24 Poodle Cross Puppies Abandoned In A Truck, Now All Have Forever Homes

You may have heard a story of one puppy abandoned to fend for itself. You may have even heard of an entire litter dropped off somewhere. But last winter, 24 puppies were found in the back of a truck in Scotland. They have struggled with parasites and other life-threatening medical conditions. But today, every puppy in this little pack has found a home.

The Cairnryan ferry port lies in Loch Ryan, just across from Ireland. January is cold and breezy, with high temperatures just hitting 44 degrees Fahrenheit. On one of these days, someone heard an awful sound coming from the ferry port, so they called authorities. It turns out 24 puppies had been abandoned in the back of a truck parked there. They were sealed into cardboard boxes with no food or water.

The dogs were from at least two litters (though likely more). Some are a crossbreed of a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle (often called a "CockaPoo") and others were a crossbreed of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle (a "CavaPoo," if you will).

The big pack of puppies were suffering from gastrointestinal issues and severe ear mites. Vets said they must have been in very unsanitary conditions. And they said something else, treatment would cost over $1k per dog.

Local folks came together to help the puppies. In just a few days, a crowdfunder campaign had raised 23,000 pounds. That would be nearly $30k in USD. It looked like the critters were in the clear. But then one of them had a fatal heart murmur. Her only shot at life was an expensive operation.

Good samaritans stepped in again. A veterinary clinic in Glasgow, Scotland–called CrumPets–completed the operation for free and saved the puppy's life. Jemma Chessar, who is a mom of three, adopted this puppy and named her Skye.

Chessar said, "We love going on beach walks and teaching Skye new tricks. She loves every minute of her life."

Sharon Davis adopted another one of the pups and named it Indie, after Indiana Jones of course.

"My husband and I were very fortunate to be given the opportunity to adopt Indie and he came home with us in February. He has settled in so well and is such a lovely natured little furball. He loves his snuggles and is very sociable with both humans and other four-legged friends. He is massively spoilt and showered in love and kisses."

These two-dozen poodle pups have the Scottish SPCA to thank for saving their life and rehoming them. Now that they all have forever homes, the SPCA Fostering and Rehoming Lead Anna O'Donnell said, "While this is fantastic result for the Cairnryan puppies and the charity as a whole this sadly isn't an isolated incident…We'd urge people thinking of rehoming an animal to have an open mind about the kind of pet you could give a home to."

Puppies Rescued From Lorry With 'life-threatening Diseases' Get New Homes

Dozens of puppies rescued from the back of a lorry at Cairnryan ferry port with "life-threatening" diseases have found new homes.

The SSPCA was called to the port earlier this year after being alerted by a member of the public who thought she heard dogs "crying" from inside a lorry.

Two dozen cockapoo and cavapoo puppies were discovered in a "dire situation" confined under the lorry in cardboard boxes and without any food or water.

After being taken to one of the charity's rescue and rehoming centres for immediate veterinary care, they were found to be suffering from severe ear mites and other life-threatening diseases.

Staff treating the animals worked around the clock to screen the puppies who had a variety of gastrointestinal illnesses due to living in unsanitary conditions.

Six months on from the ordeal, the animal charity has confirmed that every single one of them is "healthy, happy and has been rehomed".

Following the discovery of the pups, a fundraiser was set to up to help cover the £25,000 costs of their treatment which raised more than £23,000 in just two days.

The money went to toward helping each puppy, including those with the most serious health conditions like Piper.

Piper had been born with a heart murmur, which had gone undetected through her neglect.

The SSPCA vet team caught the condition and transferred the pup to local vets CrumPets, in Glasgow, who carried out a lifesaving heart operation on the Piper free of charge.

The puppy is now thriving with her new family in Linlithgow.

Mum-of-three Jemma Chessar who adopted Piper, now called Skye said: "Our whole family adore her – she has made our home complete.

"We love going on beach walks and teaching Skye new tricks. She loves every minute of her life."

Fellow pup Indie, who was named after the Hollywood action hero Indiana Jones, is also flourishing in her new home.

Owner Sharon Davison said: "Indie has bounced in to our lives and stole our hearts.

"My husband and I were very fortunate to be given the opportunity to adopt Indie and he came home with us in February.

"He has settled in so well and is such a lovely natured little furball.

"He loves his snuggles and is very sociable with both humans and other four-legged friends.

"He is massively spoilt and showered in love and kisses."

Rare Frogs And Illegal Drugs - Palisades Hudson Financial Group

Colombian conservationist Ivan Lozano has hit on a brilliantly promising strategy to protect his country’s rare and endangered amphibians. His plan: Flood the market with them. Lozano is not hunting rare frogs in Colombia’s Andean forests. He is raising them himself and selling them at prices designed to undercut poachers and smugglers. If he can raise the frogs cheaply enough, and in large enough numbers, he might manage to drive down the market price to the point that poachers no longer find it worthwhile to harvest and smuggle the creatures onto the black markets. Lozano told The Associated Press that his company also encourages collectors to breed their own frogs. Picture yourself as a poacher. If the government toughens the legal penalties and steps up enforcement, you will shrug your shoulders; legal risks are a basic cost of doing business. Since the demand for your product already exists among foreign collectors and other buyers, tougher enforcement merely reduces supply a...

Burn scars, winter storms threaten rare and endangered species in San Gabriel Mountains - The Bakersfield Californian

LOS ANGELES — Up until a few weeks ago, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River was one of the most abundant wildlife habitats in Los Angeles County, a secluded and rugged area defined by its steep peaks, lush canyons and mixture of rare and endangered species. Recently however, a team of federal biologists and forest rangers was aghast when it visited the stream following the Bobcat fire, which has burned more than 115,000 acres in the heart of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Terrain that once resembled a High Sierra granite gorge now looked like ground zero after a nuclear explosion, and the usually clean mountain air was sharp with the stench of smoke. Particularly unsettling were the bare and ashen slopes that were now primed to dissolve under pounding winter storms. A heavy mudslide, experts said, could reverse decades of conservation efforts by inundating the last outposts for such federally protected species as the Santa Ana sucker fish and Southern California m...
