CATASAUQUA, Pa. – An animal rescue in Lehigh County is now caring for a litter of newborn puppies found abandoned at a Target store in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
Outcast Rescue received an urgent call from ACCT Philly late Saturday night after eight puppies were discovered inside a shopping bag, according to a release from the rescue.<\/p>\n
Authorities say if these babies not been crying, they may never have been found. They were only hours old when they were found\u2014their umbilical cords were still wet.<\/p>\n
The rescue says when the puppies arrived, their body temperatures were dangerously low. Newborn puppies must be warm in order to survive and to feed, and every minute matters.<\/p>\n
Outcast says they are hopeful that all of these babies will survive, but some of the puppies are dehydrated, and a few are urinating blood, which is deeply concerning. They are receiving round-the-clock care, but they still have a long road ahead, the release says.<\/p>\n
The rescue says they are urgently in need of supplies, such as puppy formula, pee pads, and wipes, to give the puppies the chance they deserve.<\/p>\n
If you have any information of where the puppies came from, authorities urge you to contact ACCT Philly or PSPCA Humane Law Enforcement.<\/p>\n
