nearby. They made a shocking discovery and their hearts stopped for a moment.
The dog abandoned at the shelter was not alone
When a group of volunteers from the shelter approached the dog, they noticed that the poor abandoned person was not alone. It turned out that the cage attached to it and the cardboard box were filled with 4 other puppies. At first, the dog’s mother was very wary and distant from the rescuers. She even tried to escape, forcing her to drag a cage with small dogs tied to it for a while. Fortunately, after a while, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to the quick intervention of the staff, we managed to catch the dog and no one was injured. The representatives of the Westchester SPCA posted the following entry on their Instagram profile:
Mom was so scared that she could have rushed and pulled the carrier attached to its leash, dragging the two puppies behind her, and they would have all been injured… or worse.
The tiny four-legged friends did not seem too scared, as they eagerly stuck their faces out, observing the whole situation with curiosity. The specialists began to help their new group of patients and safely transferred them to the shelter. The canine family was able to relax a little after such a hard and stressful day.
A recording of the rescue operation was posted on social media, on the official Instagram profile of the Westchester SPCA:
The further fate of an abandoned dog family
The reason for the abandonment of the canine family is still unknown to everyone. A video footage was obtained showing how a man took animals out of the car, left them on the sidewalk and simply drove away. No one understands why the driver did not bring the dogs directly to the shelter. However, the situation could have been much more dramatic if the animals had been abandoned, for example in the forest.
Although we are grateful that they were not left in the woods or on the side of the road, it still does not make sense, the shelter staff stressed in their Instagram post.
The dog’s name was Nora. After examining the entire four-legged family, it was found that each member was in perfect health. So we started looking for foster families for them. Each of the 4 puppies has already been adopted and found their own home. Unfortunately, Nora was not so lucky. She is still in the shelter, where she is surrounded by love and care. Despite this, the animal remains quite wary and distant. Westchester SPCA officials are really hoping there will soon be a dog lover who will love the dog back.
