After Finding Six Bald Puppies Deserted In The Cold, Everyone Was Shocked To Discover They Are Great Pyrenees
Every now and then, we read about one rescue story or another. Well, here is one more rescue story that shows the astounding ignorance of certain people and the valiant compassion of others.
On a cold December morning, a man stumbled upon six poorly looking young pups in the woods of Alabama on his way to work. The crusty animals were in unnerving, dangerous situations and tried to keep warm by cuddling against one another.
The young pups, who barely resembled pet canines, had a bald, pink, and dried-out appearance. They were far too young to wander the woodlands without a mother and were doomed to the most horrendous death without immediate assistance and expert treatment.
The four-legged siblings were taken to a nearby shelter in Sylacauga, Alabama, and the staff was shocked by the appearance of the young pups as well as the mistreatment they had endured.
It's difficult to accept that this can really be the cruel beginning of an endearing success story. However, we are so grateful because it is thanks to the efforts of the compassionate heroes who live among us!
Nicole Zaguroli, with Second City Canine Rescue (SCCR), said that the puppies were so stinky that the sanctuary team needed to use masks just to bathe them. "They were in really bad shape; they had scabies, they were malnourished, and they were cold," Zaguroli added.

The staff at the shelter assumed that the little puppies, weighing only an additional 5 pounds, were of the small variety, but because of the repulsive condition they were found in, determining their true origins was difficult.

The first guess was that the puppies' breeds were cocker spaniel mixes, which, to everybody's shock, later turned out to be far from what they truly are. The malnourished pups were taken to Auburn Vet College for significant medical attention, and a while later, they were placed into two foster homes so they could be cared for more effectively.

Nicole Zaguroli stated that the foster homes that were perseverant enough to handle these very vulnerable little pups were their guardian angels.
"There were miracles in these dogs' quick recovery—appropriate nourishment, medicated baths, and treatment were the keys. The puppies started to gradually recuperate and grow their white, cozy fur."

When the puppies were finally ready to be set up for adoption so they could find their forever homes, an increased inquiry concerning what breed they were arose once more. But then their appearance suggested that they were Great Pyrenees/poodle mixes.
It was only after the pets started to rapidly gain significant weight that one of the adopters did a DNA test. Then it was discovered that these cuties are 100% Great Pyrenees, and they are called the Pyrenean Mountain Dog.

Dogs of this breed vary in size and strength, as well as having incredible guarding abilities. They can grow to around 30 inches at the shoulders and weigh more than an additional 100 pounds.
Now this doesn't seem or sound like a poodle, right? Well, it's hard to believe that these cute and incredible animals were once little, abandoned, and crusty.
Luckily, each little pup that was rescued found a caring, forever home to settle down in, and it is all thanks to the amazing volunteers working at Second City Canine Rescue.

After a couple of months, the puppies not only adjusted to their new homes; they also became balanced and healthy while being energetic and truly fulfilled companions to their owners. One of the puppies, named Bear, has an Instagram account where his daily experiences and adventures are shared with his followers.
