Heartbreaking: 9 Freezing and Starving Puppies Found in Bucket, NJ Appeals for Urgent Help. CLARK— In the Union County township, nine puppies were discovered abandoned in a five-gallon bucket. The Associated Humane Societies is asking the public to aid fund this tragic rescue.
Around 4 p.m. on Thursday, December 5, the discovery was made in Clark, close to the intersection of Frances Drive and Raritan Road.
When a nice Samaritan noticed the bucket moving, they alerted the police.
Unfortunately, by the time they got to AHS, one puppy had already passed away. The remaining eight were discovered to be flea-infested, freezing, famished, and terribly dehydrated.
The puppies, who were only thought to be two weeks old, were sent to the AHS veterinary team for emergency care.
“Our group mobilized rapidly. One of our shelter managers volunteered to foster these vital puppies in her home while the veterinary staff got ready for admittance. The CEO of the Associated Humane Societies, Jerry Rosenthal, stated, “We’re doing everything we can to give them the chance they deserve, even though their condition is serious.”
AHS is in dire need of donations in order to give the puppies the necessary medical care, cozy bedding, nutritious food, and other necessities.
All donations, regardless of size, are accepted and will be used immediately to aid in the eight puppies’ recuperation.
Additionally, assistance is required to attempt to determine who is to blame for the puppies’ abandonment. Please contact the Clark Police Department at 732-388-3434 if you know anything.
