OKLAHOMA CITY -
Five puppies were discovered on Tuesday in a metro Walmart parking lot by a dumpster. The nearly frozen puppies were nursed back to health by a local animal rescue volunteer.
“I’m on my way. I’ll be there to get them,” said Erin Mangrum, volunteer for County Road Animal Rescue.
That was Mangrum s first response to a call she got from the Bethany Animal Shelter on Tuesday.
Mangrum said five, two-week-old puppies were brought to the shelter, struggling to survive. They were left in a Walmart parking lot near Northwest Expressway and Council Road. The mother was nowhere in sight and the temperature was well below freezing. A citizen discovered the puppies and took them to the Bethany Animal Shelter.
