Firefighters Save Puppies—Then Make a Shocking Mistake

Remaining Vigilant

As cities globally expand and grow, animals face increasing difficulty finding natural shelters. If you spot an animal outside its natural habitat, contacting professionals for assistance is essential. This recently occurred when trapped animals were discovered under a shallow storm grate. Although the grate wasn't very deep, the animals couldn't escape. Alerted firefighters initially thought they were small trapped animals. But hearing their cries, they quickly realized they were infants. Once rescued from the drain, the little ones were taken to Woodland Park veterinary clinic. At the clinic, young animals like fox kits receive care until strong enough for wild return. While people often assume lone young animals are always distressed, that isn't necessarily true. But in situations like this, quick, proper intervention can make all the difference.
