LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Four dogs were living in the Mojave Desert for a couple weeks without food and water until they were rescued by Las Vegas Valley animal shelters.
The Nevada SPCA sent a release about their rescue. They say four puppies lived outside Baker, California without food and water until Paws Patrol LV was contacted.
On Aug. 2, officials say a good samaritan saw the puppies at a gas station off the I-15. Paws Patrol confirmed with gas station employees that the four dogs were roaming the desert for about a month.
After five days, Paws Patrol caught the dogs who have reportedly been eating rocks to survive.
Four puppies spent weeks in the Mojave Desert outside of Baker, California in blistering heat without food and water before being rescued by a Las Vegas organization Paws Patrol LV.
The dogs are now in the care of Nevada SPCA.
“It’s such a relief after spending so many sleepless nights wondering if these puppies were safe from all the dangers in the desert like coyotes,” said Joyce Foreman from Paws Patrol.
“After seeing the gut-wrenching photos of these dogs in skeletal condition and vomiting rocks, they are now safe and getting the best medical care from our team,” says Lori Heeren, Nevada SPCA Executive Director. “We are so grateful for the Paws Patrol team that stops at nothing to rescue these abandoned animals.”
Nevada SPCA say they will be up for adoption. For more information, contact Nevada SPCA at 702.873.7722 or go to their website at nevadaspca.org
