Puppies that were just hours old were stuffed into a plastic bag and then left to die in woods near Denver, Colorado.
The helpless newborns were dumped in a remote area of the woods in Garfield County late last week, but now the police are determined to track down whoever decided to leave them there.
At about 3pm on October 26, deputies with the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office were called after campers in the area discovered nine puppies inside an open plastic trash bag.
Two of the puppies were already dead and veterinarians say that the entire litter would have perished had they not been found when they were.
A deputy took the surviving puppies to the Divide Creek Animal Shelter for care.
Once at the clinic, the pups were placed in warm towels under a surgical lamps with bulbs designed to bring their body temperatures back up to a normal range.
Veterinarians then bottle-fed the puppies with formula every two hours.
Unfortunately, as of Thursday morning, only two of the puppies remain alive.
