Heartwarming Rescue

A worker, responsible for maintenance was, at the time, looking into a burst pipe inside a housing complex in Wichita, Kansas, and as soon as he entered he realized something was not right. When he opened an apartment door, he was overcome with a terrible pungent smell, and then he noticed a small plastic dog crate in the corner of the room. Inside were two 7-month-old puppies, clearly stressed out, but it was very strange that they were not making any noise!?

There was feces and urine just spilling out the front of the kennel, then he noticed that the puppies couldn’t open their mouths, so he shined a flashlight in the crate and realized that they had something wrapped around their muzzles that their noses were really swollen and red. Not quite sure what to do now, but not wanting to leave them there, the poor pups, he called a friend, named Sara, who fosters dogs for the very same Wichita Animal Action League. Sara accompanied by animal control officers entered the house and seized the pups, thankfully, and took them directly to the vet.

The vets had to act fast

“We originally thought that it was wire wrapped around their noses because it was so tight …When we finally got them in the vet’s office and were able to hold them still and take a look, we realized that it was little tiny rubber bands that you’d use in your hair, no bigger around than my thumb,” said Sara. If those bands would have been there for even just a few hours more then the puppies would have almost certainly suffered tissue damage, loss of smell and more, it was so close to an even more serious situation! We hope that justice finds the despicable responsible parties that did this to these poor innocent young beautiful creatures. Watch the video and see how the pups were saved!

The pups had a lovely bath and now are fluffy and smell delightful too, their little noses are still quite sore though for the moment.

Soon the puppies will be ready for their forever home, and applications have already started flooding in. They’re such a great testament to how resilient dogs are.
