These Puppies Were Left to Fend For Themselves in the Cold

Seven puppies were found alone in a barn in Winnipeg. They were only one month old and were alone. Unfortunately, one of the puppies passed away before being transported to Toronto Humane Society.

Once these small, fragile, puppies arrived in our care, they received a medical exam and were diagnosed with Sarcoptic Mange, also known as scabies. This disease is caused by tiny Sarcoptic mites that aren’t visible to the naked eye. They burrow under the skin and cause itching, redness, and skin crusts at the tips of the ears, elbows, chest, and stomach.

Sarcoptic Mange is highly contagious and can spread from pet to pet or from pet to human, so these adorable puppies had to be isolated for their first few weeks with us while receiving treatment. Thanks to support from our animal-loving community, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto received the medical care they needed to grow healthy and happy before finding their forever homes.
