MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) - A dog and her four newborn puppies found abandoned in Muskegon Heights during a snowstorm will soon be ready for adoption.
The Flint Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2iKxOTO ) the terrier mix’s body heat kept her puppies alive in the storm until the dogs were rescued around midnight on Dec. 11 by a staff member with Muskegon-based Pound Buddies.
The dogs were later transferred to the Canine Companions Rescue Center, a nonprofit animal rescue group. Operations manager Erica McCarthy says the dogs are now in a foster home and doing well after their ordeal.
She says the puppies, two females, two males, are healthy and will be available for adoption in a few weeks.
Their mother will be spayed and also put up for adoption once her pups are no longer breast-feeding.
