Florida Dachshund Rescue just received a mama and three puppies (6/23/12). They were dumped in the woods (probably after they became too much trouble). When one puppy was hit by a car and killed, a good samaritan stopped. He buried the puppy and started looking for more. He found a mama and three puppies.
They are about 10 weeks old and mama is close to catatonic. They all have demodectic mange (not contagious), but are in great need of love & care. Mama is dried up and no longer even knows she has pups. They will be at the vet for at least a week. Mama is heartworm positive and will need treatment for that too.
