On a hot June day, a litter of four sweet puppies were found abandoned inside a blue bucket on a Las Vegas sidewalk.
At just four months old, they were left alone in the heat, facing the uncertainty of survival.
Thankfully, Animal Protection Services brought them to The Animal Foundation for immediate care. All four puppies are suffering from severe mange, with bleeding skin, hair loss, and open sores.
Mange is an irritating skin condition caused by microscopic mites that infest the skin. Fortunately, mange is treatable, and all four puppies are responding well to treatment.
They are getting medicated baths, antibiotics, and special treatments. Their scabs are healing, but it’ll take a bit for their fur to grow back.
None of the puppies had collars or microchips, so the shelter staff named them Aramis, Constance, Athos, and Milady.
Saving lives is a community effort, and the shelter can’t do it alone. Please consider donating to help these little ones recover: bit.ly/3XjANom
As an open-admission shelter, The Animal Foundation takes in animals needing emergency or specialized medical care every week. Any leftover funds from the puppies’ treatment will support other shelter animals needing special care.
