Poor babies!

Haninis! The Association for Abandoned Animals has shared photos of a litter of five puppies that was found abandoned in the field. While they’re the cutest babies, they’re also very sick, the organisations shared.

“Another litter of 5 puppies brought in by a kind gentleman who found them all abandoned in a field,” they started off on Facebook. “Dogs are so sick, all are wheezing badly and one puppy has fluid in the lungs. Tick and fleas infestation so badly and injuries all over their tiny bodies.”

“These puppies are not even 6 weeks old and not even 2kgs, and they are already passing from this.” Jahasra! “Dogs are all on medication - strong antibiotics so hopefully they will survive.”

“Please do not call to reserve, at this point we only hope we will manage to save them,” AAA appealed, saying they are not looking for homes “for such sick puppies” and updates in the future will be shared.
