While many dog lovers and owners treat puppies like their own child, unfortunately there are just as many people in this world that think it’s alright to abuse these innocent animals and cast them off like garbage.
This past Sunday morning, a Columbian woman was out feeding the chicken at her sister’s animal sanctuary, Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary, when she noticed a single tiny black puppy wandering around the property. She immediately picked the pup up and brought him to sister Juliana Castañeda Turner.
Since puppies are usually born in large litters, Turner had a feeling there were other puppies in need, and went out to look for them if they were nearby. As they searched the property, they found a white sack in the middle of a field. And sure enough, the puppy’s three brothers and sisters were trapped inside.
The 5-week-old puppies had been left to die, and were all starving, dehydrated, and covered in fleas. “We rushed them to the vet and were happy to find they didn’t have parvo or anything debilitating, just weak from hunger and dehydration. We started them on typical puppy shots and flea and heartworm prevention. It’s just a shame some people could tear babies from their mother and toss them in a bag like garbage,” Juliana wrote to the sanctuary’s Facebook page.
“They have fear, [they’re] shaking all the time,” Juliana said. “You know I am upset, sad and in shock. But at the same time, even when I don’t have all the money that they need, I will try my best. I am very happy that they are here [and] safe.” Juliana is currently nursing the pups back to health and helping them learn to trust people again, and eventually hope to find good, loving homes for them.
