A truck driver called one December morning to say he had just seen three little puppies get dumped on the side of the road, and they looked so scared, lost, and hairless. We searched the area and finally found the three sad little babies behind a dumpster, shaking from the cold and bleeding from open mangy wounds. These poor babies broke our hearts. They matter. They are not trash, OK to be discarded on the side of the road. They received the full treatment once at Stray Rescue. Their skin was covered in abscesses. The dry, cracking skin that comes from mange leaves a puppy so susceptible to infections. The scabbing seals the infection inside all the tiny cuts and causes abscesses. They had demodex mange, ringworm, and needed eye ointment. We just couldn't wait for the day they felt better. Their foster family had to give them some very stinky medicated baths for a few weeks, but it was all worth it to see these sweet souls feeling better. All they needed was a little love and a little nourishment and they turned into affectionate, sweet, and perfectly wild puppies. Now they've all been adopted and are learning what it means to be a spoiled member of the family
