Eight puppies who started their new year dumped in a garbage can are getting a second chance after an animal rescue volunteer found the dogs abandoned on New Year’s Day.

Matt McEntire, a dedicated longtime volunteer for the Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT), discovered the tiny puppies in a trashcan at Crestwood Park in Fort Worth, Texas.

"Thanks to the compassion and quick action of one of our amazing volunteers, these little ones are now safe, warm, and on their way to recovery," Cassie Davidson, the senior director of marketing, communications & public relations for the Humane Society, tells PEOPLE. "This story is a powerful reminder of the impact kindness and community support can have on lives in need."

After discovering the puppies, McEntire faced the challenge of getting the dogs to safety at his home, which was more than a mile away.

He led the puppies back home, bringing them to his insulated garage with a heat lamp. After they had a quick meal, McEntire says the little dogs were fast asleep.

In honor of McEntire's Irish descent, HSNT gave all of the puppies Irish monikers — Phineas, Guinness, Dublin, O'Malley, Lorcan, Finnegan, Paddy, and Keeva.

Davidson tells PEOPLE that some of the puppies are still sick with upper respiratory infections, making them currently ineligible for adoption.

"As long as they stay healthy, a few will be ready for adoption this week," Davidson shares. "It's a moving target with such small pups; one day, they are fine, and the next, they have spiraled. We're doing our very best to save their little lives."

My dog Gus was dumped in a crate with his siblings outside of a vet’s office. People always say “that’s awful” when they hear it and see the video of them all packed in there. And obviously it’s not ideal, but the person who dumped him did it in a place where they knew they’d be cared for and not in a trash can or a ditch or a river. Some people do the best with what they can and some people go out their way to do the worst

I hope each and every one of these precious puppers gets a loving home with families who will spoil them to no end!
