Husky puppies dumped on a California shelter’s doorstep have been saved from being euthanized just days before Christmas.

The eight 3-week-old puppies were abandoned in a cupboard, without their mother, outside the shelter in Redding, northern California.

But the shelter was already over capacity with more than 380 dogs, meaning the bundle was at risk of being euthanized, and employees at Street Dog Hero (SDH), an animal rescue organization in Bend, Oregon, went to pick up the puppies.

“So the Street Dog Hero team drove down to Redding, California this past Sunday to meet with the rescue partner and picked up all 8 husky puppies,” SDH said in a statement sent to Newsweek.

“They then drove them back to Bend where they are now safe and are waiting in foster homes until they are old enough to be adopted into forever homes.”
