TARRANT COUNTY, Texas — The dog days of summer are looking up for the eight puppies who were left for dead in a field earlier this week.
After being taken to the Chuck & Brenda Silcox Animal Care & Adoption Center, located at 4900 Martin St. in Fort Worth, the shelter announced that all eight puppies were adopted. Deputy Stephenson, who helped rescue the litter, said he was going to adopt one of the puppies.
In a post, the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office said a litter of eight puppies was left in a field inside a carrier with no water Monday. With North Texas highs reaching triple digits, the puppies were in grave danger.
TCSO said a Good Samaritan called them to come rescue the pups. In the post, deputies took pictures of the dogs inside the patrol car.
The shelter named the litter after chips, including Cheetos, Fritos, Ruffles, Lays Potato and more.
"Unfortunately, due to a lack of surveillance cameras in the area the puppies were found, it is unlikely we will be able to catch whoever dumped the puppies," TCSO added.
