It’s hard to fathom how someone could discard a puppy as if it were garbage, but sadly, some individuals treat animals with utter disregard. Recently, a woman witnessed an incredibly distressing scene when she stumbled upon three puppies left to die in a dumpster.
However, these pups are now on the path to a brighter future…
On September 1, a worker at a business park in San Dimas, California, heard faint whimpering coming from a dumpster. To his horror, he found three German Shepherd puppies trapped among the refuse. The poor little ones were described as “hot and hungry.” Unfortunately, the worker was unable to take them in due to his living situation in a motel and a lack of transportation, and animal control was closed for the day. Linda Denise Valdez shared this heartbreaking story in a local Facebook group dedicated to lost and found pets, seeking help from anyone who could foster or rescue the puppies.
Carolyn Castro, an administrator of the group, quickly responded and went to rescue the puppies from the dumpster. She took them to a veterinarian for urgent care, discovering that they were not microchipped.
The circumstances surrounding their abandonment remain a mystery. Castro mentioned reaching out to local businesses in an effort to acquire surveillance footage that might shed light on the situation. She expressed her frustration, questioning whether the puppies were “stolen and dumped” or simply abandoned by someone with no conscience.
As reported by KTLA, Castro is collaborating with the local rescue organization Big Dog Haven to help rehabilitate the puppies and eventually find them loving homes. It’s unfathomable that anyone could leave these precious German Shepherd puppies to fend for themselves in a dumpster, but we are relieved they were rescued and are hopeful they will soon find their forever families!
