The puppies were German Shepherds and they were covered in their own bedding. The radiator has no air holes, which means it will soon suffocate.
The woman contacted the Sulfur Springs Animal Control Department to report her finding. In turn, they called Vet Ranch veterinarian Carrie McCreary for help.
McCreary, who also works as a lifeguard at Hunt County Pets Alive, drove to the woman’s home to retrieve the puppies, which were still in the heater. McCreary speculated for The Dodo that the woman may have found them shortly after throwing them away, as they wouldn’t have survived long in a hot radiator with little air.
After a thorough veterinary examination, the puppies received a certificate of good health. In fact, McCreary described them as healthy, happy, and playful. The pups currently reside at Hunt County Pets Alive, which has already found homes for all nine of them.
After receiving their vaccinations and any other required medical attention, they will be well on their way to loving new families.
