SIX abandoned puppies need a home!
My friend found ALL these puppies abandoned at the Bark Park yesterday. All the local shelters including Alaqua are full! Please call Sarah at 504-931-3777 to adopt or make a donation to help her get them to the vet.

oh they are all precious. and abandoned! I can't imagine why anyone would do this - they could at least abandon them on the front steps of a shelter.
a donation is a good suggestion. thanks scrltB.

Abandonded Dogs
First I have to say that I am appalled at this. I hope you can find a good home for them. I have been trying to convince my fiance for weeks that we need to adopt another dog to keep our beagle company. In full disclosure, I am a reporter with the Walton Sun. We would love to talk to you and maybe take some pics and let you tell us the story. If you are interested we would love to hear from you. You can PM me back, or email me at malgarin@waltonsun.com. I appreciate your time.

Why can't every single dog and cat owner just have their pets spayed/neutered?

And if you won't do that, please don't just ABANDON animals! 
A lot of people work very hard to support and run our local shelters - the least these bat-turds could do is drop off animals there.

I like the one standing up showing his belly! They are all adorable, but I'll bet Cowboy would digg him.

Great news! Is the one standing up adopted, yet? (I am not getting a puppy, I am not getting a puppy!)
But, I'll help bump this thread so they all get a new home!!

happy puppy!
Meet Baby Spencer - so happy to be chosen by a beautiful princess. I was honored to meet Princess and Baby Spencer today at Red Bar. I have a feeling they were meant for each other! 
I believe there are 2 more puppies from the Bark Park abandoned litter waiting for a family to take them home.

If you are thinking about adopting, please remember that they don't stay cute little puppies. Try to understand the breed you may be getting so you aren't disappointed later. It's fair to you and the pups, right?

Usually feet is a good indication, big feet, big dog.

It kills me to see all those pups without a home. I'm used to a big Border Collie outside dog. Not for everyone. Wish I could get another big outside dog, but not happening anytime in my near future. Pick a dog you will love for life...Not just a dog that is cute.
Those pics show me at least a mid-size dog with possible attitude. If they don't get the right attention, easily bad dogs. Possible great dogs in the right home.

definitely very mixed breed, but one of the women helping provide shots, etc., feels they are on the small side. but sizes could very well vary quite a bit between them. who knows. the one I saw today was not only adorable but very calm.
so far, the community has really responded. only a few left as of earlier today.

Yeah SoWal! They are so blessed to find a home. I am just curious if the little rottie looking one found a home. He is soooo cute. I can not keep him but might be willing to foster.

My daughter saw the puppies and wanted one, but I'm about to pass out from the load of kids and animals in my home now. I feel like a mother cat of twelve with two teats. The puppies are so adorable, it will be nice to hear that the last ones have found a home, and I hope soon.

Good to hear, they had the sad look of needing to be loved, bless their little puppy hearts and the people that are taking care of them.

Incredible---the SoWal community does it again! Amazing story! This is so similar to the help we got with a litter of pups last fall (desperate puppies). As a rescuer I must applaud everyone who gave of their time and hearts. Sarah for rescuing them in the first place, Scrltbegonya for starting the thread, Matt for writing the heart warming story in the Sun today (and encouraging further rescues) and the folks who opened their hearts and adopted the pups into forever homes. HEROS---HEROS ALL!
