Jogger rescued 19 abandoned puppies

PLYMOUTH , Mich., Dec. 30 (UPI) -- A woman in Michigan discovered a box full of 19 puppies while out for a jog in a park.

Julie Newman found the open urine-soaked box filled with 4-week old puppies underneath a tree approximately three feet away from the jogging path in Hines Park in the city of Plymouth at around 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, according to the Humane Society of Huron Valley.

 

"I could hear little yelps," she said. "And then I saw a box that was moving."

 

Newman, who owns two rescue dogs herself, called her sister to help her bring the puppies to the humane society.

 

"I'm just heartbroken," Newman said. "I just don't understand how anyone could do this."

 

The nine male and 10 female puppies, believed to be pit bull terrier mixed breed, received medical care upon arriving at the humane society and will be available for adoption once their treatment is completed.

 

The Humane Society of Huron Valley is seeking information about the person who abandoned the puppies.

 

"It's hard to say why someone would dump puppies in a park. But there is no good reason for such a careless act. This is exactly why animal shelters exist -- to provide safety and care to animals in need," HSHV CEO Tanya Hilgendorf said. "We don't ever want to see animals, especially babies, abandoned in the cold, left to fend for themselves. Thanks to a compassionate community member willing to take action, these innocent puppies will get the help they deserve. When they're ready, they'll be adopted into loving homes -- but first spayed or neutered to help ensure this doesn't happen again."

People that do this to animals should be castrated and fined (or if they are a woman, have an equivalent action) to keep them from reproducing.

Anybody that abuses animals is not worthy to be "human" and certainly are not good people. You have people abandoning these puppies while other people go to the pet shop to buy very expensive dogs because of some stupid trait that people want (e.g. a "pure-bred" whatever the hell with a trimmed tail).

 

I'm sure if these puppies aren't adopted by a certain period of time they will just be put down. Sad.

Why would anyone do this? I love my pets way too much to just toss them out like trash!
