Pleasant Hill: Terrier Puppies Thrown in Trash Rescued

by ECT

Good Samaritans Carl and Rene were at Paso Nogal park in Pleasant Hill yesterday when their Australian Shepherd dog alerted to a plastic trash bag in a box near the trash can. They untied the knot (yes, the bag was knotted shut!) and discovered three tiny terrier puppies who had been discarded like trash. They took them home, cleaned them up, and fed them.

Today they brought them into our care. We are both sadded at the inhumanity and grateful at the compassion shown. THANK YOU, Carl and Rene for being these puppies’ heroes! heart emoticon

If you have any information on the owners of these puppies please call 925-335-8300.

Rescued trumps breed in my book, although I’ll never understand why anybody would want one of those little, yappy, breeds.

That said, I’m sure glad those folks were there with their Aussie! May the little guys wind up with great Forever Homes!
