Marshfield "Dumpster" Puppies Meet Their Rescuer
Monday, April 1st, 2019 -- 10:45 AM
-Four weeks after being found abandoned in a dumpster, nine puppies were introduced to their rescuer for the first time.Around noon on February 28, door-to-door sales rep Mark Theobald heard what sounded like crying kittens coming from a trash container. He alerted his boss, who called police. Instead of the suspected cats, police found newborn puppies tied in a garbage bag inside the dumpster. The puppies were taken to Marshfield Area Pet Shelter, where they remain in foster care until old enough to be adopted. MAPS also has temporary custody of their mother. Theobald has been following updates about the puppies on social media and in the news, but until Friday, March 29, had not formally met the puppies he helped rescue. Theobald and his family, along with members of Marshfield Police Department who helped on February 28, enjoyed a special visit with the puppies on Friday.
The puppies all have cheese-related names in honor of their Wisconsin heritage. During the visit, “Brie” took a special liking to he and his family, and will likely be joining their loving household in a couple of months, something he hopes for all of the puppies. Adoption applications for the puppies are being accepted after April 11. Stay tuned to MAPS’ Facebook page for updates, photos, and video of the puppies as they grow.
