Abandoned puppies expected to survive

INCLINE VILLAGE — Nine days ago a man found a box of 10 puppies in a dumpster behind a South Lake Tahoe gas station. They were only a few hours old. Six of them survived and are now being cared for at the Pet Network Humane Society in Incline Village. Executive Director Becky Goodman says she was horrified.
“Initially the reaction when you find out that someone would take newborn puppies and pull them from their mother is bad enough but to pull them from their mother and put them in a dumpster is just unconscionable.”
The puppies spend days at the shelter and nights with several foster parents. They eyes are still shut and they need to be fed every two hours.
“It’s a little scary and a little tiring but it’s very worthwhile,” board member and foster parent Diane Finegan said. “It feel wonderful, it really does. They are so sweet and they deserve a chance in life and we’re hoping they get good homes.”
